The 2008 Eggerhaus documentary, digitised and online
A DVD about the Eggerhaus was produced in 2008. The two films show what nobody can re-stage today: how the log house was taken down beam by beam and re-erected at Am Wiesenhof – and how bread is baked in the oven of the black kitchen. The films were rescued from the DVD in 2026 and upscaled to 1080p; picture quality matches the 2008 original. Both films are in German.
Film 1 · 29:42 min · German with English subtitles
From taking down the log house to the finished building
Surveying and dismantling under Prof. Gunter Dimt, interim storage, the start of construction in 1998, carpenters, masons and joiners at work, interviews with those involved and the opening on 16 August 2003.
Film 2 · 9:26 min · German with English subtitles
Firing, loading, baking – the oven in the black kitchen
Bread baking as in our ancestors’ time: the oven is fired with wood, the dough is kneaded in the trough, the loaves rise in baskets and go into the oven on the peel.
