Schamel Meerrettich

Schamel Meerrettich is a museum dedicated to horseradish in Baiersdorf, showing how it is grown, processed, and used. Exhibits, information panels, and films explain the full story of this plant and its importance to the region.

The Schamel company began processing horseradish in 1846 and became an important business in the region. The museum was founded in 1997 to document this 150-year development.

The museum tells stories about the people who worked with horseradish and how this root became part of the region's daily life. Visitors learn about its role in traditional recipes and festive meals.

The museum includes a visitor garden where real horseradish plants grow, helping you understand the work better. Well-maintained paths make it easy to explore both indoor and outdoor areas comfortably.

Visitors can taste freshly harvested horseradish under guidance and experience how intense and fresh the flavor really is. These free samples show the real difference between hand-processed and factory products.
