In the Vreneli Museum, original Guggisberg traditional costumes are on display alongside all kinds of antique props from everyday life and interesting background information about Guggisberg. Ulrich Dürrenmatt, Friedrich Dürrenmatt's grandfather, wrote in 1900: "About the Guggisbärger Gattig - üser Brüüch un üsi Tracht - het ma schon i menger Brattig - schröckeli es Wäse gmacht." Why? The Guggisberg costume is just knee-length. Lydia Bucher's explanation: only half as much fabric was needed when you had to save everywhere. "And so short, it was more comfortable to wear in the porter," she says, explaining the second reason. Perhaps the short costume was also a reaction to the abolition of the dress code to wear long, modest clothing.
