Описание

The Village Museum Düppel is a hidden, green oasis on the edge of a modern capital city, renowned for its active volunteers, who bring the medieval village to life with a variety of craft activities and experiments through their longstanding commitment. The project consist of two parts – a practical working part which will last 6 hours per day and a study part, which takes place in the evenings and during weekends. One of the houses at Museum Village Düppel needs a new roof quite urgently. At the moment, all roofs are thatched with reeds, however in order to make the visitors understand better that the roof covering is open to interpretation, as it was not discovered during the archaeological excavations, we want to show different types of roofs. As part of this project, the roof of one of the smaller houses will be covered with wood shingles. Volunteers will learn to work with medieval tools, taking off bark of thin beams to renew the sub-roof construction. For shingle production, beam sections will be split with shingle splitters and carved with a drawknife. To cover the roof, shingles are layered onto the sub construction and fixed with wooden nails. Volunteers will be able to take part in every step of the process, learning to rebuild an entire roof the medieval way. Wood and clay working specialists will share their experience and knowledge with the volunteers, passing on old techniques and therefore helping to keep them alive. Although this kind of work is a lot of fun, it cannot be all work. There will be plenty of opportunities to sit around a fire in the evenings, to talk about the day’s work, to get to know the fellow volunteers, employees and the volunteers of the Museum Association.
