Stoob Pottery Museum
The pottery museum Stoob is in Burgenland Stoob in the main street 85th
Stoob is a long street village with some still preserved Streck- and Hackenhöfe. Since the 17th century is the seat of a Stoob Hafner guild, which uses the presence of clay. In 1754 was Prince Paul II. Esterházy a guild order issued. Around 1880, a potter worked in every second house with a small farm as a sideline. In 1938 there were still twelve Hafner united in the guild.
Noteworthy is the Stoober Plutzer , that is a cider jar that shows a relationship to prehistoric ceramics with a burned-on pattern of white spiral lines.
On Hauptstrasse 85 there was a so-called semi - economy . The potters Johann and Susanne Felber lived on the street side, the Paul and Sophie Hoffmann families lived in the back. Both houses were bought by the Raiffeisenbank in 1978. A bank was built on the Felber family's property and a pottery museum was set up in the Hoffmann family's living quarters. The kiln in the garden, in the antique style with a vault made of pots and pans put together, has been restored. The pottery museum was opened for the 750th anniversary of Stoob in 1979.
There has been a state technical college for ceramics and furnace construction in Stoob since 1956 . The increasing prosperity and tourism brought a new upswing for the pottery trade with the art of free turning on the potter's wheel.
