Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open air- and folklore fuseum of the Greater SaarLorLux Region in Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q315313. VIAF identifies the subject as 295320134. The Library of Congress control number is n93017244. Authority coordinates are 49.705, 6.597. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
