    Watch the documentary film "rotten society" ► ua-cam.com/video/d1QjfOo6POw/v-deo.html
    On our journey to the Balkans in the summer of 2021, we were accompanied by a group of filmmakers. They shot a documentary on that trip about how curiosity conquers fear, and how the gruesome past of the Yugoslav wars can be explored through abandoned sites. We have several appearances in that 60-minute-long film. There are English subtitles availble, just turn them on in the UA-cam player. Enjoy the film and say hi to our friends from us!

    I have lost so many pets through my years and seeing these taxidermied animals just reminds me of the deadness in their eyes. However, your documenting of this place was really fascinating! I wish it could have been a little longer, but I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to spend a lot of time in there. You guys are always number one for me!

    * Hey Marco and Till. Fun mission this time. I grew up at the end of the taxidermy craze. Taxidermy was a way to show off trophy's of expensive hunting trips in the past. And were expensive to have done for you. They were a lot of work to do right. This would have been an envious collection for sure. I love the humorous ones. Like the Jackolope which was supposed to be a cross between a Jack Rabbit and Antelope. My father had a taxidermist friend who used to do Squirrels. He had them Smoking, or Hitchhiking, or Flying RC Airplanes. I got a Black Bear once hunting with my dad. Who fancied himself " The Great White Hunter" He got it made into a rug for me back in 1966 and it cost $500 usd back then. It was hard having a father like that as he usually had us eat whatever we killed. Which is as it should be. He however had a habit of making try things without knowing what it was first. He would tell me " Close Your Eyes And Open Your Mouth" . Then he would shove some of whatever he was cooking into my mouth ! I remember when he cooked up some of that bear. When I came home from school he shoved some into my mouth. Then he told me it was " Bear Balls " ! 🤮 I almost gagged ! Till he told me it was meatballs made of the meat not testicles ! He tried everything garlic, onions, beer, whiskey, to flavor that meat but it was terrible tasting.

      Strange comment on the taste of bear meat. A guy at work hunted only with bow and arrow. He would share part of his kill with our family.
      As a roast this was the most flavorful meat I’d ever tasted, the slight flavor of blackberries making it better than any sauce coulld. The bear had obviously been foraging on wild berries.

    This was a fascinating exploration, of a very strange house. I’m pretty sure that there is more than one taxidermist in more than one generation involved in the “decorating” of this house.
    The taxidermy is very skilled, with the animals in natural poses…there is just way too much of it. I’m thinking the taxidermist might not have been the hunters, and just wanted to preserve the beauty of the birds and animals that several hunters brought in.
    There is a creative sense to this place, and an artist uses the materials that come to hand, in order to create. The drawers of butterflies and starfish remind me of the old museum exhibits when I was a child, so there may have been a “Cabinet of Curiosities” in here as well.
    It just feels like several generations of intellectual and creative people, (some of whom hunted), bounced off of and were inspired by the activities and interests of each other. Definitely a little macabre, thanks for giving us a view of the place, as always, you take us with you.🖤🇨🇦

    When I was a boy I always pretended to feel okay about the specimens inside our high school science lab every lab day....but the ultimate challenge was when me and my friends opted to visit the National Museum of History (Philippines) I saw tons of wildlife species not even mentioned in books native to our country. In displays where glass cases small and big were in close proximity to each other it was very uncomfortable and chilling especially when the whole large room and setting of the specimens was like a forest. The open sections with SEVERAL animals posing (anywhere from 10-80) were a bit okay for me since they were at a distance of 6 meters from the viewer(a 27ft + killer croc in the open with no glass on a large table for all to pass by was cool though)....but the video of this house was unsettling for me, but the shots of the animals were the perfect blend of quick and just enough to see them clearly....I didn't get sick while eating my trail mix....and I agree I wouldn't want to set foot in that house much more rummage through the things and find a forest friend

I love wildlife and all mounts I have are vintage and fixed up, besides animals that died in captivity. Makes me sad seeing a whole collection not being enjoyed. I'd pay money to walk through that house and mabye save a couple mounts from rotting slowly away. Especially species that could be used to educate others that people don't see often.

    Maybe, a Museum or a similar, educational Organisation could clean up, restore and make use of the Specimens again? :]
    They'd be great for education and display.
    Also I guess, since Taxidermy was quite common in Austria and uncomfortable to look at for most, that People didn't steal them.

    5:58 This is mainly done for practice, its just a 'cheap' selfmade version of a flat-bullet. The flat nose makes it easier to see exactly where your bullet penetrated a paper target, which makes for much easier scoring, as the hole is cleaner with less radial tearing. In case of trophy hunting.... I would say it doesnt make to much sense to use flat-bullets.

  • @MekareP

    Momento Mori. People in modern times have a more disturbing view of death than in the past. Taxidermy is super normal and lots of assumptions made in the comments. Seeing as so many of them are older, it's possible a collection that was made over many years. So while it seems like a lot, things add up over time. Taxidermists usually often preserve animals that died of natural causes and not just trophy hunting. At the end of the day, we don't know but I think to err on the side of the more reasonable reaction is more appropriate.

      I've spent a lot of time in the countryside. And you don't tend to just find fresh specimens worthy of stuffing. Pretty much the only time you can find freshly dead animals is by the roadside, road kill. These creatures were hunted for sure. Also, there is a common practice in Europe to kill birds of prey as they are considered competition for game birds and rabbits etc.

