Laundry Day Like in the Old Days – The Old Washhouse in Neckargröningen
The Old Washhouse in Neckargröningen, located in Remseck am Neckar, demonstrates just how labor-intensive laundry was in the past. The former community washhouse vividly illustrates the tools and techniques used for washing in the past—from washboards and wood-fired wash kettles to the first electric washing machines.
The visit is made particularly authentic by museum guide Erika Müller, who, as Neckargröningen’s last laundress, shares many personal stories and memories. Original, well-preserved machines, historical laundry detergents, and numerous exhibits make the museum a special experience for visitors of all generations.
Local History You Can Touch—the Affalterbach Local History Museum
At the Affalterbach Local History Museum, guests are immersed in life around 1900. The former mayor’s house of the Kurz family has been restored with great attention to detail and conveys an authentic impression of everyday life at that time.
Historically furnished living rooms, kitchens, workshops, and numerous original objects show how people used to live and work. The themes of crafts, agriculture, and local history also play an important role. Particularly impressive is the wide variety of exhibits, which come from local residents and have been carefully preserved to this day.
