Gemeindehaus Nr. 7: Gemeindehaus

Tubulent new building

Before the new parish hall could be built in 1977, the previous building had to make way. The municipality released the old parish hall for clearing out before it was demolished. An action that got out of control. The villagers streamed in with handcarts, trucks and tools and took everything with them that was not nailed down. "Dia sind miar," they are said to have argued loudly about panelling, stairs and furniture. There were even fisticuffs.

Not only the demolition of the old one, but also the new community center caused turbulence in the village. Not everyone liked the mighty new building.

In the audio , Felix Schutz, mayor of Filisur (2008 - 2017), talks about village life and the reactions to the modern community center. The audio file can be found at the back of the pictures.
