Historical Location of the Museum

This building is part of a historical ensemble that includes the Red Gate, the Holy Spirit Hospital, the waterworks at the Red Gate, and the water towers. The location of the museum adds to its charm and offers visitors a chance to explore a piece of Augsburg's history.
Journey through Time with Extinct Crafts
The permanent exhibition at the Swabian Crafts Museum is a journey through time. It displays historical workshops of old and mostly extinct crafts such as bathers, saddlers, shoemakers, watchmakers, bakers, bookbinders, and trimmers. Each workshop is meticulously recreated, complete with original furnishings, tools, and working materials, offering visitors a unique insight into these lost professions.
