Abstract: The project investigated more than 100 years old protection barriers in the Kleinwalsertal, Austria and results in a "Wall Inventory" but also an instrument for the responsible authority (WLVV) to decide and plan the rehabilitation and development of their historical stock. Beside their protective effects, the buildings show multifaceted significance. They are witnesses to the pioneering work in avalanche protection, they are formative landscape elements and keep the volatile avalanche history in people´s mind.
