Bad Tatzmannsdorf open-air museum

One of the houses

The Bad Tatzmannsdorf open-air museum in the municipality of Bad Tatzmannsdorf in southern Burgenland in Austria brings together regional wooden buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries that have been removed from their original locations. The ensemble is partially a listed building.

prehistory

In 1960 , the last kitting was to be removed in Oberwart , a wooden storage tank "cemented" with clay. He was secured by the monument authority. Since other wooden buildings worthy of monument were also in danger of being demolished, considerations arose to transfer them to an open-air museum in order to ensure the long-term difficult conservation through concentration.

In 1967 the monument authority decided in favor of the Bad Tatzmannsdorf location , where an area on the edge of the park was available on the initiative of the then spa director and later mayor Franz Rehling. The first group of wooden buildings that had already been replaced by the owners and for which a common space was sought, could be transferred there.
