Texture from hochwaldmuseum.de 10/2011:
Conceptional idea and realization
The compressed idea of the museum - representing the life and work of the Hochwald-people in the broadest sense finds its expression in the logo of the museum: We open windows to the history of the Hochwald, and so we work exemplarily. References to regional or supraregional museums are excellent recognizable for the visitor.
The visitors experiences begin with a tour through the ground floor of the building 1 by different media in a various way, by the story of the early traces of human life up to a usable photograph album of the city of Hermeskeil. The visitor receives visual and acoustic information over the exhibits and the historical connections - always under the motto: We open windows to the past. Built-in small doors which the guest can open himself convey detail information. This historical tour is illustrated particularly by a fictitious dig scene and a threesome conversation about "God and the world" between a roman, a monk from the time at 800 and a boy from our days.
The visitor receives an insight into the living relationships of our ancestors at 1900 in the first storey.
A grandma leads her granddaughter in the “Hermeskeiler” dialect here by the kitchen, the “good room”, and into the bedroom and knows genuine answers to the many questions – starting with own experience up to the hearsay of her parents and grandparents. The conversation may be requested at a hearing box. The visitor is invited to a historical school room at the same level, which is also used as a modern "Hochwald cinema". Eight different sequences are ready for call, topics which deepen single aspects of the history by picture and sound. For example: "Stories of school history".
The guest can pursue the production of linen, the complete presentation of processing of flax up to weaving garments from the time of our ancestors, at a loom from the year 1800 at the upper floor. A special esthetic moment is a blossoming flax field at which the fairytale "The flax" of Andersen is printed as a supply.
The basement of the building II is dedicated to the production: Village skilled crafts, farming, nail smithy and printery. Also here different topics can be retrieved - in picture and sound by beamer - about the rural world of the Hochwald. Rural small equipment of the weekday can be seen at a large turning module, organized after seasons. A nail smithy, able to work, completes the presentation.
Three topics are introduced selectively in the upper floor: Milk processing, wash and house slaughters. Marvelous front doors all around - the oldest one dated from the year 1740 - form a very special ambiance. |
