Woad was cultivated as a dye plant to produce indigo blue. In Germany, woad has been cultivated primarily in Thuringia since the 9th century. The city of Erfurt achieved power and wealth as a center of the woad trade. The museum provides insights into this process. A replica of a millstone outside illustrates how the dye was extracted.
