Trachtenforschungs- und Beratungsstelle des Bezirks Schwaben

The Trachtenforschungs- und Beratungsstelle des Bezirks Schwaben works from the Landauer-Haus in Krumbach, a town in the Schwaben region of Germany. The gable-fronted house dates from 1801 and has kept much of its original fabric. It is one of the few surviving Jewish homes in the area, named after the horse trader Löb Raphael Landauer.

A unique dormer with a sukkah gable rises above the roofline: a traditional hut still stands in the three-storey attic. Some parts of the facade may remind you of buildings by Joseph Dossenberger. Together with the Rixner-Haus and the building of the Mittelschwäbisches Heimatmuseum, the house ranks as a cultural monument in Schwaben.

Its structure was at risk until a renovation between 1997 and 1999 secured it. Since the renovation, the house has been the district's centre for traditional costume research and advice. The crossing of two main roads outside was once the heart of Hürben, an independent village that joined Krumbach in 1902.
