The Bezirksmuseum Floridsdorf invites visitors to explore the captivating history of Vienna's 21st district. The museum is housed in the Mautner-Schlössl, a significant historical building constructed in 1900 for Georg Anton Ritter von Mautner Markhof. Originally designed in the Secessionist style, it was laterBaroque style after his death in 1904. The Mautner Markhof family owned the building until 1944, after which the City of Vienna acquired it. It briefly served as a replacement for the bombed-out district office before becoming the permanent home of the Bezirksmuseum in 1960. The museum's origins trace back to 1933 when local school inspector Josef Tomschik conceived the idea of creating a museum dedicated to the history of Floridsdorf. In 1935, the Floridsdorfer Heimatmuseum was established. However, the original collection was almost entirely lost during World War II. A new association was founded in 1947 to rebuild the museum. The Bezirksmuseum's collection includes a wide range of items that reflect the district's history and culture. Visitors can explore exhibits on local industries, such as brickmaking and brewing, as well as displays on the daily life of Floridsdorf residents throughout the centuries. The museum also features a collection of historical photographs, documents, and maps that provide a visual record of the district's development. The museum also has dedicated rooms to former Mayor and President Franz Jonas, who came from Floridsdorf, and Ludwig van Beethoven, who often visited Jedlsee. One of the museum's highlights is its collection of items related to Ludwig van Beethoven, who frequently visited Jedlesee, now part of Floridsdorf. The museum also houses a library, a small archive, and an office. The Bezirksmuseum Floridsdorf is more than just a repository of historical artifacts; it is a vibrant center for cultural engagement.
