Suppenmuseum, Soup museum in Sehmatal, Germany.
Description
Suppenmuseum is a specialized museum in Sehmatal dedicated entirely to soup and its role in local life. Its collection features soup bowls, plates, spoons, cups, historical cookbooks, and materials that illustrate various preparation methods and eating customs.
History
The museum opened in August 2013 inside the former town hall after relocating from its previous site in the Kaiserhof Neudorf residential area. This move gave the institution a more central and visible location within the community.
Culture
The name Neudorf connects to a centuries-old story of a hermit named Katzenhans who received soup at every house in the settlement. This legend continues to shape how locals see their village identity and its soup-making heritage.
Practical
The museum is located at Karlsbader Strasse 174 and welcomes visitors from Monday to Saturday, 10:30 to 15:30, and on Sundays from 11:00 to 15:00. Plan your visit considering the earlier closing time on weekdays and adjusted hours during special events.
Did you know?
Each October, the Kirmes im Suppenland festival takes place, where local residents showcase their soup-making skills through friendly competitions and displays. This celebration keeps the centuries-old soup tradition alive and draws visitors from nearby areas.
