The Philippi Collection

The Philippi Collection displays over 500 religious headpieces representing Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Caodaism, Shintoism, Buddhism, and Sikhism under one roof.

The collection started when Dieter Philippi purchased a cardinal's biretta in Rome, leading to a comprehensive gathering of religious artifacts over twelve years.

The museum exhibits papal shoes, pontifical gloves, palliums, pectoral crosses, bishop rings, and papal porcelain, representing various religious traditions and hierarchies.

Visitors can obtain detailed information about the collection and schedule visits through the Tholey Tourist Information office during regular operating hours.

The museum features 52 pectoral cords, many handcrafted through intricate passementerie techniques, worn by dignitaries in the Roman Catholic Church.
