Ötztal open-air museum
The Ötztaler Heimat- und Freilichtmuseum , opened in 1979, is a small open-air museum in Längenfeld , Austria . His area of work is the Ötztal in Tyrol . The museum has two historic farms with outbuildings that have been preserved in situ and several technical buildings lined up along a mill stream. The museum is supported by the Ötztaler Heimatverein .
Main building with outbuildings
The main building of the museum is a middle-corridor house from the 17th century that has been preserved in situ and was inhabited until 1966. It is furnished in the style of 1900. There is also a room for special exhibitions on the top floor. In front of this is an oven that is used several times in summer. Behind the main house is a barn with barn that was built in 1618 and Oberried here translocated was. The ensemble is complemented by a post store of around 1500. These storages were always located away from the courtyard so as not to endanger the most important foods in the event of a fire.
Ötztal memory storage
The Schmiedlas House , located directly above the main building, was acquired for the museum by the Ötztaler Heimatverein in 2005 and then renovated. Gothic elements were found and the house was unexpectedly old. Today it helps to preserve the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Ötztal as a memory storage facility . The aim of the project is also a rich, user-friendly database that provides answers to all search options. The project is currently (2017) under construction and the current main task is the processing of the existing inventory.
technology
Am Lehnbach is below its waterfall and above the museum complex is an area with saws, mills and facilities for flax processing .
The bottom building is basically a Venzian saw . It has stood on the Lehnbach since 1827, but previously it was possibly on the other side of the valley. The log house next to the saw was inhabited until 1965 and gives an impression of the poor conditions under which some of the valley residents lived.
The next building, the Pluil , is a mechanized flax breaker brought here from Unterried . The Schwinghütte shows the next step in flax processing. Swinging with water power and not manually is a rarity and the swinging hut is also the last of its kind in the Ötztal. A flour mill from around 1700 from Zwieselstein near Sölden still stands between these two buildings .
