In the past, Nospelt was known far beyond its borders for its pottery. Between 1458 and 1914, many household utensils were made here from terracotta. Particularly popular with the children were the ceramic pipes made of clay in the shape of birds called “Péckvillchen”. The workshop of the last potter in Nospelt has been turned into a museum with a great exhibition of old ceramic art. The old potter’s wheel and the kiln from 1870 are still here, and an enthusiastic amateur potter shows how to make “Péckvillercher”. Afterwards, children can try their hand at it themselves.
