The Black Forest Costume Museum (German: Schwarzwälder Trachtenmuseum) is a museum in the convent building of the former Capuchin abbey in Haslach im Kinzigtal in the Baden-Württemberg county of Ortenaukreis in south Germany.

Contents

The museum was opened in 1980 in the renovated buildings of the abbey. It portrays the history and development of traditional folk costume in the Black Forest and its surrounding regions.

A host of traditional costume was developed in the Black Forest for farmers as well as for townsfolk. The Black Forest is thus one of the most important regions in Germany for learning about local costume.

The museum houses some of the most important original costumes from the following regions:

  • Central Black Forest
  • Southern Black Forest
  • Northern Black Forest (Foothills on the Upper Rhine Plain)
  • Black Forest perimeter
  • Ried
  • Breisgau
  • Markgräflerland
  • Over 100 life-size figures are displayed with many charming details for special occasions and from everyday.

    Themes

  • Bonnets and hats, e. g. the Bollenhut
  • Bridal crowns (Schäppel)
  • Civic dress
  • Work clothing
