The German term "Bergbauernhof"(mountain peasant farm) may irritate because one thinks of farms in the alps with the same names. In Harz, however, this term refers to "Bergstadt" (town in the mountains) and has close affiliation to "Bergwerk" (mines) which were present in former times everywhere in the Harz mountain.

The term "Klein-Tirol" (Little Tirol) on the other hand was probably given by some holiday guests a few decades ago because of Wildemann's location. The area where the farm is today was for quite some time a carpenter's shop and a place where wooden boxes were made. there was also a small guest house. Later some privat persons made this place into a hotel which in 1970 burned down and the area was unused for quite some time.

With assistance of a generous sponsor it became possible to establish the farm (Bergbauernhof) which was opened on 10 August 1996 with a large ceremony.

Approximately 30 animals, cows, cattle and calves as well as some Harz goats are now kept in a pen on straw. the so-called "foxes", a special kind of shepherd dogs to guard the herd are also living there.

The "Society for maintenance of old and endangered domestic animals" appointed this farm as "Arche-Hof" (only of german).
