Office in the former rectory
In a report from the year 1704 by the then pastor Hörandt it can be seen that two years earlier, at the beginning of March, most of his parsonage had collapsed. Obviously, it was a wooden building that housed the living rooms and stables.
Building bills from 1702 state: The parsonage was built with bricks “up to half a man, for more insurance, so that the wood does not rot”.
- In 1826 the parsonage was built entirely in stone and the kitchen was vaulted
- In 1867 the parish buildings were fitted with lightning rods
- In 1920 acetylene lighting was installed in the rectory
- In 1953/54 the rectory was overhauled, which was followed by a thorough interior renovation in 1967
- In 1996 the last pastor Ostner of the economic rectory died
- In 2004 the area was taken over by the Bavarian Costume Association on a long lease
- Renovation work was carried out in the rectory between 2005 and 2008, with around 7500 hours of personal work being done
Depot / archive
The depot is the conservation area for the exhibits that can be viewed in the Museum of Traditional Costume Culture. The cooperation between the depot and the museum is an elementary component for optimal and constructive museum work. The depot was built in order to preserve and document important cultural assets as well as the entire working and functioning of the traditional costume association with its 22 district associations and the over 800 affiliated traditional costume associations inside and outside Bavaria. This not only includes the variety of Bavarian costumes, which are to be kept here for future generations according to conservation criteria. Flags with accessories, documents from the associations and clubs, traditional costume newspapers and traditional costume calendars as well as press reports and dance descriptions, sheet music, songs and amateur plays are optimally stored here.
The barn from 1725 at the east end was demolished in 1851 because of its poor state of construction and a new barn with a shed was built instead.
After the local parish agreed in consultation with the Bavarian Trachtenverband to build a parish hall in the basement of the new depot instead of the old coach house, demolition of the building began in January 2008. By August, the excavation and concrete work had been completed, so that the glue trusses could be erected by one company.
On September 2, 2008, the personal work began, which was interrupted on November 20 due to the beginning of the cold season. The depot building was finished so far, only the plastering of the drywall could not be done until the following year. With over 4000 hours of personal work on and in the building, the interior design could then begin in 2010.
The depot started its work in 2011. It now includes around 70,000 exhibits.
storage
Originally, a high-bay warehouse based on the model of the farmhouse museum in Massing was planned. Since 2010 the depot of the traditional costume culture museum has been furnished with two air-conditioned rooms and, thanks to funding from the State Office for Non-State Museums in Bavaria, with special archive furniture. Windows were also dispensed with in the archive rooms in order to avoid unnecessary UV radiation. Thus, an optimal possibility for a proper and professional storage of the exhibits was created.
Youth Education House
In the former parish stable of the Holzhauser Pfarrökonomie, the youth education center of the Bavarian costume youth has been built since 2005. In the future it will offer space for up to 60 overnight guests on two floors. On the first floor, the house offers double rooms with attached wet rooms for use in smaller seminars. The top floor was expanded to resemble a youth hostel. Up to 36 young people can stay there with their supervisors in several single and multi-bed rooms. The ground floor is equipped with two seminar rooms and a large dining room. The kitchen for the self-catering house is located in a separate extension and can be used independently by the guests.
Building history
- Repairs to the stable were probably carried out in 1725
- In 1783, after the death of Pastor Horlacher, further measures were taken by his successor Simon König at the stable. Around 1825 the stables were only "half-walled".
- In 1859 the boarded stable was completely vaulted
- In 1896/97 the stables were extended to the east
- In 1907 the western part of the stable building was brought to the same height as the eastern part in 1896/97 and given a new roof structure
- In 2005 a start was made to remove the interior plaster as much as possible so that the walls could dry out better
- In 2011 the underpinning of the masonry began. The floor slab was installed after the necessary supply and disposal lines had been laid. After the partition walls in the sanitary and utility area had been installed, the upper area could also be cleared, the Rossknechtkammerl demolished and the wooden floor removed.
Augustiner Stadl
The oldest surviving parts of the building can be found at the event hall - in 1725 the new construction of a barn is documented with plans and building calculations. The building was largely built as a half-timbered building and covered with thatch. In 1851, under the pastor Ott, a new grain barn with a coach house was built in place of the former ox and sheep barn. In this 45 m long building, old components, including the brick arched doorways, were built into it.
When it was taken over by the Bavarian Trachtenverband in 2004, the barn was in very poor condition: the roof was leaky and partially collapsed. Elderberry bushes grew inside the barn. The roof was temporarily sealed with an emergency safety measure. The expansion of the barn began in 2009: the building was built in-house, the walling and the extension of the building, the formwork and on-roof insulation were installed and the roof was covered. The outer walls were underpinned by specialist companies and the floor slab was concreted.
