Danmarks Forsorgsmuseum - Men's work department
The unworthy lived in the Workhouse. Here there were bars on the windows and barbed wire on the walls. Here men and women had to work separately. The unworthy were described in the Fattiggården regulations as "lazy and decayed subjects". These were men and women who were believed to be able to get a job, young and otherwise able to work but without employment. On the first floor is the overseer's apartment. From the late 1940s, Ove lived here with his wife Inger and their daughters, Lisa and Kirsten. Inger worked in the Fattiggården kitchen, and Ove worked as overseer until 1974. The apartment looks almost as it did then, and much of the interior comes from the family, who were happy to live and work at the Fattiggården.
