Stein-Man is located in the south-western part of the German Westerwald, a heavily eroded district bordering
the Rhein river with elevations ranging from 200 to 400 meters. For centuries it has been famous for its clean
clay deposits and Indeed, the name for this small region is the "Kannenbäckerland" or “Pitcher Bakers Land”,
a reference to the traditional ceramic industries that flourish here. The most productive area of stoneware and
beer steins in the Westerwald include the small towns of Hoehr-Grenzhausen and Ransbach-Baumbach, it is
here that the beer stein production can be traced as far back as 1525. Numerous stein, stoneware and glass
companies are located in this unique region. With its college campus for technical and ceramic design and
also the home of the largest museum for ceramics in Europe, it counts today as the all time champion in the
design and production of German classical, contemporary and technical stoneware items.
