Schopper- und Fischereimuseum

1 Museum - 2 Wissenswelten!

Seit 2004 präsentiert sich in Aschach an der Donau ein Doppelmuseum, das dem vergessenen Handwerk des Schoppens und der Fischerei in Oberösterreich gewidmet ist.

A museum tour in the Schoppermuseum conveys not only interesting facts about the social and economic conditions of the Schoppers with the help of original objects, display boards and interviews with contemporary witnesses, but also provides information about the wooden ships once manufactured in Aschach with the help of models. The shipbuilder derives the name "Schopper" from the activity of "Schoppen", as the sealing of the joints in the manufacture of the ships, rafts or Zillen is called.
Progress and change in fishing are also vividly thematized and vividly conveyed through impressive exhibits. In addition to numerous specimens of fish species found in the Danube catchment area, various animals living on the water are also on display. It is one of the main tasks of the OÖ. Landesfischereiverbandes is to preserve and pass on the cultural heritage of fishing that has been handed down from generation to generation.
