The fortress is a witness to the eventful history of Kufstein and the surrounding region. On the basis of the museum master plan for Kufstein, bogner.knoll developed an overall concept for the complex, which rests upon the following two pillars:
Adventure exhibitions in the indoor areas
as deeper thematic explorations into the overarching narrative,
Tour “Kufstein Fortress Route” in the outdoor areas
as interactively designed total experience for young and old.
The aim was to rearrange exhibitions and revise informational facilities in a contemporary, future-oriented and innovative way and to thereby attract a wider circle of visitors – especially families with children.
The individual modules were gradually being implemented since 2016.
Themed exhibitions
The common thread running through the entire area is the slogan “contact zone/border zone”. This is not just a matter of specific geographic borders such as those between Tyrol and Bavaria, but also of chronological transitions, and–more generally–of upheavals, milestones and points of contact, intermediary zones and interrelationships. A figure who appears time and again in this context is Kaiser Maximilian I, who conquered the fortress in 1504 and subsequently had it expanded.
