Exhibitions in the Ostrach Museum of Local History
Peat
Peat was once mined in today's Pfrunger-Burgweiler reed as the basis for survival. The new permanent exhibition in the Ostrach Amtshaus is dedicated to this topic. Three thematic blocks show the development of the reed, industrial peat cutting by Robert Bosch and the reed today. Various exhibits such as the tusks of a mammoth are on display. An original lorry is displayed next to the building.
Robber captain "Schwarz Vere
Breaking down legends and exposing clichés: Gerhard Fetscher, director of the local history museum in Ostrach, wants to use a new section on the Schwarz Vere to shed light on the actual existence of the robber captain. Old records, court files and above all the book "Die letzten Räuberbanden in Oberschwaben" by Max Planck served as a basis for the Ostrach local history expert.
