HAARUNDKAMM is the only museum in German-speaking Europe that deals exclusively with combs as a commodity and cultural object, as well as their handcrafted and industrial production. Photos, tools, machines and the many products made in the factory document the tradition of comb making. Artfully crafted decorative combs made of horn, tortoiseshell and celluloid show the variety of luxury goods and everyday items produced. The workshop founded in 1792 developed into a comb factory in the 19th century, employing 400 workers in its heyday. Its illustrious clientele included the Spanish court and Queen Victoria. The history of the town and the comb-making tradition is brought to life in the ambience of the old factory. The exhibition is complemented by images and objects relating to hairdressing fashion. A hairdressing salon in operation forms a bridge from the past to the present.
