A rich and busy harbour and trading city in the 16th century, Arnemuiden

A statue of a woman carrying two buckets stands against a brick wall. A brick church with a tall steeple is surrounded by parked cars and bare trees on a cloudy day. A traditional windmill stands behind a brick building on a cobblestone street with a white van parked nearby. A peaceful riverside scene features a grassy path, moored boats, and overcast skies with houses in the background.

Slowly getting there

The first Cologne trading good I’m looking at is stoneware. It was produced in the wider area around Cologne from Raeren in Limburg down to Höhr-Grenzhausen in the Westerwald.

A hand-drawn map labeled Rheinisches Steinzeug features the Rhine various cities like Cologne and Siegburg, and dots marking locations such as Raeren, Frechen, and Höhr-Grenzhausen

The goods were traded from the Alter Markt in Cologne and went all over northern Europe and from The Netherlands and England to Africa, Indonesia, America (North and South) and to Australia.

My first trip went to Frechen, though I have to go back as I managed to miss the kilns.

Stoneware from Frechen

A Bartmannskrug, a bearded ceramic jug, with intricate designs is displayed alongside other pottery on a glass shelf.

The next trip will then probably go to Siegburg.
