Historical corrugated iron barrack: Lindlar receives unique museum treasures

Neunkirchen, Deutschland - An exciting expansion awaits the LVR open-air museum Lindlar, because soon a historic corrugated sheet metal barrier will find its place in the exhibitions. This barrack, which is 130 years old, is a listed building and represents an important piece of German everyday history. How "https://www.ksta.de/region/oberberg/lindlar/rostiges-blech-krein-smuseum-lindlar-erhaelt-eine-130-Alte-baracke-1039611" Class = "Source_1"> Ksta.de reported, she was previously in Neunkirchen/Siegerland and was dismantled by the museum and its support association. Your reconstruction should take place near a wooden barrack of the Reich Labor Service, and the building permit is expected for this year.

The corrugated iron barrack, which thematically dealt with the First World War and its effects on rural life, was manufactured in Kielbogen shape by the carrier corrugated sheet factory L. Bernhard & Co. in Berlin and already won a competition of the Prussian army management for serial production in 1887. These transportable barracks were installed in different lengths and were used until the end of the war as emergency accommodation and on military training areas.

a piece of lively story

The characteristic barrack has a length of 31.50 meters, a width of 5.40 meters and a height of 3.70 meters. It consists of 62 wall segments, each around five meters long and 1.15 meters wide. During the war, the barracks ensured an important hygienic standard by serving to minimize sick leave in the army. Although the barrack has changed over the years - after the war it was used by "Fischerwerk" as a camp - a strong state is sought in the museum, for which extensive repairs are necessary.

With this expansion, which still gives an insight into everyday history of past times, the LVR open-air museum Lindlar is enriched with an attraction. The museum, which has been offering numerous exhibitions since its opening in 1998, offers the opportunity to explore rural everyday life in the Bergisches Land on 30 hectares. As wikipedia , the museum pursues various developmental and environmental goals and also strengthens the everyday skills of visitors.

A visit is worth it!

The ideal time for a visit to the museum is now, especially before the holiday season begins. Open-air museums offer unique insights into history and old construction methods, and the LVR open-air museum is no exception. In addition, most open -air museums are open from April to October, which makes summer at the best time to use the offer. In the Lindlar open -air museum, visitors can not only admire the new exhibitions, but also take part in interactive craft courses that enable an even deeper insight into past lifesties.

In the colorful range of exhibitions, such as the Hofgut "To Eigen" or the village school from Waldbröl-Hermesdorf, every visit becomes an experience. There are a variety of historical buildings that show the development of rural life to the present day and are therefore of great cultural value for the local population. The challenge of putting the barrack back into its original state shows the commitment of the museum for the preservation of regional history and culture.

So if you want to experience a piece of history, the LVR open-air museum Lindlar is warmly recommended. With an admission price of 7 euros for adults and varied events, it not only offers education, but also leisure fun for the entire family.
