Säben Monastery

​

of the Klausen Cultural Property Association

on March 26, 2023

 

Because of the secluded life of the religious community, Säben Monastery has always had a mysterious impression. 
It has now been empty for a year and a half. Bevo
In order for it to be given a new purpose, the Klausen Cultural Heritage Association has invited people to visit the rooms that were used during the Klwere not accessible to the general public at Easter.

 

The cultural heritage association attached particular importance to treating this historically significant place with its over three centuries of monastery and women's history with due respect and also paid attention to this with all visitors.

Lecture 

​

by Eva Gratl

​

May 9, 2023

​

"If Art that excites people and turns people into vandals.”

​

This year, 2023, marks the 90th anniversary of the book burning on Berlin's Opera Square

(May 10, 1933, today Bebelplatz).

This date serves as an opportunity to reflect on the value of culture and cultural treasures and to show how history is full of terrible examples of their destruction.  

​

Bombs destroy culture in order to hit the opponent's self-confidence: the daily headlines underline the topicality of the topic. Not yesterday, but today, works of art, cultural sites, museums are being looted, damaged and wiped out.  Destroyed art means lost art, the list is long, the topic is depressing and painful. Vandalism and iconoclasm don't just belong to bygone eras. Using a few selected examples, we will show when, where, how and why art excites people, it also turns people into vandals and history is full of terrible examples of vandalism and iconoclasm.

AGM of the KGV

with lecture by Rut Bernardi

on April 30, 2022

​

Jevun y la Ladinia / Säben und Ladinia

 

Rut Bernardi tries to find legendary and historical Romanesque roots and Ladin traces in Klausen. These include sources and anecdotes about King Arostages and his daughter Larthia, the Rë de Sabiona, as well as Romanesque graves on Säben and Ladin toponyms.

Stories about the Graubünden Anabaptist Jörg Cajakob, the Val Gardena district judge Josef David Insam in Gufidaun, Ladin monastery women and the Val Badia pilgrims also fit into this topic.

Cold trenches

Visit with a guide( September 2022)

 

Built 108 years ago to withstand the enemy, the Tels trenches now have to stand up to nature. The ditches, corridors and arrow slits hewn into the hill are silent witnesses that survived two wars. A working group is researching the Teiser weir system in order to make history tangible - and understandable.

"Defenses in and around Chiusa"

​

 

Between 1833 and 1915 a whole series of considerations were made in Vienna for the defense of the central Eisack valley. Especially the wayside cross towards Brenner or Pustertal had to be defended much better after the painful experiences of 1809. 

First it was the fortified town of Brixen, then the massive Klausen-Villnöss field barrier and finally the trenches from Verdings to Gufidaun and Teis.

 

If desired and if there is still time, he will comment on the Standschützen Battalion Klausen and show some news.

The British Library and medieval documents from the Isarco Valley

​

dr Hannes Obermair

​

Wednesday February 26, 2020 at 7.30 p.m. in the Walther Hall

​

​

The British Library in London, one of the largest and most important libraries in the world, also keeps some South Tyrolean documents from the late Middle Ages (13th century) among its almost inexhaustible holdings. They come from the Eisacktal area and made their way to the United Kingdom via winding paths in the 19th century. The lecture presents the finds and also goes into the cultural-historical interesting phenomenon of the old European dualism of traditional notes (or seal documents) and notarial deeds, which used to meet abruptly in the Klausen border area between the diocese of Trent and Brixen.

 

The speaker is Hannes Obermair from Bozen, senior researcher at the European Academy there, historian and exhibition curator.
