Ich reise gerade durch den Westen Österreichs und habe mehrere Häuser, Hütten und Schuppen gesehen, an deren Fassaden diese hölzernen Vorrichtungen angebracht waren. Was sind das?
Sie sehen aus wie Fensterläden, aber dahinter befinden sich keine Fenster.

They could be handles of scythes.
It would be easier to identify if the resolution of the photo was higher.
These constructions are used to store and dry hay after mowing on the field before bringing it home dry. There are dozens of dialect names for them, one of them literally translated “rider”.
Looks like Stangger (they have a lot of different names depending on region).
They’re used to dry hay. You pile the grass on from bottom to top and make a “Heumandl” so that the hay can dry without being damp from the floor and with enough air circulation so there’s no mold.
This wiki entry shiws exactly what they are used for, posters before already mentioned it. They are there to dry grass to become hay.
In the wiki you see hiw they are used.
