Website | EmailOffenbach has been the mainstay of Germany's leather industry since the late 18th Century. Founded in 1917, the Leather Museum documents the history of leather production throughout the ages. As well as learning about the different techniques of leather making, visitors can also visit an exhibition which illustrates the many uses of leather. Articles on display include ancient leather wall coverings, medieval boxes and Goethe's original hat case as well as contemporary products and modern works of art. The museum also houses an ethnological exhibition and a shoe museum containing items ranging from a Roman soldier's sandals from the 1st century AD to the latest high heels.
