Montafoner Krauthobel - a real rarity

The last producer of cabbage slicers in Austria - the Dietrich company in Vandans.

In former times, the cabbage slicers were very much in demand in late autumn. People from Montafon put a cabbage slicer on their back and walked through the villages to cut cabbage for the housewives for money in order to make sauerkraut. This branch of work was very popular. Today, this technique is again very famous. This is why the Dietrich company produced more than 4,000 slicers every year.
