A / OOE: St. Pantaleon: Topothek launched

In the Innviertel region of Upper Austria, the municipality of St. Pantaleon hosted the opening of its online archive, Topotheque, in the town hall on November 7th. Mayor David Valentin and the archive‘s curators welcomed a large and interested audience. The archive already boasts over three thousand entries – including gems like this photograph from 1960, depicting various everyday objects from that era – some of which are no longer in use. You can see just how practical washing powder boxes were! And from boxes to boxing: would you have guessed that this community has produced several national, European, and even world champions in their respective sports? This list of examples could go on almost indefinitely – enjoy this journey through the history of St. Pantaleon!
