The planned museum basically stands for the “Glass industry at Rennsteig” which decisively influenced the success of the region”, said Carl-August Heinz. The special exhibition shows a nearly forgotten very interesting glasswork history in the district of Kronach. In the year 1906 approximately 800 people were working in the two glass factories in Tettau and Kleintettau while in Stockheim there were already 400 workers. “It is important to learn from this history” meant the company boss.
