The Jockgrimer Hinnerstädel is an oasis to linger and dream, finely cleaned half-timbered houses, one after the other, a separate district with a church. The "Hinnerstädel", characterized by historic half-timbered houses, impresses with its idyllic flair and has given many artists a permanent home. This district is the oldest surviving part of Jockgrim.

Jockgrim Brickworks Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

In today's center of the new Jockgrim. It is only open on Sundays from 2pm to 4pm. Ring kiln and administration building more often.

The partially preserved ring kiln, originally 90 meters long and six stories high, was the largest in Europe at the time, is integrated into the basement of the modern administration building of the municipality of Jockgrim and is accessible.

South of the building you can see one of Ludovici's inventions: a spherical house made of steel.

Brickworks Museum Jockgrim

Highlight • Historical Site

The museum is located in the last remaining part of what were originally five Ludowici brickworks. Beautifully restored, it's a highly recommended museum. Here, you'll learn about the brickworks' former Europe-wide importance, as well as much about the history of Jockgrim, which was significantly shaped by the brickworks during that era. Remnants of what was once the largest ring kiln in Europe can be seen here. Among many other things, the double-lap tile, now used almost exclusively worldwide, was developed here.

If I could only pick one highlight for the newer part of Jockgrim, it would be this!

Next to this interesting building (south of the old brickworks) in the newer part of Jockgrim, the foundations of a Roman bath were discovered. An inscribed stone marks the spot.

Path Over the Stream

Highlight • Trail

nice trail for mountain biking. Route is easy to drive on but partly overgrown with nettles. If you are not that sensitive or have long clothes you should stop by here, highly recommended.
