Representing the 1800 displaced persons who found a new home in Marktoberdorf and the surrounding area in 1946, the figure of Rübezahl, patron saint of the Krkonoše Mountains, reminds visitors of their lost homeland in Marktoberdorf. He accompanies visitors through eight rooms on an exploratory tour of the treasures and traditions of his country of origin.
