The Swabian Crafts Museum in Augsburg is a unique institution that offers a glimpse into the past. Operated by the Chamber of Crafts for Swabia, the museum showcases meticulously recreated workshops of old craft professions. Visitors can explore the intricacies of these professions and gain a deeper understanding of the region's rich craft history.

Historical Location of the Museum

The Swabian Crafts Museum is housed in the lower Brunnenmeisterhaus, a building that dates back to the 18th century. 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.
