Bauernhofmuseum Jexhof

What Bauernhofmuseum Jexhof does

Bauernhofmuseum Jexhof is a public open-air farm museum located in Schöngeising, Bavaria, Germany, operated by the Landkreis Fürstenfeldbruck as a government state entity under the oversight of Landrat Thomas Karmasin. The museum occupies an Ein-Öd-Hof (isolated farmstead) dating back approximately 600 years, with a 250-year-old main farmhouse, stables, barn, and bakehouse depicting rural Bavarian life from approximately 100 years ago. People lived on the farm until 1980, and the site was converted into a museum around 1986. It is currently led by Museumsleiterin Dr. Hannah Maischein and supported by Trägerverein Erlebnisraum, the Bürgerstiftung Fürstenfeldbruck via the JEXHOF FONDS, and the Landpartie – Museen rund um München network of nine regional museums.

The core product is a permanent exhibition (Dauerausstellung) supplemented by rotating special exhibitions (Sonderausstellungen), guided tours (Führungen), school and kindergarten programs, children's Saturday workshops and holiday programs, and a year-round event calendar (Jahresprogramm) covering workshops, lectures, and cultural events. The site also offers an on-site restaurant and beer garden (Gastronomie), a playground, and an Arche / demonstration garden. Museum technology is limited to a standard CMS-backed website, event booking, an email newsletter via Rapidmail, and OpenStreetMap for location; no APIs, proprietary platforms, or AI/ML capabilities are described. The site is BITV 2.0 / EN 301 549 partially compliant and provides accessibility tools for visually impaired visitors.

Revenue is generated from admission fees (summer: €4 adult / €2.50 child; winter: €3 adult / €1.50 child), annual passes (€15 individual / €24 family), guided tours (€50–€70 plus admission), paid workshops and courses (€7.50–€180), and on-site gastronomy. The museum does not accept credit card payments and serves a distributed customer base of families, school groups, adults/seniors, and community organizations. Distribution is walk-in, pre-booked group visits, and on-site food and beverage; no online product sales or third-party distribution channels exist. Marketing runs through organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), a website and event calendar, email newsletter, and direct outreach for group bookings.
