Bürgel and its surrounding villages still boast a unique density of artisan pottery workshops. Together with the Bürgel pottery market and the Ceramics Museum, they contribute to the town’s continuing reputation as »Thuringia’s pottery town«. The size and character of the individual pottery workshops varies. However, they still produce the traditionally popular blue and white pottery, complemented by a wide variety of new decors and designs.

A visit to the Ceramics Museum can be conveniently combined with a stroll through the pottery shops.
