Reopening of the Wolfhalden Museum

With a few short speeches and a small aperitif, we would like to welcome you to our lovely village museum for this year's season opening.
We are convinced that you will enjoy your visit.

This year we will be presenting a new special exhibition in our museum entitled "Grub - The oldest village in the Vorderland - 1475".

Founded in 1475, Grub is by far the oldest municipality in the Appenzeller-Vorderland. The aim of founding a parish was to satisfy the religious sense of the people at the time,
to have their church nearby so that young and old could attend more easily. Church attendance was given the highest priority at that time.

The two arbitration decisions of the Swiss Confederation had far-reaching consequences for Grub: the demarcation of boundaries in 1458 and the right to use the churches of the two confessions in 1589.
denominations. The old baptismal font of the parish church of Grub (1639-1691) on display also bears witness to this period. These are just some of the topics covered in this exhibition.

In the permanent exhibition in our venerable, 400-year-old museum house "zur alten Krone", where we show the life and work of the villagers over the last 250 years,
there are always exciting things to discover.

The well-attended 2025 special exhibition "Carl Lutz, the silent hero" who saved 60,000 lives, can also be visited again in 2026. A very interesting exhibition.
