Agricultural machinery hall

The Börde Museum presents part of its agricultural technology collection on a 500 square metre covered area.

Due to its intensive agricultural use, the Magdeburg Börde became a development area for agricultural technology. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, steam ploughs were mainly used here. The Börde Museum's collection of steam ploughs is one of the largest in Europe. The development of more powerful tractors replaced steam ploughs in the 20th century. Classic GDR tractors from this period (such as the Pionier, Harz type and Brockenhexe) are on display.
