In the organizer's words:
Plieningen and Birkach local history museum
Stories from two districts, told in an old tithe barn
In the historic Zehntscheuer, the local history museum brings the history of the Stuttgart districts of Plieningen and Birkach to life. The exhibition takes visitors through six rooms that show typical living environments of the region and convey an authentic picture of everyday life in earlier times.
In the fields and in the barn, everything revolves around agriculture. The famous Filderkraut played a particularly important role here and made Plieningen famous far beyond the region. The workshop tells of the often arduous working life. The focus is on the historic Schad cap-making workshop, which makes the old craft tangible.
In the many taverns in the area, people used to celebrate, discuss and live. The museum recreates this atmosphere. Students from Hohenheim appear, as do traditional clubs that still shape village life today. In the town hall, visitors can delve into documents, for example on the history of incorporation. The kitchen displays historical equipment and forgotten recipes and invites visitors to take a look at former eating habits.
Finally, a window into the so-called vertical village of Asemwald shows how the districts have changed in the twentieth century. The three striking high-rise buildings still characterize the image of southern Stuttgart today.
The museum is closed on all public holidays as well as on December 24 and December 31.
