Historical Account


Professor Alois Niederstetter wrote an historical essay for the Bregenzerwald Workshop brochure. This is divided into different chapters.
  • Dial 1 for information about how the Bregenzerwald was settled.
  • Dial 2 for the chapter about the economy, innovation and immigration.

  • Dial 3 for information about the Au Guild

  • Dial 4 to hear about the most famous of the baroque master builders, although it must be said that a number of master builders that were also responsible for the success of the region stayed in the background.

  • Dial 5 for information about the guild organisation in those days

  • And dial 6 for an account of seasonal migration in the region
