    Tips

    May 26, 2025

    Jeans and the cult associated with them are the focus here. Since 2000, there has been a museum in Buttenheim in the birthplace of Levi Strauss, the "father" of blue jeans, which is dedicated to the history of this man and the garment he invented. The listed building at Marktstrasse 33 is also one of the oldest buildings in Buttenheim. Only a few people know that Levi Strauss, the inventor of the world-famous Levi's jeans, was born as Löb Strauß in Buttenheim in 1829 and lived here until his family emigrated to America. In his lovingly restored birthplace, the life story of Levi Strauss and the development and success story of jeans are explained in an appealing way. Using exhibits, audio images, installations and films, visitors learn all about denim, its blue color and the obligatory rivets.
