Publications
Prof. Dr. Gunter Dimt, former director of the Upper Austrian State Museum, is connected with the Eggerhaus in many ways. As master builder, draughtsman, exhibition organiser, project companion and academic adviser he shaped the Eggerhaus project – and lent a hand himself.
He has written numerous carefully researched, richly illustrated publications, many of them standard works on the building and folk culture of the region. The following books are closely or more loosely connected with the Eggerhaus. Where still in print, they can be bought at the Eggerhaus or ordered via kontakt@eggerhaus.at (all books are in German).
