Discover Tussenhausen

Tussenhausen combines a documented local history with a tangible insight into traditional baking. Its history begins with a donation. A notable feature for trip planning is the Angelberger Back-Häusla; the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows is also one of Tussenhausen’s cultural attractions. Local history, craftsmanship and culture offer different ways to shape your stay.

Local history and the tradition of bread baking

The Angelberger Back-Häusla was built in Tussenhausen in 2003 through considerable volunteer effort and craftsmanship. The bakehouse has a stone oven based on historical models. Both the building’s history and the skills involved are part of this local story: historical models meet community effort here.

On scheduled baking days, residents can bake their own dough into finished bread in the stone oven at the Angelberger Back-Häusla. This baking practice adds a tangible connection to bread and craftsmanship to the history of the building. For families interested in regional food culture, it offers an engaging conversation starter when planning a trip.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows is also among Tussenhausen’s cultural attractions. It adds another cultural dimension to the town’s history and the Back-Häusla.
