This presentation will be an opportunity for you to meet our 14-tonne purring monster. The driver will be happy to tell you all about how snowcats work. Fun fact: being a snowcat driver has become the dream job for many South Tyrolean children, replacing the more traditional excavator driver and ship’s captain. No registration required.

The special exhibition “Die Hutterer. A Search for Traces in Klausen” is accompanied by the collaborative UNIKA exhibition under the Ladin title “PESC” (meaning PEACE) – an ideal that connects both exhibitions at the Civic Museum Klausen. They are part of the initiatives for the Euregio Museums Year 2025 “weiter sehen,” which, in memory of the Peasants’ War of 1525, addresses contemporary themes. The Hutterites A Search for Traces in Klausen The nearly 500-year history of the Hutterites, who were expelled from Tyrol in the 16th century, is that of a minority that was marginalized and persecuted due to their religious beliefs and communal organization. However, their story is also one of plurality and openness to foreign ideas. The teachings of the Anabaptists found great support in Tyrol, including in Klausen. One of the most significant preachers and religious leaders of the Hutterites, Peter Walpot, was a native of Klausen. At the same time, the Hutterites were subjected to relentless persecution, as evidenced by well-documented cases from Klausen. Jakob Huter, born near St. Lorenzen, took on the leadership of the Anabaptists in Tyrol at an early stage and organized their communal life. In the 16th century, the Anabaptists moved to tolerant Moravia, marking a period of prosperity. From the 17th century onward, they were forced to migrate further until they eventually reached North America. Here, despite facing some crises, they managed to preserve their faith and a well-functioning community to this day. Opening hours: Tues – Sat | 9.30 – 12 a.m., 3.30 – 6 p.m. Closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays
