Discovering the History of Traunstein: Heimathaus Opens Its Treasures During Advent
A visit to the City Museum Heimathaus Traunstein takes you right to the historical heart of the town. Between Brothausturm and Zieglerwirtshaus, an art experience unfolds that makes city history, everyday culture, and craftsmanship tangible in dense spaces. Families will find interactive offerings, collectors' glimpses at rare objects, while a accompanying brochure deepens the analysis of the works.
Brothausturm and Zieglerwirtshaus: Architecture as a Narrative Space
The Brothausturm and the Zieglerwirtshaus shape the town square and form the atmospheric stage for the exhibition. Inn-Salzach architecture, firewalls, and arcades create a unique exhibition atmosphere: Light, stone, and wood frame the exhibits and sharpen the perception of forms, proportions, and spatial effects.
Collection Focus: Salt Works, Crafts, Visual Arts
The curation spans from prehistory and early history through the Baroque to the bourgeois 19th century. Focus areas include the history of salt, crafts, trade and commerce, as well as paintings and sacred art from the Chiemgau region. Town models, portraits, and objects of folk belief coalesce into an aesthetic experience that vividly illustrates historical contexts.
For the Curious and Families: Participate, Discover, Understand
Supporting materials aid independent exploration. Children's activities invite experimentation, while seating areas allow for focused viewing of the works. Thus, the exhibition connects education, cultural mediation, and sensory impressions.
Jubilee and Special Themes
Complementing presentations shed light on the building's history and showcase selected collection objects. The narrative staging relies on clear sightlines, coherent lighting, and material-conscious presentation—museum education you can touch.
Conclusion: Those who wish to experience city history vividly will find a multifaceted panorama of art, everyday culture, and architecture here. Plan time for the richly detailed departments and visit the exhibition on site—the dense atmosphere of the ensemble can only be fully grasped live.
