Hutmuseum Lindenberg

Hutmuseum Lindenberg is a museum dedicated to hat history and production, displaying numerous headwear examples from different periods and styles. The collection documents how hat manufacturing developed and changed through fashion trends and technological improvements.

In 1900, Lindenberg became a major center of European hat production, manufacturing millions of straw hats for markets across the continent. This position made it one of the most important hubs for the hat industry in Europe.

The exhibits tell the stories of hatmakers and local workers who developed this craft over many generations. You see the tools and materials that craftspeople used daily to produce their hats.

The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday and provides easy access to its exhibitions with clear wayfinding. Plan enough time to explore the different collection areas and understand the craftsmanship techniques on display.

One section demonstrates hatmaking techniques in action, letting visitors watch how craftspeople create hats by hand. This practical display makes the complex work behind each design clear and shows the skill required.
