Grubenmann-Sammlung

A museum for the Teufner family of master builders Grubenmann - not a matter of course! The bold architects, general contractors and engineers of the 18th century were almost forgotten. Its famous wide-span wooden bridges were destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars. Their church buildings and representative residential buildings are well maintained - but the builders were not remembered for a long time. This only changed when engineer Josef Killer wrote his dissertation on them in 1941. In 1959 a commemoration for the 250th birthday of Hans Ulrich Grubenmann took place in Teufen and St.Gallen - here Rosmarie Nüesch-Gautschi performed with a first exhibition.
