The estate of Eckhard and Hildegund Müller is a half-timbered house from the year 1748. As early as 1720, the property, which then belonged to Jakob Jakobs from Ensheim, contained a dilapidated residential house, a support barn, an old, crumbling stable, and a wine press. In the following years, the estate changed hands multiple times: After Petri, Zengerle, and Steil, Peter Keller acquired it from Konrad Mann at auction. Until 1823, Andreas Mayerhöfer is named as the owner, followed by Philipp Schmitt I in 1831, Heinrich Schmitt III in 1849, and Wilhelm Schmitt II in 1887. In 1910, the estate passed to Johann Jung I. Between 1911 and 1914, the first public bath was located on the farm. From 1926 to 1945, a wage grinding operation was housed in the barn, and from 1941 to 1945, the house also served as an accident assistance station. Initiated by Eckhard Müller, a local museum was established in 2007, displaying typical evidence from the past of a Rheinhessen village. In 2016, Eckhard and Hildegund Müller acquired the estate from the co-ownership community of Gudrun, Volker, and Eckhard Müller. In 2017, the house was extensively renovated for their daughter Larissa.
The museum was opened on May 23, 2009, and can actually be visited at any time.
