Conditorei-Museum

The Conditorei-Museum occupies three upper floors of a Renaissance building and displays wooden molds, traditional stamps, and specialized handcrafted tools used in confectionery work. The exhibits span several centuries of baking techniques and show how different forms shaped regional pastry styles.

The building was constructed in 1556 by Christoff Hagen, a local councilor, giving it Renaissance architecture of regional importance. The structure later became a gingerbread bakery in 1722, establishing its lasting connection to the confectionery trade.

The collection reflects how baking craft became a defining trade in this region and continues to shape local identity. The displayed molds and tools tell stories of skill passed down through families and communities.

The museum sits in the old town center and is easily reached on foot, with exhibits on upper floors accessible by stairs or elevator. Visitors should allow enough time to view the collections and can extend their visit by spending time in the attached cafe.

A Viennese-style confectionery occupies the basement with seating for about 60 guests, where visitors can taste traditional baked goods after exploring the exhibits. This cafe bridges the gap between museum learning and the direct experience of authentic handcrafted pastries.
