Klötzelleinen is a coarse linen weave fabric of Leinenwerggarn . It is mainly used as an interlining material in textile clothing. There it is mainly used for jackets, costumes, small parts, coats and waist stiffeners.

Klötzelleinen also serves as a painter's canvas. Another typical use is as a cover for tailor ironing pads, which are used, for example, to iron out sleeve balls. Also for the relining of Fellvorlegern mainly Reinl einenes Klötzelleinen was used in the past, usually surrounded by a jagged, protruding edge of felt.

Formerly a classic fabric for prison clothes was Klötzelleinen (English: unbleached and unfinished calendered linen - unbleached and not equipped calendered linen) with standardized setting of the warp and weft threads (for example, 16 × 16 threads per centimeter, Nm 12 × 12 in warp and weft ). In addition, it was woven from coarse linen as lining and interlining material (12 × 12 threads / cm, Nm 14 × 14, depending on the density up to Nm 23). Usually it is traded in a natural bast color.
