THE WESTERWALD IN GERMANY

One of the schools in the area is the Fachhochschule Rheinland-Pfalz / Koblenz / Fachbereich Keramik , which is a polytechnic. Here future engineers are trained in the materials technology and process engineering of ceramics. The Keramischen Zentrum incorporates a few schools for ceramic education at different technical and artistic levels, among which the Staatliche Fachschule fur Keramikgestaltung . 

The reseach centre Forschungsinstitut fur Anorganische Werkstoffe - Glass / Keramik - GmbH not only carries out research but also offers services to companies. Here anyone wishing to do research and possibly set up a company in the area can rent accommodations. 

In the near future a now disused ceramic factory site will accommodate the KeraTechCenter . This building will offer similar accommodation facilities to starting entrepreneurs. 

In the leaflet Keramik auf der Spur of the Tourist Information Centre in Hohr-Grenzhausen you can find four circular walks from the Keramik Museum . All walks lead past ceramic workshops and companies which produce various products, both functional as well as artistic. With the help of the book Keramik, ein Leitfaden durch das Kannenbackerland you can find clay pits or producers of heat-resistant systems and ceramic machines
