Opening hours

Landhaus in Krieglach

In Peter Rosegger’s former country home in Krieglach, the Styrian poet’s life and creative periods are traced.

The permanent exhibition in the former country home of Peter Rosegger (1843–1918) shows letters and documents as well as pictures and writings which show among other things that Rosegger was in close contact with numerous artists of his time.

Writer, journalist and poet

The Rosegger Museum in Krieglach shows Peter Rosegger from a new angle in the commemoration year of 2018, inviting visitors to learn about new, previously unnoticed aspects of the writer, journalist, poet, forest lad and tailor’s apprentice that was Rosegger. And so we have finally taken a long-overdue step, to move away from the cliché of the romantically idealised forest peasant boy wading through deep snow in winter, to present a critical, political, indeed at times self-promoting Styrian.
