Schwarzach local history museum
The Schwarzach local history museum (also called Heimathaus or Denkmalhof Linzenberg or Hermann-Dür-Haus) is located in the Linzenberg district (HNr. 129) in the community of Schwarzach in the Vorarlberg district of Bregenz . The house is a listed building.
History and ownership
The listed Rheintalhaus from the middle of the 19th century should, according to the wishes of the then owner, Hermann Dür (1901 - 14.11.1982), originally the then mayor of Schwarzach, Helmut Leite , together with the associated 86 ares of soil, 78 ares of forest and Alpine rights are inherited in the Bregenzerwald . However, this waived in favor of the community of Schwarzach. The house was therefore bequeathed by Hermann Dür to the community of Schwarzach in 1982.
The idea of setting up a local history museum in it was brought up by the head of the building authority at the time, Josef Erath. It was converted into a local museum from 1986 under the direction of the then mayor , Helmut Leite, in close cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office , as this building is historically significant for the communities of Schwarzach and could be thematically merged with the concept of a local museum.
Architecture, equipment and location
This largely typical Rhine Valley house from the 18th century is 539 m above sea level. A. The house is located directly on the old road connection from Schwarzach to Alberschwende , an important connection before Schwarzachtobelstraße (L 7) was opened in 1837.
In the area of the residential wing, it is a two-storey, wood-shingled, white-painted wooden building with two storeys and an extended gable . The rear part ( barn ) is planked vertically with natural wood . Overall about 20 m long, 11 m wide and 9 m high.
With the support of the Federal Monuments Office and the state of Vorarlberg, the house was dismantled, restored and supplemented for 120,000 EURO.
museum
The local history museum in Schwarzach was opened in June 1991 and shows the historical development of the place ( local history ) and the economic development and focus on the basis of selected exhibits , pictures / photos and documents . The museum concept comes from Paul Rachbauer from the Vorarlberger Landesmuseum . In the sense of a monument courtyard, it should serve exhibition, documentation and communication purposes at the same time.
In addition to the rooms, some of which are originally furnished, the museum also houses a collection of folklore objects, in particular historical farming tools, a schnapps distillery and a cider press . The special character of the local museum is the formative for in earlier times of Schwarzach industry of Wetzsteinherstellung or Wetzsteinschleiferei formed at a special exhibition (Schlifar Museum) (see also: Wetzsteinerzeugung in Schwarzach Tobel .).
The main aim of the Heimatmuseum is to convey the strong and original liveliness of village life and the dynamic economic development.

Haymaker's crockery workshop
The production of hay dishes was an additional acquisition for farmers and is originally set up near the tiled stove, so that this workshop could also be used in winter. The hay dishes made in the region were sold all the way to Switzerland .
Schlifar Museum in the Heimathaus
The Schlifar Museum in the Heimathaus recalls the centuries of whetstone production in Schwarzach. The word "Schlifar" comes from "to grind" and refers to the production of the whetstones, which were ground to their typical final shape with quartz sand . A model by Elmar Dobler ( Blons ) using a sharpening compass for whetstone production shows how this shaping was carried out efficiently.
The Wetzstein-Hansel ("guys") above the village fountain in the center of Schwarzach is also reminiscent of the "Schlifar" (grinders).
Room
Smaller events can be held in the originally preserved room of the museum. As was customary at the time, the ceilings of the storeys were designed to be quite low.
Barn
In the barn there are larger exhibits of rural utensils and machines, such as horns , tractors , stationary engines , plows, etc.