      Ich stimme dir zu, dass es unfassbar ist, wenn jemand ein Tier nur für eine "Trophäe" tötet.
      Jedoch machen das nicht alle.
      Es gab/gibt genug Leute die verwerten, was sie schießen (inklusive Dachse, Waschbären, Greifvögel etc)
      Dann gibt es noch natürlich verstorbenen Tiere, Tiere aus Privathaltung uvm.
      Wir wissen auch nicht, woher die Person die Präparate hat, ob sie vorher schon jemandem aus der Familie gehört haben, ob er sie gekauft/bekommen oder selbst geschossen hat. Anschein hat er sie aber präpariert, was nicht verwerflich ist!
      Natürlich, spricht viel dafür, dass der Großteil wahrscheinlich geschossen wurde aber wir wissen schlich ergreifend einfach nicht, ob das alles diese eine Person war und wie die Tiere verwertet wurden.
      Die Präparation von Tieren ist, an sich, zudem auch Zeit und Kostenaufwändig weswegen man das normalerweise nicht einfach Mal so zum Spaß machen lässt.
      Edit. Der Herr war Präparator also kann es definitiv sein, dass er auch Tiere zur Präparation erhalten bzw aufgekauft hat. Er scheint einfach eine riesige Passion für Tiere zu haben und hat ihre Schönheit für zukünftige Generationen festgehalten.
      Schade, dass sie jetzt in dem Haus verkommen.

    Among all those animals there were some upside down, some with an animal for food, so many different types of animals.
    I wonder if the resident's did the taxidermy or if someone else did it. Very expensive hobby for this resident.

    6.40 (!!) The man had a passport with a red mark "for all countries of the world"..!! And this note was made a very long time ago .. At a time when there was a confrontation between the countries of the socialist camp and the USSR against the USA and Western countries. And a person at this time has a passport for free entry to any country, regardless of its political structure. And this doctor himself lives in Austria and has Russian books in the library .. And he or his parents had a strange hobby - to kill animals and make "toys" out of them. Even a small deer is there..
    Imagine how a person went through passport control at the border.. Without a doubt, this was a very valuable person for the governments of many countries or for those who are above governments..
    He is also a psychiatrist who loved to turn life into death. Or feel comfortable in this death. What did he do during World War II? Where did he gain experience? this is a question..
    For example, the talented physician Mengele also traveled and lived without fear of persecution.
    And the mind-altering government projects MK-Ultra and Monarch invited experienced psychiatrists.
    In general, this mark in the passport is a very significant thing ..
    I think you visited an important "gray eminence" .. Who lived for the eyes of others as a simple psychiatrist .. The fact that he had religious symbols in his house most likely did not affect him in any way ..
    Thanks for the vidio. Be careful in your travels. Listen to your intuition. Don't go where you feel vague danger or anxiety.
    I don't know if you're even a little religious. But if you ask the Lord Jesus to keep you and guide you, it will help you. May the Lord keep you and guide you!

    This was a we to do family, that’s for sure! As evident by their furnishings, clothing & items in the home! We live in the United States, even our country has different regions & cultures concerning things such as taxidermy!!! When we lived in the north west, they do more hunting for food & taxidermy is looked at as an art… people have it on their walls, as we did when we lived there! Then we moved to the southwest, people there, view it as barbaric & don’t understand the views of the northwestern! This, however, in my opinion, was overkill!!! Either the Dr. in the house, had this as his hobby, fascinating, or was obsessed with death!!! The children, probably don’t wish to return to this house to retrieve treasures or memorabilia, as they don’t like being here either 😳😢😖 My take on the handicapped lady, was that she was injured in an accident or got a disability at a later age, such as MS & was confined to a wheelchair! But, as you said, this house certainly is not handicapped friendly!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us! I truly loved it 👍❤️💕

Absolutely wild, creepy, and fascinatingly disturbing at the same time.

    This is very extreme trophy hunting by someone or maybe a few people in the family. It looks almost competitive. Trophy hunting needs to be a thing of the past. Today it is the rich, egotistical and arrogant that do it. It is running rampant in the American West and is used as a political dig at all other lifestyles in America. It is offending millions of people here as wolves are hunted and killed in every disgusting and unethical manner.

    This place is amazing! But I feel it's necessary to point out the fact that just because someone has a large collection of taxidermied creatures doesn't necessarily mean they're bloodthirsty hunters.... Obviously from the ammo and the hunting guides and stuff this guy was a prolific hunter. But I'm a taxidermist and I have dead critters all over my house, I'm sure it would be easy to assume I'm just as bloodthirsty. However I have never, and will never, kill any creature just so I can stuff it. I think that's awful, and no creature should ever have to fear being killed simply because it's beautiful and someone wanted to hang it on their wall. All my taxidermied creations are road kill, died from natural causes or injuries unrelated to wanting to taxidermy them that they couldn't be treated for, or brought to me by someone else. I do not condone killing any animal for the purpose of taxidermy, and will not participate in it. When I taxidermy an animal I do it to celebrate that animal's beauty and uniqueness and to give it a second life, after a fashion, once it's soul has gone on. So don't automatically assume that just because someone has a large collection of taxidermied animals, or is a taxidermist, that that means they like to kill things or anything like that. Sometimes that is the case, but not always.
