Dorfmuseum Mönchhof, Folk museum in Mönchhof, Austria

Dorfmuseum Mönchhof is an open-air museum in Mönchhof in northern Burgenland, run by Christine and Josef Haubenwallner since 1990. Its roughly 35 buildings are grouped into three sections: securing a livelihood, storing provisions for the household, and a typical village with old houses and workshops, among them a school, an inn, a grocer's shop, a cinema, a municipal office, a post office, a fire station, a milk house, a church and a farm with its own wine cellar.

The open-air museum opened in 1990 and is run by Christine and Josef Haubenwallner. Its roughly 35 buildings trace everyday farm and craft life in the Heideboden, the old name for the northern Seewinkel, from about 1890 to the late 1960s. A rebuilt Andau border crossing with its original barrier recalls the 1956 Hungarian uprising and the 1989 flight of East Germans; the museum received the Austrian Museum Quality Seal on 21 November 2002.

The workshops display traditional crafts that people in the region once used daily in their work. Visitors can see how these skills shaped community life in a historic tavern and church on the grounds.

The museum is run by Christine and Josef Haubenwallner and has operated since 1990. Its roughly 35 buildings are grouped into three sections: securing a livelihood, storing provisions for the household, and a typical village with old houses and workshops. Allow enough time to walk between the sections, which lie outdoors.

The museum holds the original barrier beam from the Andau border crossing and a replica of the border station. A Trabant parked in front was abandoned on Hungarian soil in 1989 by an East German citizen who fled across the green border to Andau. The display recalls both the 1956 Hungarian uprising and the 1989 refugee movement.
