A huge risk, but also a magnificent vision that continues to have an impact to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous finds made of stone, clay and bone were to leave the silent display cases of the Lake Constance collectors and tell their story to visitors of all ages in a vivid and accessible way within a lifelike reconstruction of a pile-dwelling village. The revival of tourism on the lake would happen almost as a side effect. What is known today by the modern term \u2018crowdfunding\u2019 was already working quite well back then: shares offered for sale provided the necessary start-up funding.<\/p>\n<p>And so the oldest houses in the Lake Dwelling Museum have stood for over 100 years. They have long since written their own fascinating history.
