Amberg Email Cookware: How a Kitchen Classic Conquered the World
On Sunday, April 4, 2027, the Amberg City Museum invites the public to a guided tour about the history and international success of Amberg's Baumann email cookware. Together with Klaus Haußmann, visitors will discover how an extraordinary material and kitchen revolution emerged from glass on steel.
A City Tour Through Amberg's Industrial History
The approximately 60-minute tour connects local history with industrial heritage. The focus is on the products of the Baumann company, which developed into a global success at the turn of the 20th century. Highly awarded products, distinctive shapes, and the combination of practicality and industrial production made Amberg email cookware internationally renowned.
Glass on Steel: Material History to Discover
Email combines a steel body with a glass-like protective layer. This material combination gave kitchenware a robust, hygienic, and characteristic surface. During the discovery experience, it will become evident why email cookware played an important role in households, large kitchens, and companies for decades.
Baumann and the Global Success from Amberg
The tour takes you deep into the business and economic history of the city. The Baumann brothers founded their company in 1872 in Amberg. The lion emblem became the trademark of the products and accompanied the international success of Amberg email cookware. Historical exhibits vividly illustrate the transition from simple everyday items to special individual pieces.
With Klaus Haußmann on the Trail of a Kitchen Revolution
Klaus Haußmann shares the story of email cookware from the perspective of an experienced email collector and connoisseur of Baumann products. This includes not only shapes and decorations but also manufacturing processes, product variety, and the significance of the company for the industrial development of Amberg.
Conclusion: Industrial History That Lives on in Everyday Life
This city tour at the Amberg City Museum turns a seemingly everyday material into the key for an exciting journey through time. Visitors can expect a cultural enrichment with historical insights, authentic objects, and stories about inventiveness, design, and international trade.
