Abstract
The project “Inventory of Historical Stone Walls in Vorarlberg” has at its core the research and documentation as well as preservation and maintenance of historical natural stone walls in municipalities of Vorarlberg. 2018 the observed municipalities are Satteins and Frastanz. The focus of the reseach in part one of the project (part two is adressed on the rest and planned in the next years) is on the centers of the muicipalities. The research aims on the questions: - documentation of the buildings and finding of construction-types of the municipalities centers, - analysis of the construction-techniques and historical materials, - generate assessment criteria for the construction-types. The documentation of the constructions and inventory of the walls in the municipalities are the basis for further analysis of the cultural landscape and detailed source research in order to classify their age. Another focus lies on the development of criteria to figure out their value as cultural heritage as well as their constructional and sociocultural significance. Based on this, the project derives development goals and measure concepts for handling the historical elements of cultural landscapes and suggests first objects for restoration. Benefits of the project The project is intended to contribute to a respectful, professional and foresighted dealing with cultural heritage in cultural landscapes and settlement areas. In addition to the inventory of preserved historical natural stone walls, particular attention is given to historical wall construction methods and the future maintaining and renewing measures. This leads to a publication of research results and international networking. Subsequently, professionally guided rehabilitation projects on one of the suggested objects should be the beginning of maintenance and conservation of the historic walls. This supports regional know-how of craft knowledge and skills to build natural stone walls.
