Handwerkerstuben

Beschreibung

The historic craftsmen's workshops on Karl-Marx-Strasse are well worth a visit. The listed buildings take you back to what work and life used to be for the craftsmen's families. Old looms and the typical Gingst damask cloth manufactured by the weavers' guild revived by J.-G. Picht, which was re-established after the abolition of serfdom in 1773, can be admired there, as can the tools and household items of the wheelwrights, shoemakers, watchmakers, blacksmiths, tailors, barbers and other trades.
