Alte Fischräucherei Eckernförde, Heritage museum in Eckernförde, Germany.

Description

The Alte Fischraucherei Eckernförde is a historic building with smoking ovens and equipment for fish preservation dating from the early 20th century. The site displays the complete working process from receiving raw materials to packaging finished products.

History

The smokehouse was built in the 1920s and remained an active fishing processing center for local families through the 1960s. It preserves techniques for smoking sprats that were passed down through generations of workers.

Culture

The smokehouse shows how fishing and fish processing shaped the town and remains a place to learn about traditional craftsmanship methods. Visitors see the original ovens and hear directly from people who grew up in this trade how everything worked.

Practical

The building can be visited, and it is best to book a visit in advance for a guided tour. The best time is Saturday morning when regular visitors are welcomed.

Did you know?

On special occasions the original ovens are still fired up to produce smoked fish using traditional methods. Seeing this working craft in action is rare and shows how the place actually functioned.
