Every month, visitors to the "sam - Stadtmuseum am Markt" choose their favorite piece from the collections at a multimedia station. In April, the choice fell on a milk churn.

Milk jug

This bulbous milk jug made of brass-plated metal with an ear-shaped overhandle comes from the "Rhein Hotel". The hotel opened at Rheinstraße 16 immediately after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and its restaurant "Deutscher Keller" was popular with guests. The room rates were six marks.
