The landscape, formed by glaciers and rivers over thousands of years, has been transformed by agriculture and, more recently, by gravel extraction. The exhibition of the museum (Ortsmuseum) shows this process up to and including the recultivation and return to nature of the gravel quarries with areas for nature conservation, viticulture and arable farming. The Ritz & Söhne hat factory produced men’s and women’s hats until 1959. A hat workshop shows the straw hat production of the time.
