The Red Haubarg is a historic farm dating from the 17th century and is located on the Eiderstedt peninsula in north-west Germany. Contrary to its name, it is not red but white, covered with a huge thatched roof. However, it is true that the "Haubarg" design comes from Holland and that the distribution area is limited to Eiderstedt. Haubarge were simply agricultural businesses, designed to have everything under one roof: livestock, servants and rulers. Today there are about 45 of these huge farms left. In the middle of the 19th century there were 10 times as many. However, the Red Haubarg is the only one open to the public.
