Stadtmuseum Traiskirchen

The Traiskirchen City Museum is a regional museum in the Lower Austrian town of Traiskirchen that has been in existence since 1988 and is essentially based on volunteer work. It is primarily dedicated to the living environments of the first half of the 20th century. It shows on more than 3000 m² area in the listed former premises of the Möllersdorf factory of the Vöslauer Kammgarnfabrik display objects from viticulture, agriculture, trade and commerce, industry, fire department, club and school system. With this size and 35 rooms, it is the largest museum of local history in Lower Austria.

Faithfully recreated stores, including a bakery, cobbler, grocer's, carpenter's, photographer, hairdresser, tailor, engraver, watchmaker and tobacconist's, give a vivid impression of living conditions before the last mid-century.

Other parts of the museum are a radio and phono collection, a classic car show, a collection of police and gendarmerie caps from all over the world. A showroom is dedicated to the Traiskirchen-born scientist University Professor Otto Vogl. Numerous exhibits are dedicated to the history of the Badner Bahn. The fire department museum focuses on fire fighting from antiquity to the turn of the last millennium.

Since April 2005 there is a permanent exhibition Matador Museum with 70 movable models. About 100 years ago, Johann Korbuly from Vienna invented this toy for his sons and founded the factory nearby, where the matador was produced industrially.

A special exhibition was also dedicated to the anchor stone building set.

The museum is open on Tuesdays and Sundays.
