100 years ago the Austrian Monument Protection Act was passed by the National Council. Heritage Day on Sunday, September 24th is a highlight of this anniversary year. On this day, the diversity and diversity of Austria’s cultural heritage will once again be presented together with the monument owners.
Monuments that are visible from afar as well as hidden and rather unknown monuments are presented. Old craft techniques and the people behind them are also shown.
- Steyr: Jewish cemetery The otherwise closed Jewish cemetery can be visited from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The entrance is on Taborweg, between Schnallentor and Taborrestaurant. Tours are offered at 2:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. 141 adults, 50 children and 100 victims of the death march of Hungarian Jews in April 1945 are buried in the cemetery.
- Steyr: Tunnel of memory The tunnel can be visited on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors are advised to dress warmly. The temperature in the tunnel is only between eight and twelve degrees. The entrance can be found at Zwischenbrücken. The exhibition in the 140 meter long tunnel under Lamberg Castle, which had to be dug by concentration camp prisoners, deals, among other things, with the topic of forced labor. A visit is recommended for ages 14 and up.
- Hospital: Lindermayrschmiede The Lindermayrschmiede has been family-owned since 1827. The last blacksmith, Willi Lindermayr, still shod horses here until 1962. The exhibition on the upper floor includes forestry and agricultural equipment as well as the farrier’s work. Freehand forging has been part of Austria’s intangible cultural heritage since last year.
- Losenstein: castle ruins For more than 500 years, life flourished within the walls of one of the oldest castle complexes in Upper Austria. Built around 1000 years ago, Losenstein Castle was finally abandoned around 1418 and has since been managed by the hereditary castles of Losensteinleithen and Gschwendt in Neuhofen. On Monument Day, breakfast drinks, guided tours and Michaelmas Mass await visitors.
- Waidhofen: About the life of the old houses In October 2022, the architecture and housing researcher Julia Lindenthal and the visual artist Susi Jirkuff started the documentation project “On the life of the old houses” in the historic city center of Waidhofen an der Ybbs. Voices from homeowners were collected, each describing their relationship to their house. Using the collected stories and images, a biography of the houses is made visible. This unusual insight will be presented to the public in the listed Kropf House on the Upper Town Square from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
