Open-air theater St. Niklaus 2026
According to oral tradition, the last bear, the so-called Jungtalbär, was killed by Alois Pollinger. The paw still hangs in the middle of the village center of St. Niklaus, on the old Pollinger house, "Haus Balma", which was built in 1740.
The bear has always exerted a great fascination on people, although it caused the village much suffering and sorrow. People and bears living together in such close quarters was almost unbearable, so the mighty animal was hunted to extinction.
The story of the shooting of the last bear in our municipality was always on people's lips and was passed on from generation to generation with great fascination.
Now it has been turned into an open-air theater.
