Newly added:
- Worms Terra Sigillata : The term Terra Sigillata actually describes red-glazed, stamped pottery from the Roman Empire , which originated in Arezzo . With the expansion of the Roman Empire , however, it was gradually produced throughout Italy and also in the provinces ( Rheinzabern ). You can find them everywhere where the Romans left their mark.
- Worms Terra Sigillata GmbH : The operations manager of the ceramic works Offstein and Worms AG Jean Kling (1878–1946) was so fascinated by the Roman terra sigillata that he tried years of experimentation to produce a similar ceramic. In September 1937, he finally registered a patent for a process for the production of pottery with a velvety sheen that looks like terra sigillata. In 1949, the Terra Sigillata factory in the city of Worms started production. The production program initially comprised decorative ceramic objects and ceramics based on Roman models. Utility ceramics were added later and the range of decorative ceramics was expanded to include wall plates, wall masks and figurative objects. The production of Terra Sigillata was discontinued in the 1980s due to a lack of demand.
Craft trades
Craft trades such as basket makers or cane mat manufacturers made use of natural raw materials such as willow or reed from the wetlands of the lowlands. The reeds were cut, stored in round balls and dried until they were made into mats with string and weights. The finished mats were then used as building material in houses, plastered with clay, to insulate the walls. Therefore, the museum of local history has taken on the ecological and aesthetic landscape appreciation of the natural living conditions of plants and animals.
natural reserve
Nature conservation and inventory of native fauna and flora is the focus of the natural history department with its many animal and plant preparations. Based on archaeological finds, the spectrum goes back to the prehistory and early history of the area. The way in which people benefited from the Old Rhine area is conveyed not least in the Department of Culture , Customs and Crafts.
