About this work
House of a day labourer in the open-air museum Beuren, Germany. The house was built in Weidenstetten, Alb-Donau-Kreis, Germany in 1734. It is constructed from field stones and uses cheap material in comparison to farmhouses. In its 270-year history it was inhabited by different families, all of them poor. The central living room offered little room and few comforts. The sleeping area was separated from the living room by a wooden screen. The house was heated by an oven and a kitchen stove. A water tap in the kitchen was the only water source, sink and washbasin were not present. The toilet was outside. With the exception of a connection to the electricity network, larger modernisations were not carried out. The house was dismantled in Weidenstetten in 1993 and rebuilt in the open-air museum Beuren in 1997/98.
