With soap and washboard...A wash day like around 1900
On July 27, 2023, the museum courtyard at Malchiner Tor will be a wash scene like in the old days, where visitors young and old can experience and try out for themselves how women washed laundry around 120 years ago. You will learn why this only happened every four to six weeks, but then for one or two days. Linen washing then hangs on the lines in the museum yard, which are stretched up with homemade wooden hooks. In a wooden tub or zinc tub, you can rub a piece of laundry clean with soap and water on a washboard, rinse it with water, wring it out, and hang it up. You may also use a rotary iron. You will be equipped with aprons and a headscarf like the washerwomen in former times. Have fun!
