Heimatstube - from the dragon saga to the spinning room

Building / plot situation

The three lovingly furnished exhibition rooms are located in the community cultural centre of the municipality of Drachhausen, a former inn.

Characteristics

The small facility houses exhibits on the life of the rural population, especially on the tradition of flax processing from the area around Drachhausen.
"Kólasko" means "spinning wheel" in German. This is one of the tools used to make linen. In the old days, the women of the village met in the "spinte" to work together on the spinning wheel. Many a story was also "spun" on these wintry evenings. The legend of the dragon that lived in the area was always at the centre of the village history.

  • Annual participation in the Museum Night of the Spree-Neiße district

Offers for children - With Kobi to the museum

Kobi - the little house ghost - is at home in the museum. He lives there in a slipper under the stove. At midnight, he eavesdrops on the old museum pieces when they tell stories about the past. He tells these exciting stories to the museum staff, who then pass them on to the children - stories from the old, old days.
