Zehentstadel Heroldingen
The Zehentstadel Heroldingen is a former barn in Heroldingen , a district of the city of Harburg in the administrative district of Swabia , which was used to receive and store the tithe tax in kind .
description
In the center of Heroldingen (city of Harburg, Swabia) the imposing Zehentstadel (or Zehntstadel) with its mighty hipped roof is striking. The nun roof tiles correspond to those of the Nördlingen city wall. The defiant building owes its good structural condition above all to the Rieser Bauernmuseum association, which completely renovated it in 1978. The Zehntstadel was the first successfully completed project of the association, which was founded five years earlier and is based in Maihingen, in which the task was to restore a historically significant monument on site in order to equip it with agricultural implements and machines from our ancestors. Thus the building is used as a farming museum.
history
In 1688 and 1722 major repairs were made to the previous building, which had existed at least since the beginning of the Thirty Years War . At the end of May 1739, the dilapidated, probably 120-year-old building was torn down. The Zehentstadel that exists today was built on August 31, 1739. After the tithe was replaced in 1848, Prince Karl von Oettingen-Wallerstein sold the barn to private individuals on April 23, 1861. After further sales and inheritance, from May 7, 1975 the Rieser Bauernmuseum association was the owner of the decrepit Heroldinger Zehentstadel. On July 31, 1978, the extensive restoration work was completed in cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, so that on September 24, 1978 a large inauguration ceremony could be celebrated with the then Bavarian State Minister Anton Jaumann as patron. On October 1, 1989, the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Zehentstadel took place, the 275th anniversary was celebrated on the day of the open monument in a dignified setting on September 14, 2014.
Use as a museum
Inside the building is u. v. a. a binding mower from 1937, a barely used wooden harrow and a pen threshing machine owned by former Heroldingen farmers. The Lanz Bulldog from 1921, which the formerly independent municipality of Heroldingen used to break stones in the nearby gravel pit, should be the main attraction. At the festivities mentioned, a former Heroldinger farmer who was only a year younger put it into operation to great applause. The Rieser Bauernmuseums- und Mühlenverein eV, as the Rieser Bauernmuseum association is called after the merger with the Rieser Mühlenverein, endeavors to maintain the building, sometimes at great expense. The gate wings of the Zehentstadel should be opened to those interested at least once a year. But outside of the row, a look inside is possible by arrangement.
