Discover 400 years of industrial history: Welcome to the Blaahaus!

Kiefersfelden is in the beautiful Inn Valley, at the bottom of the Wilder Kaiser mountain. Today, Kiefersfelden is a popular health resort, but it used to be an important industrial centre. The industrial history of this area goes back over 400 years. It started with the smelting of ore, then the production of scythes, marble processing and cement. The town's rich history has had a big impact on the townscape, the people and their culture.

In the Blaahaus, you can learn about the history of Kiefersfelden. It used to be a farming village, but it has since become an important place for industry in the region.

The Blaahaus is not just a museum, but a place where you can experience history. The Blaahaus has lots of interactive and media units, historical documents and almost 250 exciting artefacts. This makes history feel real.

In the museum, you can also learn about five historical figures, each of them representing a type of industry and its history: For example, there is Franz Haidacher, who worked in an ironworks, and Traudl Kuen, who worked in a cement factory. The famous theatre author Josef Georg Schmalz will tell you about his life as a charcoal burner and writer.

Come and visit us - we can't wait to see you!
