X Kisalföld - X-5 House from Jánossomorja

nomic and cultural associations were founded creating a lively urban atmosphere in the settle­ments. At the left side of the house in the kitchen with a vaulted chim­ney there was an oven with a cooking range on top of it made of adobe. In the foreground rarely used utensils and ornate dishes were kept. The grosse Stube, the big room was the representative room used only on festive occa­sions. Its presti­gious furniture was carved by local joiners according to the bourgeois taste of the early 20th century. The devotional objects, charac­teristic of Catholic German fami­lies are mainly from Austrian shrines, e.g. the adorned home altar is from Maria Zell. The hin­tere Stube, the back room was where the family lived. Its ingen­ious pieces of furni­ture are the bench­beds, which were used as berths after being opened. The muse­ums textile workshop with a loom inside is in the right wing of the house.
