Discover all the different facets of this ecological building material! Every year, our special exhibition is dedicated to another aspect, e.g. in the fields of art, nature or architecture.

The museum lies in the countryside, in the area of the former brick and tile works of the family Lörch. You may explore the original Ziegelhütte (brickworks) from the 19th century, a heritage site. Just in front is the Biotop, a nature reserve, which has developed in the former clay pit.

From time to time you may attend special courses related to clay working or manufacture and decorate your own «Feierabendziegel» ("end of work-tile") during an «Offene Werkstatt» (“open workshop”).

Each year, we show at least one special exhibition that is related to industrial ceramics, building with clay, or with local art and culture.

This year, you can visit a new exciting exhibition details see here soon.
