Heimatmuseum Furstenburger Hog, by Maria Fahlin
Zell a. H.-Germany, Europe Tour November 15th, 2007We had the amazing opportunity to visit HFH in Zell am Hammersbach. It was a wonderful experience and I am so happy to be able to share it with you all!!
Beofre I tell someone details about our experience, I will give you information about the museum. The museum is a house situated in the middle of the valley Unterharmersbach, and has been lived by the “Furstenbergen” between 1660~1997. The Furstenbergen is the family who’s been living and cherishing the traditions of farming for 350 years.
One of the cool accessories on the house was the windows. The house has 112 windows which has a special construction so that you can open them in th middle part and is able to let in hat from outside. The rood is made by grass straws and the walls and all the furnitures are made by wood from th Black forest (Schwarzwald).
We arrived to the museum at 13:00 and a few minutes after our arrival we got split into smaller groups for our guided tour.
Our tour was very interesting, thy showd us their old equipments and told stories about living in the area during the old times
I feel privileged to be able to be apart of Cast B 2007, and I can’t believe all the amazing adventure and opportunities we are able to experience. This museum really brought me back to my roots, since I have family and friends at home who still keeps th old traditions and tries to teach the new generation about their way of living.
I have a wonderful experience; it made me think of my life at home in Sweden and how we all should try to find our roots and traditions to apply the wisdom in our lifetime. We are all here to learn from each other; all the time to get to know someone!
Share your cultural experience and open up the yes of someone, one person at a time. We can make a difference…
