Experience Dießen's Pottery History Live: A Lecture Between Research, Craftsmanship, and Cultural Memory

The lecture series Seven Times Dießen takes you right into the intellectual and material history of the place during the anniversary year 2026. On July 15, 2026, Wolfgang Lösche M.A. will speak at the Cultural Forum Blaues Haus about the pottery trade in Dießen – a subject that goes far beyond local history and touches on early ceramic research as well as the identity of the market of Dießen.

An Evening for Literature, Culture, and History Enthusiasts

The lecture opens up the view to the discovery, research, and significance of the Dießen potters of the 17th and 18th centuries. The artisanal faiences particularly made the market regionally known at that time and inscribe Dießen into the cultural history of southern German craftsmanship. Those interested in historical narratives, regional traditions, and the connection between research and narrative mediation will find a dense, knowledgeable lecture format here.

The Beauty of Details: From Excavation to Historical Interpretation

The focus is on the archaeological excavations in St. Georgen, Am Kirchsteig 19, on the site of the ceramic workshop Loesche. From these findings emerges a nuanced picture of pottery production that not only makes artisanal precision visible but also highlights Dießen's cultural status in the 17th and 18th centuries. The earliest known German faiences from Dießen mark a milestone in ceramic research and give the evening a special scientific depth.

Wolfgang Lösche as a Knowledgeable Mediator

Wolfgang Lösche is a folklorist, art historian, and ceramist; his professional perspective combines scientific accuracy with cultural vividness. Sources about him also show that he is a long-time connoisseur of ceramics, crafts, and exhibition contexts. Thus, the reading promises not a dry lecture but a lively encounter with the author, where language, material, and local history come together in an illuminating context.
