The Kandern Local History and Ceramics Museum is a local history museum in the town of Kandern in the Lörrach district with a focus on ceramic craftsmanship.

history

After Karl Herbster was transferred to Kandern in 1905, he collected the basis of the exhibits for the local history and ceramic museum. In the summer of 1910 he set up an antique room with the Kandern trade association. In 1912 an exhibition was organized in the rooms of the old schoolhouse. With expert advice from the painter Hermann Daur , the collection could be expanded significantly and in 1924 Daur organized an exhibition in the town hall hall. In 1926 Albert Eisele came to Kandern as a teacher and now became a driving force behind the expansion of the collection and efforts to establish a permanent exhibition space. In 1936 the community made a building on the market square available for the collection and a museum could now be opened. The brick manufacturer Ernst Kammüller was one of the important sponsors. After the war, the building was used for other purposes and the museum collection had to be stored in various storage areas and suffered losses. It was not until the 1200th anniversary of Kandern and the 150th anniversary of the death of Johann Peter Hebel in 1976 that a new location for the museum was found in the sixteenth-century stepped gable house on Ziegelstrasse. Giselher Haumesser archived the collection and designed the exhibition in collaboration with Hans Jakob Wörner from the Freiburg State Monuments Office.

To support the activities of the museum there is the Friends of the Heimat- und Keramikmuseum Kandern.

exhibition

Pottery and ceramics were chosen as the focus of the exhibition - areas of the economy that played a special role in the city's recent history. Hafnerwerkstätten existed in the village from 1599 to 1965. Since the end of the 19th century, handicrafts in Kandern developed into high-quality handicrafts under the decisive influence of Max Laeuger . Richard Bampi and Horst Kerstan further developed the ceramic art workshop of the Tonwerke Kandern. The exhibition is therefore shaped by the works of these three artists, which are, however, supplemented by works by younger ceramic artists - designs by the painter August Macke are also on view.

The historical, local history part of the exhibition shows references between the old Baden town of Kandern and the margraviate and the Grand Duchy of Baden. The most significant art-historical exhibit is the "Golden Pig", a drinking vessel made of gold-plated silver, a copy of which is shown here. The Margrave of Baden-Durlach, Georg Friedrich , donated the drinking vessel in 1604, which stood in the Kanderner forester's house for centuries before it was loaned to the Badisches Landesmuseum in 1977 . Mementos from the Baden Revolution and especially the Hecker uprising of April 1848 should not be missing, as Kandern was Hecker's last night 's camp before the battle on the Scheideck . A sheet of paper from the Kandern paper mill enables the connection to Johann August Sutter, who was born here and then helped draft the constitution of the US state of California .
