INDUSTRIAL CULTURE - European Capital of Culture 2024
The term ‘industrial culture’ combines technology, culture and social history; it encompasses the lives of all people in industrial society, their everyday lives, their living and working conditions. The aim of the project is to develop bookable products and offers with added value and to bring living industrial culture closer to people in the form of stories and places - this and much more will be on the project's numerous agendas.

Historic salt trail on the steamship "Gisela"
Salt transport across Lake Traunsee
For many centuries, salt barges were used on Lake Traunsee to transport the precious salt from Ebensee to Gmunden. As part of the Capital of Culture, an exact replica of a 16th-century salt pillar was created, which will now make its journeys on the historic paddle steamer "Gisela".

INDUSTRIAL HISTORY MAGAZINE
15 traditional companies and museums present themselves at the highest level.
With the support of the publishing house Modern Times Media GesmbH, it was possible to create a high-quality magazine filled with stories and reports from 15 companies and museums around the Traunsee and Almsee lakes.
The participating companies and museums each present themselves on a double-page spread and give the reader an insight into past, present and future industrial life with all its facets. They were the ones who made our region what it is today - a region with an old, traditional and exciting industrial history that is worth bringing to the fore.
Culinary delights meet industrial culture
Experience a live demonstration of the duplex steam pump from 1892, enjoy regional speciality snacks and refresh yourself with a glass of beer or juice. Along the Esplanade on Lake Traunsee, you will learn all about ceramics, water, salt and the steepest tramway in Europe. Finally, enjoy sweet snacks with a view of Orth Castle and the carillon at the town hall.
Duration: approx. 2 hours Meeting point: Toscanapark 1, 4810 Gmunden
