Hugo Schwab, a member of the Friends of the Museum Commission and one of the most enthusiastic developers of this proposal, reported that the Volga German Museum will be reopened in Kerb, which brings together a lot of machinery and vehicles with years of history. , as is the case of tractors, harvesters and other implements that were used to till the fields.
“We have been working with this Museum for many years, we have overcome some setbacks, the issue of the pandemic, the high costs of fuel to go and look for the tools that were donated or transferred on loan in the fields of the area and neighboring cities. All this produced a stoppage of movement. We have lowered the pace, but we have never stopped, work has always been going on,” said Hugo Schwab
In this sense, he reported that an old tractor was brought from the Darregueira area about two months ago; that they have been working on the repair of some of these vehicles, those that are starting up, “to present it at the Volga Fest, along with another tractor, where they have asked us to bring something in advance, so that people can go seeing”.
Thus, little by little, progress has been made: “We were making a roof to protect some of the old tractors. Next week we will start with the decoration of the front and all the posters for the reopening at the Kerb party”.
So on May 7, in the morning, there will be an exhibition of very old cars, including a 1905 Fiat from the city of Daireaux. “We will have the presence of the Coronel Suárez Antique Automotive Association, which represents us throughout the area. Cars will come from Olavarría, from Tandil, very old cars”. They will be exposed in the morning hours, on the avenue. Then they will enter the Museum premises and, at the time of the parade, they will be participating with all the tools that the Museum of the Volga Germans will present. It is estimated that more than 20 tractors will be parading. Some of these implements are owned by the Museum of the Germans, others by families that have repaired them and will be showing them. Including the Titan, the iron-wheeled tractor from 1914, which Juan Hippener donated to the aforementioned Museum.
