Intro

Everything under one hat: Straw Gravel History: The permanent exhibition focusing on "Changing the Landscape" and "Hat Industry" is presented in the Goldbachschür.

Everything under one hat: Straw Gravel History: The permanent exhibition focusing on "Changes in the Landscape" and "Hat Industry" is presented in the converted Goldbachschür.

We show how the landscape is constantly changing due to gravel mining, the effects on agriculture as well as the recultivation of the gravel pits with new areas for nature conservation, viticulture and arable farming.

The hat factory Ritz & Söhne produced ladies' and men's hats until 1959. The production was abandoned for economic reasons. You will learn about the hat production and we will show how straw hats were produced at that time.

The village chronicle, picture and sound documents complete the exhibition.

Special exhibitions on local topics are held regularly.
