Life

Andrinet House (2013)

Andrinet grew up on his grandparents' small farm in vacation for the first three years. She also had an older sister. Her mother was the single maid Anna Maria Halder. Since the marriage of her uncle, the vacationer carpenter Jakob Andrinet, had initially remained childless, they adopted the niece as a child. After seven years, Jakob Andrinet's desire to have children came true. At the age of twelve Adrinet began to work as a shepherd and nanny for holiday farmers. At the age of sixteen she got her first job as a maid outside of vacation in the neighboring villages. When her mother became seriously ill in 1927, she helped with the care until she died in 1930. Around this time her stepfather Franz Joseph Halder, whom she also looked after, also fell ill. From 1931 she took up residence again in House Andrinet and in 1935, when Halder died, his farmhouse, later called House Andrinet.

The house, which was built by linen weavers around 1740 as a flat roof courtyard, had been used a number of times in 1935 and served the residents purely as a residential building. At the time of construction, the roof was covered with wooden shingles and the wooden plank walls and the half-timbering were not plastered.

In the rest of her life, Andrinet worked from 1942 to 1945 as a kitchen assistant in the Urlau ammunition plant and after the war as a harvest and day laborer. Due to the precarious occupations, it was not possible for her to equip the house and the surrounding houses with electric light, running water and sanitary facilities. In 1983 she inherited a financial fortune from her cousin Viktoria Andrinet. With this money she was able to move to a nearby old people's home . Her house gradually fell into disrepair until it was moved to Wolfegg in 2004, after the local museum had acquired it in 1996. Andrinet died in 1999.
