The gingerbread tray never smells sweeter than at Christmas…
Family workshop
At the City Museum, everything currently revolves around prefabricated housing. In our workshop, we’re bringing the »Platte« into the festive Christmas season: using gingerbread dough, we’ll create standardised gingerbread »Platten«, which will be baked and then decorated with icing, nuts and colourful sprinkles. Whether to enjoy yourself or as a unique Christmas present – here, architecture becomes delicious!
