Görwihl local history museum
The Görwihl Local History Museum is a local history museum in Görwihl in the Waldshut district . The facilities, tools, furniture and traditional costumes of the people living in the forest are shown .
After consultations and preliminary talks, the Hotzenhaus Görwihl Friends' Association was founded on April 26th, 1975 with the intention of turning a dilapidated Hotzenhaus into a museum. The main founders are Alfred Frei, Paul Eisenbeis, Günther Romaker and Bruno Feige. However, the Hotzenhaus projected for this purpose was reused in an open-air museum in 1979/80 , today's Klausenhof open-air museum , so that one had to be content with a first exhibition room in a former shop in Görwihl. After this house was also demolished, the building of the former trade school on the market square could be moved into as part of the village renovation in 1986. Gustav Oberholzer from the Deutsches Museum in Munich helped with the reconstruction of a saltpeter boiler .
The other floors could be equipped with a historical classroom of a village school , a replica and functioning hand loom and a trimmings loom from Rünenberg , as it was once used in the house weaving mill on the Hotzenwald and in Switzerland. Furthermore, there are showcases with figures, decorated with the Hotzenwald costume and models for iron smelting in the ironworks in Albtal and the ironworks Hausen in Hausen in Wiesental . After extensive renovation work, the museum was reopened on May 20, 2001. The museum is run on a voluntary basis and is closed in the winter months.
