Bavarian Bakery Museum

The intangible UNESCO cultural heritage ‘German Bread Culture’ is the centrepiece of the exhibition. The bakery trade is shown here across borders as a pan-European heritage and makes bread tangible as a cultural ambassador.

‘Our daily bread’ is not a matter of course, it is the result of the labour of many hands: farmer, miller, baker. The little bakery from the Kulmbach region around 1700 delights young and old alike.

The imposing three-storey mill from the Kulmbach region - the ‘Neidsmühle’ - bears witness to how grain was ground into flour. It vividly illustrates the work of the miller and the individual work steps in a grain mill.

Baking is a craft, knowledge and technical progress. The old bakery is the glowing heart of the bakery, where experience and hard work turned flour into bread. It brings to life the arduous working world of the baker of that time.

The village bakery shop - also known as a corner shop - tells the story of how the baker used to sell many other everyday items in addition to baked goods in a small village.

The baker's bicycle was used by the baker to transport his bread and baked goods - baked goods distribution in earlier times.

Experience the authentic art of baking for yourself on one of the various baking courses at the bakery museum. Whether it's different types of bread, bread rolls or Christmas biscuits, together with the professional baker, every baking project is a success.
