Gemeindehaus Nr. 7: Gemeindehaus

Tubulent new building

Before the new parish hall could be built in 1977, the predecessor building had to give way. The congregation released the old meetinghouse for clearing out before demolition. An action that got out of control. The villagers flocked with handcarts, trucks and tools and took everything with them that was not rivet and nail proof. "Dia sind miar", they are said to have argued loudly about panelling, stairs and furniture. Even to handcuffs it had come.

Not only the demolition of the old, but also the new parish hall caused turbulence in the village. Not everyone liked the mighty new building. 

In the audio, Felix Schutz, mayor of Filisur (2008 - 2017), talks about village life and the reactions to the modern parish hall. The audio file can be found at the back of the pictures.
