European Bread Museum, Bread museum in Ebergötzen, Germany.
The European Bread Museum is a museum in Radolfshausen dedicated to the history of grain cultivation and bread production. The collection features old milling tools, threshing machines, historical documents about agriculture, and details on the development of milling and baking over centuries.
The museum grounds house a post windmill built in 1812 and a water mill with an undershot wheel originating from the Tyrolean region. These structures illustrate the technical innovations people used to process grain.
The museum displays how people across different parts of Europe made bread and what role it played in their daily lives. The exhibits show that baking was not merely a craft, but also a cultural practice with distinct regional variations.
The museum sits outside the village center on open grounds with free access to the buildings and outdoor areas. Most paths are flat, though some areas can become muddy after rain.
The museum features reconstructed Neolithic ovens that show how people made bread thousands of years ago. These recreated structures allow visitors to understand the foundations of bread production in its earliest form.
