In the Biedermeier period it was customary to send opulent, hand-made love letters to your beloved. But only a few people could write, so literate people such as village teachers were commissioned to produce letters. 

The adjacent exhibition displays wedding finery for green, silver and golden weddings. In the Innviertel, white wedding dresses only became the custom after the Second World War. Before then, brides and bridegrooms were adorned with garlands and posies. Feast day outfits were dressed up with bridal wreaths and buttonholes, and garlands of flowers on the sleeves. 

The bridal wreath played an important role in the tradition of “Kranzlabtanzen”, in which a “maiden’s wreath” was removed from the bride’s head and replaced with a woman’s bonnet.
