Museum and culture association Kaisersteinbruch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Museum and Culture Association Kaisersteinbruch was founded on May 20, 1990 in Kaisersteinbruch , cadastral municipality of the large municipality of Bruckneudorf in the Neusiedl am See district , Burgenland . As a result of the events of World War II , the evacuation of the population, the establishment of the Stalag XVIIA prisoner of war camp and the subsequent Soviet occupation, there was almost no cultural heritage in Kaisersteinbruch . Much had been destroyed, looted or sold. This new association wanted to try in cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office of Burgenland, State Conservator Franz Bunzl, to find individual solutions and either to renew, restore or bring back lost cultural assets to Kaisersteinbruch.

The first writings on the subject of the Kaisersteinbruch were borrowed from the National Library in 1975 . The source from which the authors mostly drew was the archive of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey . The director of the war archive, Christoph Tepperberg , put the archivist Father Hermann Watzl in touch . This resulted in a number of selected insights into an "unbelievable" story; The teacher Helmuth Furch summarized these in a short chronicle. On this, P. Hermann, " ... when this work is published, it will only begin ... "

International artist symposium stone sculpture Kaisersteinbruch and European symposium

As part of the 400th anniversary celebration in 1990, the association organized a symposium for stone carving to revive the emperor's stone for the first time . By 1997, in particular the stone altars of the church of the church were restored, as well as buildings in the public space, e.g. B. the sundial pillar, the baroque cemetery portal, etc. rebuilt or restored.

After the approval of the stay by the Romanian embassy, ​​Alexandru made a stone scroll with the text:

"THE CITIZENS OF KAISERSTEINBRUCH PLANTED THIS TREE IN THE JUBILEE YEAR 1990. LET'S KEEP
HIM AND US A LIVABLE ENVIRONMENT."

- Inscription of the scroll

In January 1998, the association decided to build a stone fountain along an ancient stone wall of the former rectory on the centrally located church square. The eighth Kaisersteinbruch Symposium expanded into the first European Symposium Kaisersteinbruch . After 27 national panels, the 2007 Europe Symposium ended with Russia . The change of chairman also brought about a change in the club's goals.

The name Kaisersteinbruch is lost

Due to the amalgamation of the municipalities with Bruckneudorf, the place name "Kaisersteinbruch" is lost on all maps and no longer exists.

  • In October 1996, the association's board decided to include it in “Reisen in Österreich”, published by Bohmann-Verlag for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland: Steinmetzmuseum Kaisersteinbruch . That means a big investment , but it is the only way to let the name Kaisersteinbruch appear - via this detour.
  • In May 2007 a project was announced in the press release: “We want to lease the former rectory, Haus Kaisersteinbruch !” At that time, this name was first recorded in writing. The new board of directors was able to purchase the building and the land from the Diocese of Eisenstadt , and the Haus Kaisersteinbruch cultural center was created.

Rose days in Kaisersteinbruch

From June 14th to 16th, 2001, the grassy area around the European Fountain was redesigned into the baroque rose garden " Stein und Rose ". The organization Historical Monuments - Austria's Gardens (based in Felling Castle ) sponsored the creation of the garden, as a first step donated 40 sticks of historical English roses , which were planted on March 24, 2001. The museum association owes this to the vice-president and rose breeder Count Johann Lorentz Gudenus . Furthermore, the aim was to take the first step towards a garden road along the Leithagebirge between Bruck and Eisenstadt.

Two standard roses were given the names Anni Furch and Hilda Burits by Mr. Gudenus , they had taken on responsibility for the rose garden, with a variety of care, and Fritz Koresch soon became a permanent employee.

The Kaisersteinbrucher Rose Days take place annually.

  • Steps of the Hofburg to the vaulted cellar

  • The "Georg Zsalacz-Stiege" 2003

  • Fritz Koresch cleans the steps

  • Sign board

  • Cellar stairs from 1669

On March 14, 2003 the Sphingen-Stiege was to be opened in the Palais Archduke Albrecht in Vienna . These shiny marble slabs of the Kaiserstein steps were used to clad the concrete stairs chosen for structural reasons. Due to a request from the Burghauptmannschaft in Vienna, the stairway exit was planned for the exit into the formerly stately vaulted cellar from 1669 on the Kaisersteinbruch church square. The stonemason company Friedrich Opferkuh from Mannersdorf took over the transport, Georg Zsalacz moved the steps.

  • Rose garden with the flagged Europe wall and the stairway

  • Cultural center Haus Kaisersteinbruch

Kaisersteinbrucher concerts

After 18 years of association, which were mainly dedicated to the topic of stone, a change of topic was also possible because István Bonyhádi, pianist and teacher at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna , and his family had settled in Kaisersteinbruch in 2004, where he is now is the artistic director of the "Kaisersteinbrucher Concerts".
