Museum im Kloepferhaus

Eibiswald

The museum in the Kloepferhaus is a universal museum in miniature and shows local early history, rural life and work in south-western Styria, Koralpe glass and steel production. The glassmakers in the glassworks around the Koralpe, which existed from the 16th century until the 1920s, left behind workpieces that still amaze us today: Cobalt blue goblets, cut Ferdinandsthal wedding bottles, gold ruby bottles, but also simple objects for everyday use.

The museum is located in the baroque house where the dialect poet Dr. Hans Kloepfer was born. On the one hand a sensitive lyricist and chronicler, on the other a self-confessed National Socialist and author of Hitler poems. Lamenting the decline of his ideal rural world in a national-conservative world view and blinded by the splendor of great successes, Kloepfer was blind to the pitfalls of Hitler's onrushing forward movement. A room in the museum offers the opportunity to examine the work and influence of the doctor and writer. Does artistic creation justify personal misconduct? Does personal misconduct justify the concealment of artistic creation? A museum is not merely a collection of testimonies but a place of education and debate. Generally valid questions that not only artists as exceptional phenomena with dark sides have to ask themselves.
