Lower Bavarian open-air museums in Massing and Finsterau
The Lower Bavarian open-air museums in Massing and Finsterau in Massing and Mauth fulfill the task of presenting the former life, economy and building of the rural population of Lower Bavaria . The sponsor is a municipal association to which the district of Lower Bavaria , the district of Rottal-Inn , the district of Freyung-Grafenau and the communities of Massing and Mauth belong. The museums are under scientific management.
Finsterau open-air museum
The Finsterau open-air museum is located in the municipality of Mauth on the outskirts of Finsterau in the Bavarian Forest near the Czech border. It houses farmhouses, complete courtyards, a village blacksmith's shop and a street inn from the entire Bavarian Forest. The everyday life of the farmers and day laborers in this region was arduous. In the Finsterau open-air museum, everyday things, such as tools or woven cloth, are put in their original context. There are also festivals, markets and special exhibitions where craftsmen present their craft. In the "Ehrn", the old street inn from Kirchaitnach , the museum visitors are entertained.
The courtyards
- Kapplhof : The museum was opened with the Kapplhof in 1980. The house and yard were rebuilt, repaired and expanded several times. The image of the Waldlerhof , as it emerged in the small villages and hamlets of the inner Bavarian Forest in the 17th and 18th centuries , remained until the end . The house and the cattle shed are united under a flat, clapboard-covered gable roof, the carefully crafted grain bin has the same roof and the stable is built similarly.
- Tanzer-Hof : The Tanzer-Hof existed for barely a hundred years . 31 days of forest, meadows and fields and an undeveloped farm in Angerdorf Einberg were removed from his brother's large farm for Michael Tanzer in 1879. But it was not enough: The colorful facade and the artful decor of the bedroom cannot hide the fact that the reasons for a farm were not enough.
- Sachl : The residents of the Sachl in Rumpenstadl never got out of their worries. The fields were too bad, the meadows too small and there was no forest. That is why the old wooden house is so poorly built. The stable and cellar are small, the living room, kitchen and closet are narrow, the furniture is old and worn.
- Petzi-Hof : Never before has a farm of this size with all its buildings been transferred as a whole to an open-air museum. The Petzi-Hof from Pötzerreut consists of a large storage house, in-house, delivery house and oven, cowshed, ox barn and barn. The house from 1704 is the oldest, the barn from 1927 the youngest. Forest ownership and large, fertile fields made the Petzi-Hof a wealthy property. Nevertheless, the furnishings in the rooms and chambers are modest. The focal point of every room is the brick oven.
- Schanzer-Häusl : The Schanzer-Häusl from Riedelsbach in the Bavarian Forest, which opened in late 2007, is a real Bohemian Forest house. This type of house existed in both the inner Bavarian and the inner Bohemian Forest . The house was built between 1826 and 1840 and was inhabited until 1963. A characteristic of this type of house is the far-drawn hipped roof with shingle covering, which covers a living area in block construction and mostly stalls made of natural stone. Apartment, cattle shed and barn are united under one roof.
Massing open-air museum
The open-air museum Massing was founded in 1969 and was one of the first museums of its kind in Bavaria. Initially, only the most beautiful things from rural Rottal were shown, including wooden houses, painted cupboards and chests, Kröninger ceramics , embroidered and turned items. More everyday objects are now being presented. With the Marxensölde came the world of small farmers, with the Kochhof the fascination of technology: wind wells, tractors, arched stables, enameled pots, bowls and buckets. Orchards, field borders, hedges and avenues were also created. Spring market, midsummer and beer festival and the museum skirta are highlights of the museum year.
The courtyards
The home of the Kochhof was between Rott and Inn, the Heilmeierhof comes from a village on the edge of the broad Isar valley, the Lehnerhof stood in the middle of the Hallertau hop gardens and the Schusteröderhof's house was originally located not far from Massing.
- Schusteröderhof : The Schusteröderhof, with which the museum in Massing was started, remains as it was created in 1969. Its furnishings include things of rural living in the Rottal, such as its double shot with the turned balusters and the Arma-Christi cross on the barn.
- Kochhof : The center of the museum is the Kochhof. Peacocks, chickens, pigs, cats, a flock of house pigeons and often cattle have their “home” there. Everything is in its place in this courtyard as it was around 1930. The whole house made of wood with its two pieces of wood is a typical "Rottal farmhouse". The two-name Bundwerkstadl with the year 1836 painted on it bears witness to the wealth of the Kochhof farmer.
- Freilinger Häusl : The Freilinger Häusl is presented as a "naked" architectural monument. Its fate was that it stood empty most of the time or was used as a shed. That is why this farmhouse, which is one of the oldest in Lower Bavaria, has been preserved. Wood block construction, shot (balcony) and leg shingle roof have shaped the appearance of the Lower Bavarian farmhouses for centuries.
- Marxensölde : The Marxensölde stable house is dated in 1887. Everything that belongs to a small farm is gathered here under one roof.
- Lehnerhof : The Lehnerhof comes from the Hallertau . The owners had their livelihood with hops, pig fattening and dairy farming.
Award
In 2007 the open-air museum in Massing received the special prize of the Bavarian Museum Prize for the conception and refurbishment of the collection depot and its exemplary operation.
