Experience wool, craftsmanship, and the history of Erding up close

The activity meeting of the City of Erding invites seniors on Monday, October 26, 2026, to a special art experience at Museum Erding. The focus is on the exhibition about the historical Loderer craftsmanship. The meeting point is at 11 am at the entrance of the museum located at Prielmayerstraße 1.

A Journey Back in Time to the Golden Age of the Loderer

Andrea Grobitsch will guide visitors through the exhibition and provide insights into a craft that shaped Erding for centuries. About 500 years ago, a weather-resistant and durable fabric was produced here from sheep's wool, offering functional clothing to protect against wind, cold, and moisture. The Loderer were among the prominent craftsmen of the city and significantly contributed to its economic development.

From Sheep's Fleece to Durable Loden

The exhibition vividly illustrates the individual steps in the production of loden: from raw wool to carding, spinning, weaving, and fulling. Historical tools, models, a wool loom, and textile materials provide a sensory observation of the work. Fluffy wool fabrics, movable models, and the representation of the fulling processes make the exhibition atmosphere immediately tangible.

Participation and Cultural Education

The museum combines art historical communication with practical experience. Participants will get to try carding wool themselves and experience how a durable fabric is created from a natural raw material. This active engagement creates an aesthetic experience between material, technique, and regional history.

Museum Erding as a Living Memorial

Museum Erding is one of the oldest municipal museums in Bavaria and presents archaeology, city history, art, everyday culture, as well as Loderer and bell casting crafts in several departments. The exhibition on the Loderer connects historical objects with illustrative explanations and museum educational approaches.

Conclusion: A Sensory Art Experience for Curious Explorers

The activity meeting at Museum Erding combines regional history, textile craftsmanship, and communal learning. Those who want to learn how sheep's wool was transformed into an almost indestructible loden fabric will experience an informative tour with practical participation. Participation is free, but registration with Silke Hörold-Ries is required.
