VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY IN THE BRAUNAUER AU
For all ages: Elementary school and secondary schools
For secondary schools
There are two valuable natural areas in the immediate vicinity of Braunau, the Weichholzau and the semi-dry grassland of the Inndämme. The former is very interesting for children and young people due to its primeval forest-like appearance, the latter due to its flowering splendor. The exploration should focus on the following:
  • The silver willow as the leading tree of the softwood meadows
  • The importance of deadwood
  • Aggressive neophytes that displace the native flora, e.g. Canadian goldenrod or Indian balsam
  • Edible plants and medicinal plants on the inland dams
  • Floodplains and dams as habitats for animals
The exploration should be carried out largely independently by small groups, with great emphasis being placed on knowledge of species, which is a prerequisite for the appreciation of such areas.
If desired, the nature exploration can be supplemented by games or small competitions in the nearby motor skills park.

The end of the war and the new beginning in 1945 in Braunau
The following "historical sites" will serve as reminders of what happened:
  1. View of the Inn bridge: the dramatic events on May 1 / 2; background knowledge: invasion in 1938, military situation April 1945, Hitler's Nero order, new construction of the bridge.
  2. Fish fountain, Braunau town square: living situation in May 1945: directive no. JCS1067, daily calorie allowance, food stamps, street renaming
  3. Visit to the Danube Swabians' home: background knowledge: Causes of flight, difficult integration, comparison with today's situation, clarification of the terms "refugee, displaced person, asylum seeker"
  4. Hitler's birthplace: events of May 2nd; background knowledge: Prehistory of the house and purpose of the current reconstruction.
Depending on the age and interests of the pupils, the focus can of course be set. It is important that the events surrounding the end of the war are not seen in isolation, but are understood together with the history before and after.
