The pottery in Töpferhuus was founded in 1809. The Marburg “Dipperchen” are known beyond the borders. Decorative and utensils were made in the typical colors of reddish brown, brown, blue and green. Since the company was founded, many family members have made pottery to earn a living. In 1876, the company founder Johann Heinrich Schneider died, and his two sons Bernhard and Ludwig and finally his grandson Manfred, who had learned the trade in their father's business, continued the work.
Marburg is a pottery town, but unfortunately the pottery had to close its doors at the beginning of 2021.

It's a pity that the pottery in this building no longer exists.

One of the most beautiful half-timbered houses on Steinweg and the original home of Marburg pottery with a tradition spanning around 400 years. Known for its handcrafted "Marburg Dippchen" (small pots).
