A centuries-old folk art
Berchtesgadener Handwerkskunst is an institution of the district of Berchtesgadener Land. Its aim is to preserve and promote a centuries-old folk art that is threatened with extinction. As the main source of income for Berchtesgaden's wooden goods producers, the craftsmanship not only serves as an ideal presentation and sales opportunity for the goods, which are mainly produced as a sideline, but also advises the manufacturers in terms of craftsmanship and art. For example, painting courses are offered for the home workers to improve quality.
The Berchtesgadener Handwerkskunst store
The Berchtesgadener Handwerkskunst shop is located on the first floor of the former Fronveste in Markt Berchtesgaden. The house, built around 1510 between Marktplatz and Schlossplatz, served as a prison during the time of the prince prince-bishops and is now a listed building. In the store you can marvel at the extensive range of products: in addition to the well-known "Arschpfeifenrösserl", chip boxes and other traditional shapes, there are also modern pieces such as beer carriers and telephones.
Handwerkskunst also has a stand at the Berchtesgaden Advent, where you can buy Berchtesgaden Christmas tree decorations. You can also find a small selection of the Berchtesgadener Handwerkskunst range in our online store.
