Built letters disappear from the cityscape. Globalisation and standardisation are displacing regional, traditional businesses, retail shops and handcrafted lettering. Individual and high-quality shop inscriptions disappear from our view and from that of our customers. Consciousness – if we don’t preserve it. This task is taken over by the Buchstabenmuseum.
They collect, preserve and document the literal signs of past epochs. They created a lovely place of remembrance, but also of impulses for current discussions and offer starting points for dealing with trade, advertising and urban history, with language and words, typography, design and craftsmanship.
