Wheat Glass Museum Nuremberg

The wheat glass museum in the Nuremberg district of Laufamholz is a museum operated privately by Walter Geißler. The aim is to preserve old wheat beer glasses from closed breweries for future generations.

The collection includes around 4,500 wheat beer glasses from around 1,300 breweries around the world with a regional focus on southern Germany . In addition to the collection of glasses, beer mats, bottles, labels and signs - some of them made of enamel - with a reference to wheat beer can be viewed . Utensils and objects related to glass production and brewing, such as a 50-liter two-device brewing unit , complete the collection. A small wheat beer brewery is attached to the museum, in which their own wheat beer varieties are brewed.

In 1986 the museum received an entry in the Guinness Book of Records under the heading Collections for its collection .
