A / OOE: Haibach ob der Donau: Topotheque online

The Danube and the massive homesteads have long characterized this country. Anyone interested in pictures of these unique building forms will find what they are looking for in this new Topotheque. In the comments to the pictures you can find details worth knowing about the house names and the resident families, such as here in Mannsdorf, Haus Piringer or „Bumberger“. They proudly present themselves in their Sunday clothes, but the youngsters are barefoot, the horse. For the studies of life in the lonely courtyard, which is arduous by today‘s standards, there are numerous documents here, which also include wonderful examples of everyday clothing and work clothing. In this topotheque, we often come across the expression „before the Danube was dammed up“ – an indication that some things had to change painfully with the construction of the power plant near Aschach. With the search term „Donau“ you can see a number of properties on the right bank of the Danube.
