Lichtenfels, Germany, the city of "Flechtkultur"

kurt:...now it's still empty, but at the third weekend of September this is the place to be for the famous Lichtenfelser Korbmarkt. A unique mixture of international specialty market for wicker products, courses, events and international wickerwork designers. More on https://www.korbmarkt.de/

kurt:Very interesting museum showing you the history of basketweaving, locally and worldwide. Includes a small shop where you can by related books and locally produced baskets. Very friendly people.

kurt:In the stadsmuseum we saw an exposition of an artist combining painting and willow. As being a former basket weaver the result was exceptional. The program of the museum change very frequently. Certainly you'll notice some of interest. The museum is on walking distance of the city centre.

kurt:....every time we visit Lichtenfels we frequent 2 providers of all basketweaving stuff. Andreas is one of them. You'll find not only willow, but also tools, wooden frames, wheels...etc...Don't forget to also go down stares...

kurt:... during the weekend of the fair you can always visit the exposition of the students and other beautiful objects. On Saturday evening of the event you can find almost every basketmaker here to grab a bear, something to eat or just have a talk.

kurt:.... during the fair, just free up time to visit the regular exhibitions on first and second floor. From there you've a wonderful view over the city if Lichtenfels.
