Our cultural mediators wear these "Bladuruck-Dirndl" and enthusiastically show how to dye blue with INDIGO and how to print the "Papp" with the "Modeln" so that the white patterns are later created. They have many anecdotes to tell about the journeymen dyers who traveled trough half of Europa during their travels. Many proverbs that we use every day come from the "blue coloring" - for example "blue Monday", "experience a blue miracoe" or "put somone througth the Mangel". The "Mangel" ist also the heart of the dyeing Museum in Gutau, is still functional today and, despite its 12 tons weight, can be moved by just one person unsing a Göpel drive.
