At the German Hat Museum Lindenberg visitors can get a glimpse of the hat history. Walk through 300 years of hat fashion and discover familiar, interesting and curious about the topic of headgear. Participants are invited to try out and stow away. Immerse yourself in the history of the creation of a hat with the industrious homeworkers, courageous hatters and powerful manufacturers. The women and men in Lindenberg produced around four million straw hats around 1900. The whole world was wearing hats from Lindenberg. The "Little Paris" of the hat fashion lay in the midst of the tranquil Allgäu. In one of the largest hat factories of the time, the former hat factory Ottmar Reich, you will find the German Hut Museum.
The museum won the Bavarian Museum Prize in 2015.
