The very unusual - and perhaps somewhat cumbersome - term "Tüötten", to which the museum is dedicated, refers to merchants or traveling salesmen. In earlier times, the men of Mettingen traveled to the near and far world to earn some money. The merchant trade developed, for example with linen.

The lovingly furnished Tüötten Museum in Mettingen aims to keep the memory of the Mettingen linen merchants alive. Their history goes back over 400 years: from Mettingen, the traveling merchants brought high-quality linen to the Netherlands and later to northern and eastern Germany as well as to the Baltic states and Scandinavia.

The museum vividly presents the living culture of the traveling merchants. In addition to a very extensive collection of furniture, everyday objects and old customs, pictures, exhibits, maps, documents, books and equipment recall the time of the industrious merchants.

Descendants of the Tödden, the wandering merchants, established the local history museum in the Gasthof Telsemeyer. There you can find out more about the history of the Tödden.
