It has been a year since a huge boulder crashed into a house in Neustift in the Tyrolean Stubaital – the “Krone” reported extensively. Meanwhile, the extended family living in the building has overcome the shock and put the rock in the yard. It is with great gratitude that it is remembered that no one was injured.
“We are doing very well”, Barbara Rainer answers when “Krone” asks how the residents of the house are doing today. Although the rockfall is ubiquitous – “we look up every day” – the family is not afraid. According to experts, the wall from which the stone broke loose at a height of 150 meters is safe.
When Barbara Rainer thinks back to April 2, 2021 today, she speaks of a “huge shock”. Understandable, because the stone colossus measuring five by three meters plunged straight into the house of her extended family. “No car, no flower would have been hit otherwise. But there was massive damage to the house.”
Boulder is now in the garden
These effects are no longer visible on the building. And the family also tried to process the feelings associated with the rock fall. To do this, they put the stone in the garden.
A year later, the ‘event of the century’, as Barbara calls it, is still an issue for the Rainers. “On April 2, we sat down and discussed the event, let it come back to life.” That’s what you should do, according to Rainer. When she thinks back to the fall of the rock, positive memories also come to mind: “We had support and we felt the sympathy of the people. That was fun.”
