Description
Actually, the area surrounding the Swabian town of Bönnigheim is known for wine-growing. But the town's oldest building is about something completely different: it is home to the Swabian Schnapps Museum, which presents Germany's largest museum collection of objects relating to the history of spirits. Stills from different periods and cultures are on display. You can also learn about the old custom of afterbirth burial.
