Black Forest Costume Museum, Folk costume museum in Haslach im Kinzigtal, Germany.
The Black Forest Costume Museum in Haslach im Kinzigtal displays over 100 examples of traditional regional clothing in large glass cases. The collection fills a former Baroque Capuchin monastery with stone walls and vaulted rooms that create an intimate setting for viewing the garments.
The museum opened in 1980 and occupies the only surviving Baroque Capuchin monastery from the 17th century in southern Germany. The building itself reflects the region's religious heritage and shows how the site transformed from monastic life to cultural preservation.
The collection shows regional dress variations from different Black Forest areas, revealing how clothing changed from place to place across the landscape. The handmade details and embroidery on the fabrics tell stories about local traditions and the skill of the women who made them.
The museum operates from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday, while winter months run Tuesday to Friday with a break during midday hours. It helps to check current opening times before visiting, as schedules shift between seasons.
The collection includes a notable woman's headdress from Sankt Georgen that weighs around 3 kilograms, showing how substantial these accessories really were. Such heavy pieces were part of daily life and visitors often find this detail surprising.
