Miniature Tirolerland
Thumbnail Tyrolean is the name of a miniature world in the form of a model landscape in the 5th Viennese district Margareten , close to the Naschmarkt .
Emergence
The idea for a large miniature world with show effects goes back to the initiator Wolfgang Pröhl in 1996. At the end of 2010, premises in Vienna-Margareten were rented. A team of volunteers then set up the “Miniatur Tirolerland” in a total of 13,500 hours.
A team led by initiator Wolfgang Pröhl worked on this project for five years, and the opening took place on November 11, 2016. In advance, around 2,500 visitors visited the leisure attraction in the center of Vienna on a few visitor days. After three weeks, on Saturday, December 2, 2016, the 5,000. Visitors are counted. At the end of February 2017 - after only three and a half months of operation - the 20,000th visitor could already be counted.
construction
The 124 square meter model landscape on a scale of 1:87 ( nominal size H0 ) is divided into several parts. The center is the “capital” of Vienna. There are also four other villages, including the winter village of Filzbühel. A fantasy landscape was created, which thematically could be in Tyrol . In it the visitor will find numerous exact replicas of buildings from the real Tyrol, including the " Golden Roof ", the Ottoburg , many houses from Rattenberg and Kitzbühel , the Hahnenkammbahn , the sunken church tower in Lake Reschensee or the train station in Flirsch am Arlberg . Elements with a show effect are the “Tirolerländer Bergkirtag” or the Radio Wien-Open Air in the wintry Filzbühel. At the beginning of the new season on November 17, 2017, the original Bergisel ski jump in Innsbruck was presented to the public as part of the "Mösern" village.
A day in the Miniatur Tirolerland has 24 minutes with day and night control with a realistic twilight phase . A total of 28,000 figures and just as many lights ( LEDs ) were used in addition to a total of around 5,500 trees and bushes. Dozens of trains and self-driving cars were installed as moving elements on over 2,000 meters of rails and 200 meters of road.
