Lindenberg im Allgau

Among the towns of Bavaria, Lindenberg im Allgäu stands out for its historic straw-hat industry. Set in the rolling Westallgäu foothills north of the Alps, it belongs to a region shaped by pastureland and long-established small-scale crafts. Hatmaking brought Lindenberg particular importance from the 19th century onward, a legacy documented at the Deutsches Hutmuseum, which follows the process from straw plaiting to finished headwear. Its position on the western side of the Allgäu, near Baden-Württemberg and Austria, sets it apart from the larger Alpine resorts.
