Long night of museen_From the ear of corn to the gingerbread heart

The Ebner Confectionery invites you to the "Long Night of Museums".

A “foam mill” will be set up on-site for a practical demonstration of grain milling. Visitors will see how grains are ground and can be taken out in various milling stages.
 
In addition, oat grains will be processed into oatmeal using a flaker – a process that guests can try themselves, tasting the freshly flaked oats.
 
Since a key component of the Lebzelter craft is of course bee honey, a beehive will be imitated: honeycombs will be explained and the extraction of the honeycombs will be demonstrated.
Bees are one of our most important foundations of life, as they pollinate over 80% of our flowering plants, thereby securing our rich food supply. 
Of course, honey will also be explained and demonstrated as a food, sweetener, remedy, and medicine.
 
In this area, our honey gingerbread comes into play:
A wonderful gingerbread dough will be kneaded and also baked for the pleasant aroma.
A spice and scent school featuring whole and ground spices from around the world, which are used in our honey gingerbread, will enchant all the senses.
 
Moreover, we will have a diverse selection on display, showing how fruits were preserved in the past: through drying and canning. It can be impressively observed that a dried fruit loses its color pigments through natural drying, yet the flavor 
of some fruits becomes even more intense, allowing them to be wonderfully processed further in winter.
 
In the second bakery, guests will have the opportunity, under professional guidance, to decorate a prepared gingerbread heart themselves.
It will be demonstrated how much effort and time is taken to turn each piece into a unique work of pure handcraft according to old tradition.
 
With old Lebzelter wooden molds, handcrafted cookie cutters, and historical paper images used to decorate gingerbread, a colorful, vibrant bakery world is created.
In this bakery, mixers are still being used today, which have been in operation for over 100 years – an impressive testimony to a living craft tradition.
 
The program is rounded off by the demonstration and explanation of a fluffy yeast dough, as such has always been something important.
