Purpose of the association
In addition to global research into the multi-century history of the Pies family (with relatives in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Poland, France, Holland etc.) with the necessary international, intercultural contacts, the association pursues the purpose of historical research (cultural, local - and population history) of the area of Hunsrück-Eifel-Mosel-Nahe-Saar, in particular through
- Collecting, archiving and documenting certificates and documents, image testimonies, estates and literature,
- Publications of the collected material in the form of series of publications,
- Creation and maintenance of a research and communication center with a museum open to the public,
- Publication of a membership newspaper that appears once or twice a year,
- Information events at which research results are communicated,
- Maintenance of the connection with archives, libraries, publishers and editorial offices,
- Information from the domestic and foreign public,
- Acquisition and use of financial resources to carry out the work of the archive, to acquire the library, to print publications, to set up and maintain the research center with archive and museum.
Library
The extensive reference library contains numerous books on regional history as well as local and family chronicles. The collection of previously unpublished "family books" from the Hunsrück, Eifel and Saar regions includes 2,400 locations with data from many millions of people from the last four centuries and beyond, based on church book evaluations and evaluations of secular sources. This enables genealogists to create individual lineages and ancestors in a very short time.
museum
In addition to permanent exhibitions on the history of medicine, regional history and the history of the Pies family, in particular on the history of the Hunsrück bone tinker, the Vorderhunsrück Museum also houses temporary exhibitions. Original maps and reproductions of maps of the Archdiocese of Trier and the County of Sponheim as well as neighboring territories from several centuries are currently being presented under the title Our Homeland on old maps .
archive
Items from the Pies family and the region that are worth keeping (furniture, jewelry, maps, original documents, etc.) are kept in the archive.
Museum building
The building was built in 1837/38 with rubble stones as a Catholic rectory. In November 1936 it was destroyed by fire. In 1991/92 the house was restored according to the old building file and prepared for today's purpose. The 34 brightly colored coats of arms windows created by the glass artist Elisabeth Neumann-Wagner are well worth seeing.
Scientific special projects
Scientific projects are designed, carried out and supported in the research center, including:
- Dissertations: In the past few years five medical and two legal dissertations have been supervised.
- Dialect audio library: In 2014, the dialect audio library initiated a project aimed at counteracting the rapidly increasing extinction of dialect diversity. The aim is to record the innumerable nuances, especially of the Hunsrück , Eifel and Moselle dialect variants and to pass them on to future generations not only in writing, but also phonetically. A scientific analysis is also planned on the basis of standardized texts.
Awards
The association regularly awards deserving members and non-members who have made a special contribution to the goals of the association with the golden commemorative medal donated by the association's founder in 1986. On the other hand, the activities of the research center and its members were awarded the Order of Merit by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate through badges of honor and the association's founder (from North Rhine-Westphalia) .
