Work songs at the Stübing Open-Air Museum
During the musical tour at the Stübing Open-Air Museum, old work songs come to life again – with stories, communal singing, and a lot of joy in music.
Participation fee and registration required.
What did the working day used to sound like when hands, tools, and a shared rhythm set the pace instead of machines? On Saturday, October 17, 2026, a historical-musical tour through the Stübing Open-Air Museum connects exciting insights into past working worlds with the joy of singing together.
Many tasks were once laboriously done by hand. Hence, songs that supported the rhythm, created community, and made the daily grind a little easier were all the more important. Traditional pieces like “Spinn, Spinn, Spinnerin” or “Lahnsattler Holzknecht” still tell the story today.
The Stübing Open-Air Museum provides a particularly harmonious setting for this. Among historical buildings and vividly presented working processes of the past, Daniel Fuchsberger from the Styrian Folk Song Association brings the appropriate songs into play. It’s not just about listening: singing together is explicitly part of it and makes the tour especially lively.
From 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., a cheerful connection of history, music, and shared experiences is created. Participation costs € 25.00 for members of the Styrian Folk Song Association, € 35.00 regular, plus museum admission or group price. Registration with the Styrian Folk Song Association (+43 316 908635 or online) is required.
The open-air museum is accessible by public transport.
