The Black Forest Costume Museum (de|Schwarzwälder Trachtenmuseum) is a museum in the convent building of the former Capuchin abbey in Haslach im Kinzigtal in the Baden-Württemberg county of Ortenaukreis in south Germany.[1]
The museum was opened in 1980 in the renovated buildings of the abbey. It portrays the history and development of traditional folk costume in the Black Forest and its surrounding regions.[2]
The museum houses some of the most important original costumes from the following regions:
Over 100 life-size figures are displayed with many charming details for special occasions and from everyday.[3]
Influenced by the respective zeitgeist and fashion trends, by prosperity, poverty and denominational ties, the individual costumes of the Black Forest in the 18th century all have their own twist.[4]
The old Capuchin monastery (built 1630–32), which houses this collection of costumes, is the only completely preserved baroque monastery of the Capuchin order in all of southern Germany.[5]
