Welcome to a fascinating building with the number 635, which stands on the picturesque Post Square in Aš. This building has many interesting stories that date back to 1931 when it was completed and ceremoniously opened.

Originally, the building was designed for dual purposes. Architect Emil Rösler, who hailed from nearby Plauen in Saxony, designed the plans for this structure. On one side, it housed the municipal library, located on the second floor. This was the place where locals could discover countless books and magazines, attend lectures, and enjoy reading in the reading room.

On the other side, the building served as a center for the municipal volunteer firefighters and rescue workers. For them, there were garages, workshops, and rooms for equipment. Even accommodation spaces for firefighters were available, extending up to the third floor. A peculiarity was the tower for drying fire hoses, tastefully integrated into the building's architecture.

Later, after the Second World War, the building changed its purposes. The library moved out, and in its place, local firefighters settled. However, this phase also came to an end when the firefighters left the building in March 2006. Aš decided to use this beautiful building for its own needs, and today, you will find here an ethnographic exhibition of the Aš Museum.

This building is not only an architectural gem but also a witness to the changes in the town of Aš and its community. Its history is a moving story of transformations and new beginnings that span over more than eighty years. It is also worth mentioning that architect Emil Rösler, who designed this building, had a significant influence on the appearance of several towns on both the Czech and German sides of the border, adding an additional dimension to this interesting building.
