A / K: Gallizien: Topotheque online

From the village of Gallizien, these mountain hikers have already passed the landmark of the place, the Wildensteiner waterfalls, on the Oberobir. They are considered the highest free-falling waterfalls in Europe and are of course already represented in historical illustrations in the new Topotheque of the municipality of Gallizien. If you put these in a chronological order, for example by arranging the Topotheque to „Age: Oldest“, the development of the aesthetics of a photo can be understood: the shooting angles and contrasts reflect the spirit of the times just as much as the clothing of the mountain hikers on our cover photo . The tie had to be included as a useful utensil in 1922! The fact that it does not show a point at the bottom, but ends horizontally, may indicate the sporty touch. Hannwarte and Schutzhaus can also be found on the first pictures of this Topotheque. The image of a pageant also comes from the time when the mail order companies were gaining momentum, which raises the question for those who are not familiar with the area whether the “dirndls” are still genuine, local costumes or represent everyday costumes that have already been purchased via the order card and postal delivery. To stay with the clothing story, the shoes of the Draubau management are also remarkable. Today they would no longer be accepted as work shoes. Was it the normal work shoes that you also wore for field work or were they intended for special tasks?
