Üblacker-Häusl, Day laborers' museum in Haidhausen, Munich, Germany.
The Üblacker-Häusl is a single-story brick building at Preysingstraße 58 in the Haidhausen district with two museum rooms and exhibition space. The rooms display historical objects and information about the house's past and the people who lived there.
The house was built in the late 1700s next to a gravel pit and belonged to Johann Üblacker, a wood and coal merchant. It is one of the few preserved buildings from that era in what was once an industrial workers' neighborhood.
The museum displays the daily lives of day laborers who lived in Haidhausen while working across Munich. Visitors gain insight into how these workers spent their time and what conditions they experienced within the house.
The museum is open at specific times, so visitors should check in advance to make sure they can enter. Contact the venue directly to learn about current exhibitions and when you can visit.
The building is one of the last examples of the multi-bed boarding houses that once defined Haidhausen and were common before 1960. This type of workers' housing has nearly vanished, making the house a rare record of how people lived in earlier times.
