House in the moss
The Haus im Moos in Kleinhohenried is a museum in combination with an educational and conference center in the Donaumoos . It opened in 1998.
The settlement documents the struggle of the colonists for drainage and management of the moor, which began in the late 18th century.
main building
In the main building there are seminar and exhibition rooms in which changing exhibitions on the history of the settlement of the Donaumoos are shown, as well as the local history museum of the Donaumoos cultural and historical association.
Outdoor area
The outdoor area is designed as an open-air museum with several historical buildings, nature discovery trails and animal enclosures that have been moved to Kleinhohenried. The old building also includes the Rosinger Hof, which houses the museum restaurant, a hall and, since 2008, a historic bowling alley. The Kolonistenhof was built in Rosing in 1795 or 1796 ; its half-timbered gable and the clay ceilings in the dining room date from the time it was built.
The remaining moved Donaumooshouses can be viewed as museum houses with outbuildings, fountains and gardens. It is a day laborer's house and two moss farms that are true to the original. They line up on a street that is lined with drainage ditches and birch trees.
The Öxler farm represents one of the larger farms in the Donaumoos from around 1910. It is equipped with a garden, a well and ancillary buildings. The interior fittings also included the roller blinds from the early 20th century, decorated with an acanthus pattern . Although these were preserved, they could not be hung up again in the old house due to extensive damage and had to be rewoven true to the original. Other furnishings in the Öxler-Hof come from the holdings of the cultural-historical association Donaumoos, i.e. not from the original house. It is known, however, who lived in the courtyard around 1910, so that the furnishings could be chosen accordingly. Farmer Andreas Roche or Rusch and his wife Bertha, who was seven years older than him and who had been married to Ludwig Öxler for the first time, raised four children. Of these, three came from the farmer's first marriage, a son named Sepp and two daughters named Juliana and Bertha, while the youngest daughter Maria came from the marriage with Roche. The remaining ten or eleven children born to the owner of the farm did not survive their early childhood. The farm has a barn in which the grain harvest from around two hectares of arable land could be stored. In an open hut were peat, wagons and other equipment. Many implements for field work, e.g. B. a heap plow and a bifang harrow, which was used for growing potatoes, had their place in the house.
The inventory of the Hofstetter estate dates back to somewhat later years than the Öxler-Hof, around 1923. This farm is smaller overall, but has two separate entrances for the owner family and the Austrägler. The living rooms are provided with rich colored decorations. The house once stood at Schrobenhausener Straße 68 in Grasheim and was relocated in 1994. In 1880 the married couple Anna and Michael Schedelbauer received the then new house as part of an inheritance division. Michael Schedelbauer was a trained shoemaker and practiced this trade alongside agriculture. After losing his wife in 1911, he moved into the discharge chamber. His eldest daughter Veronika ran the farm with her husband for two years, then handed it over to her brother Josef, who also soon moved away. The Hofstetter property came into the hands of Katharina Gogel, a daughter from the first marriage of Josef Schedelbauer's wife, who was married to Alois Oppenheimer from 1921. The Hofstetter house received its colorful interior during the first period of this marriage. The farm included a horse, two cows, a pig and a large house garden. In 1925, Oppenheimer fell from the floor ladder and died. Two years later, the widowed Katharina Oppenheimer married Josef Hofstetter. In 1942, the property was swapped into the hands of Berta and Michael Hofstetter, who had no children. Her nephew left the Hofstetter property to the museum.
Without authentic furnishings, but with a small exhibition about the basket makers of the Donaumoos, the so-called Canal House is on the other side of Museum Street. It comes from Grillheim and stood there on the cheapest building site between the canal and the street. Originally it served as a day laborer's house. It dates from around 1860 and once stood at the northern end of today's Eicherstrasse in Grillheim. The builders of the canal house were Anna and Michael Weidner, a basket maker couple from Grillheim. They financed half of the construction with a loan from the church in Karlskron , which they never repaid. After Anna Weidner died in 1873, Michael Weidner inherited the entire property. His son Annaklet was given the right to live in the house until they were married, the younger son, who was described as "crippled and absolutely unable [...] to ever earn his own living", received the right to live for life. Michael Weidner remarried in 1876, sold the house, but continued to live in it with his family - now for rent. In 1877 he bought it back. He died twelve years later. By this time Annaklet Weidner had already moved out and was living as a factory worker in Heufeld. Johann Weidner paid him and his stepmother out, but the latter received a right to live in the house. In 1897 he sold it to the aged Kügler couple, but retained the right to live free of charge for life in one of the two rooms. Later, Kügler's son Jakob Eichner lived with his wife and two small children in the Canal House, although these young people were often not present because they went on trips as basket makers. In 1913 the property was inherited by Maria Eichner, but the old Küglers retained their right of residence. In 1926 Maria Eichner's widower inherited the house with four minor children, who in turn were granted right of residence until they were married.
European bison and other grazing animals
After attempts had been made until the 1960s to practice agriculture on the difficult peatland, the Donaumoos development plan for 2000–2030 is intended to expand the grassland areas and stop the loss of peatland. The aim is to use meadows, to build water retention areas and to expand moor growth areas, as well as grazing by bison , Murnau-Werdenfels cattle and moorland snouts . These animals are kept and presented on the premises of the Haus im Moos; the bison herd is the largest in the Free State of Bavaria .

The Donaumoos Open Air Museum and Environmental Education Center (short name: HAUS im MOOS) is responsible for the facility in Kleinhohenried. The public foundation under civil law with legal capacity was established by the district of Upper Bavaria , the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen and the Donaumoos communities of Karlskron, Karlshuld and Königsmoos and approved by the government of Upper Bavaria on August 19, 1997. The foundation board currently consists of the three first mayors of the communities, the foundation council includes representatives of the district assembly of Upper Bavaria and the district assembly of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen.
