The history of the house

In today’s house at Stubalpenstraße 3, first mentioned in 1542, two former houses have been built. The devastating firethat ravaged a large part of the market square in 1830, including this district, caused a significant change in the old house and plot layout.

Ignaz Raffalt – the famous Biedermeier painter from Weißkirchen

On July 1, 1800, Ignaz saw the light of day in this house as the illegitimate son of Michael Gröbmer’s daughter, Maria. When Maria married Lorenz Raffalt, the bourgeois innkeeper on the upper square in Murau in 1802, the boy was legitimized.

He grew up in his father’s house, had to help his father in the guesthouse, but began to paint in his leisure hours.

In 1820 Ignaz Raffalt went to the art academy in Vienna, earning his living by painting portraits. His father died in 1826 and Ignaz had to take over the guesthouse. As an innkeeper in Murau, he used every opportunity to paint scenes from everyday life. Like the above lithograph “Die Entenjäger”.
