The Roman pottery of Haarhausen was a pottery in Roman design, which was located in the corridor between the villages of Haarhausen and Sülzenbrücken on the southern edge of the Thuringian basin . In addition to shards , the archaeologist Sigrid Dušek uncovered three pottery kilns and the remains of buildings and facilities in 1979–1986. The finds are dated to the late 3rd century.

Based on the excavation results, a site for experimental archeology was set up on the western edge of Haarhausen , the main exhibit of which is a replica of a pottery kiln. It is also used for “courses in baking flat cakes on a hot stone, weaving fabrics and making fibulae as well as old handicraft techniques such as working stone, wood or bones”.
