Höhr-Grenzhausen, Ceramic industry center in Westerwaldkreis, Germany

The municipality of Höhr-Grenzhausen extends across the Westerwaldkreis district at 250 meters above sea level, surrounded by natural clay deposits.

Salt-glazed pottery production in Höhr-Grenzhausen began in the 1500s when skilled artisans from Raeren, Belgium established workshops in the region.

The Westerwald Ceramics Museum displays collections of regional pottery traditions, while the professional ceramics college trains new generations of craftspeople.

The administrative offices at Rathausstraße 48 provide municipal services and tourism information for visitors interested in exploring the ceramic heritage.

The International Ceramics Market brings 150 European exhibitors to Höhr-Grenzhausen each June, transforming the streets into an open-air pottery exhibition.
