The village museum in the Pfannerhaus is a local museum in the municipality of Roßhaupten in the Ostallgäu district . In addition, changing art exhibitions take place there.
The house bears the name of the Pfanner family, who have been based in Roßhaupten since around 1860. Georg Pfanner came to Alois Haggenmiller, who ran one of the first cheese dairies in town, as a cheese dairy assistant . Soon afterwards, Georg Pfanner became a milk buyer and owned his own cheese dairies, including purchasing what is now the Pfannerhaus for this purpose in 1894. The house remained in the possession of the Pfanner family for generations before the Roßhaupten community acquired the building from the last owner, Xaver Pfanner, in 1998.
