History of the river building barons

A building is drawn at this point on a map of Bavaria by Philipp Apian from 1560. The first mention of the “Electoral Bruckbaustadels” dates from 1662.

From 1938 to 1982 the building was no longer used for road construction, but for hydraulic and river engineering; since then the building has been called the "Flußmeister- or Flußbaustadel". The conversion to the museum building began in 1984, the opening by Minister of State Franz Neubauer took place on April 21, 1986. The building houses the "Hydraulic Engineering and Shipping Technology Collection" founded in 1949 by main river master Franz Thaler.

The museum offers a tour through the many stations of the Inn, including the history, the mineral resources and finds from the Inn as well as pictures of typical buildings along the river. Various hydraulic engineering methods are also shown, including the work of Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking . The museum also deals with trades, especially the shipbuilding profession (also known as “ Schopper ”). The exact procedure for building a ship with the required materials and tools is described in a separate “Schopperstadl”.

One room houses a complete ship, an original Plätte which served as so-called "Kuchelschiff" in a Schiffzug. Various details about the transport of goods on the Inn and the later steam navigation on the Inn are explained using models and historical recordings.

After explanations of the earlier rafting , old legends about boaters and their patron saints are told and illustrated with the help of original votive tablets. The museum is open from April 1st to October 31st.
