Honorable award: Golden medal for Klaus Haberler in Lanzenkirchen!

A memorable event for the municipality of Lanzenkirchen: On December 3, 2024, Klaus Haberler, the founder of the local farmers museum, received the prestigious "Golden Medal" of the honor for merit around the state of Lower Austria. This special event took place in the presence of Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, who had come to hand over the medal. Klaus Haberler, who started collecting historical objects from farming life 50 years ago, launched the peasant museum with tireless efforts. Today the collection comprises around 600 exhibits and has strongly shaped the community. His work as a chairman of the museum association, which he did until 2021, has now been duly appreciated, since he continues to actively participate in the preservation and expansion of the museum as a representative of the chairman, such as meinzirk.at reported.

In addition to this honor, the annual Thanksgiving Festival took place in the garden of the farm museum on September 24, 2023. The celebrations were accompanied by the Katzelsdorf brass music, while the elementary school children gave the altar. Mag. Klaus Haberler, current chairman of the museum association and son of Klaus Haberler, emphasized the importance of Thanksgiving for the community. He reported that the museum's focus is not only on agricultural, but also on craft objects that were made available by farmers from the region. Father Raphael took over the festive design of the fair in the impressive backdrop of the Bauernmuseum, and the event was very well received, as lanzenkirchen.gv.at reported. Mayor Bernhard Karnthaler and the deputy chairman of the farmers' association, Hannes Fingerlos, were satisfied with the course of the festival and thanked the numerous supporters.
