Pottery has been an important tradition in the region surrounding the town of Kohren-Sahlis for quite some time. The small half-timbered house in the Baumgartenstraße, which was built in 1763 and has contained the town's Pottery Museum since 1961, was once home to one of the region's 14 potteries. The potter's fountain created by Kurt Feuerriegel in 1928 also serves as a reminder of the region's close links to the art of pottery.

The museum provides insights into pottery between the 16th and 20th centuries. Visitors can view an original pottery studio in the form of a combined living room and workshop. The museum also hosts regular special and sales exhibitions, as well as offering porcelain painting and salt-dough moulding activities for groups of children.
