Discover Futterkamp: History, Exhibition and Adventure Garden
Accommodation in Futterkamp
Futterkamp combines specialist topics, archaeology and a nature-oriented world of experiences. This gives your stay several different focal points: the Construction and Energy Exhibition is dedicated to agricultural construction and energy technology, the archaeological area preserves a medieval rampart at Hochborre, and Filippo's Adventure Garden is located among fruit and berry crops.
Construction and Energy Exhibition as a specialist focus
The Construction and Energy Exhibition in Futterkamp displays exhibits from around 230 companies across more than 3,500 m². Its content focuses on agricultural construction and energy technology. The focus is therefore aimed not only at a general audience interested in culture, but also at visitors who wish to engage with technical, construction-related and agricultural topics.
Closely associated with the exhibition is the Futterkamp Teaching and Research Centre. It is the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture's facility for animal production and agricultural construction. Its responsibilities include agricultural education, research and testing, advisory services and public relations. The educational programme also includes special seminars for those interested in equestrian and driving sports. In Futterkamp, therefore, visitors will find not only an exhibition, but also an institutional setting that includes practical and specialist educational programmes relating to agriculture.
Hochborre and the Archaeology of Futterkamp
The medieval fortified settlement of Hochborre is located in Futterkamp's archaeological area. Its distinctive form makes it an independent historical point of reference: Hochborre is an almost circular castle rampart with a diameter of just under 100 metres. Those interested in earlier settlement structures, fortifications and the history of the area will find a specific archaeological subject here that clearly differs from the exhibition's technical content.
A professionally guided cycling tour offers another way to explore Futterkamp's history. Visitors can learn about Futterkamp's Slavic past during the tour. The cycling tour combines physical activity with historical context, without requiring the same focus as Hochborre. For a stay involving several interests, this creates a meaningful complement between an individual archaeological site and a guided exploration of the region's past.
Filippo's Adventure Garden among Fruit and Berry Crops
Filippo's Adventure Garden offers a different focus. It is located among strawberry fields, rows of raspberries and apple trees. This specific setting distinguishes it from Futterkamp's specialist and archaeological topics and adds a stronger connection with nature to stay planning.
Planning Visits Around Opening Times
Free visits to the Construction and Energy Exhibition are offered on the second Thursday of each month from October to July, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This schedule is particularly relevant when planning a stay in Futterkamp if visiting the exhibition is to be a fixed part of the day.
Further visits to the Construction and Energy Exhibition are available by prior arrangement. In addition to the regular monthly appointment, this means that visits can also be arranged individually.
