The Heimat- und Museumverein Perg was founded in 1967 under the name Heimatverein Perg with the aim of building a home in Perg and building up a local history collection .

history

prehistory

Various archive materials that were kept in the tower of the parish church of Perg came to the Perg town hall, which was newly built after a fire, in 1876 and were viewed and sorted in 1908 by the State Archives Adjunct Eduard Straßmayr and published in a brochure.

After the First World War , Florian Eibensteiner researched all remaining documents. The result of his local history research was self-published by his son Konrad Eibensteiner in 1933 as "Das illustrated Heimatbuch Perg, OÖ." published. From 1938 Gustav Brachmann began as District Administrator of Perg with the construction of a home in Perg. He created a local history collection on Perg, which in the middle of 1944 comprised about 3000 collector's items and was housed in the Citizens Hospital . This first museum was not open to the public, but was available to those interested. It was looted at the end of the war in 1945. Some of the remnants that remained were brought by Brachmann to Freistadt in 1947 and some of them were stored in the attic of the Perg secondary school , where they were forgotten. Parts of the Perger market archive were moved to the Upper Austrian Provincial Archives in Linz in 1948 .

Foundation of an association

With excavations to uncover a prehistoric burial ground in the village of Auhof , interest in the history of the closer homeland was revived.

On January 25, 1967, a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Michael Crisenaz, the Georg Trauner-Schützeneder, Johann Grübler senior, Johann Jahn, August Eichinger, Friedrich Walser, Josef Waidhofer , Franz Baumann senior, Richard Seidl, Maria Reumann, Elsa Shopfitters, Friedrich Schützeneder, Rudolf Zach , Alfred Fries, Hans Grübler Jr., Werner Marschner, Dagobert Hofstätter and Rudolf Reisinger belonged to the group. With the approval of the Linz Security Directorate on March 21, 1967, the foundation of the association became legally binding. The first chairman was Georg Trauner-Schützeneder, Friedrich Walser acted as curator, August Eichinger as treasurer and Johann Jahn as secretary.

Former locations

Citizens Hospital (1938 to 1946)

Even before the association was founded, there was a first home in the former citizens' hospital on Linzer Straße.

Dimmel store (1969 to 1974)

Appeals to the population and personal contacts began to build up a collection, which from June 1968 was stored in a teaching material room in the old Perg elementary school . It was only in the course of the preparations for the city elevation in September 1969 that the first public exhibition of the collection was opened in Dimmelhaus, Herrenstrasse 46, which was very well attended with 2000 visitors. This space was eventually rented and served as a home until 1974.

Former Weights and Measures Office (1974 to 1993)

The adaptation of the former calibration office, Töpferweg 2, proved to be unsuitable from the start as a permanent museum building, as it only covered an area of ​​60 square meters. It took around twenty years until the appropriately rebuilt and adapted Heimathaus-Stadtmuseum Perg in Stifterstrasse 1 (former residential and business building of the painter Josef Uhl) could be opened on October 23, 1993.

Location

Heimathaus-Stadtmuseum Perg (since 1993)

After the death of the painter Josef Uhl, the municipality of Perg bought his residential and business premises in 1991. With the help of architect R. Kroh and consultation with public authorities, the property was converted into a museum building and made available to the local history association for use. On an exhibition area of ​​around 250 square meters, exhibits from the company's own inventory as well as items on loan from Upper Austria. State museums and private lenders are presented in a contemporary form.

On October 16, 2010, the Heimathaus-Stadtmuseum Perg was reopened after extensive renovation and expansion. A completely redesigned wing stands in striking contrast to the part of the building that was previously used as a museum.

Mediation

By setting priorities, local and regional topics were presented in an interesting way:

The Heimatverein manages an extensive library, partly from its own acquisition and partly from the holdings of the former district teachers' library. Numerous films and photos are in the archive, as is a house chronicle.

In 2014 the museum received the museum seal of approval , which is currently valid until 2019.
