Buttenheim, Deutschland - The Sparkasse Bamberg has set a great sign on the occasion of its 200th anniversary and supported the support association of the Levi Strauss Museum in Buttenheim with a donation of 501 euros. This is another step in the promotion of regional culture, which should not only strengthen the connection to the history of the region, but also duly appreciate the 25th anniversary of the museum. The Levi Strauss Museum is reminiscent of the life of Levi Strauss, born in Buttenheim in 1829, who went down in history as the inventor of jeans. Fränkischer Tag reports that the head of the museum, Tanja Roppel, thanked for the grant and its importance for cultural exchange emphasized.
Andreas Geist, head of the Buttenheim office, was pleased with the support of the museum. This donation is not only a financial contribution, but also shows that Sparkasse Bamberg has a good hand for regional projects that preserve the cultural heritage. You can learn a lot from the history of Levi Strausss - not only through his entrepreneurial success, but also about his roots in Buttenheim, where it all started.
A look at the museum
The Levi Strauss Museum, where visitors receive an insight into the cultural history of the jeans and the personality of Levi Strauss, is in good hands at his location, the founder's birthplace. Strauss, who was still known as Löb Strauß at the time, emigrated to the USA in 1848, where he later successfully managed a wholesale business with his brothers. In 1853 he opened a clothing business in San Francisco, and the partnership with Schneider Jacob Davis produced the legendary jeans, which are now an integral part of the fashion world. More information about the museum can be found on Long John .
There are a variety of exhibition days in the museum. On the ground floor, the life story of the Levi Strauss and his emigration to the United States is told. The second floor is entirely dedicated to the history of the jeans and the milestones of Levi Strauss & Co., while the development of jeans from the decade of the 1940s to modern styles can be viewed on the top floor. In addition, there is a cinema room in which classics of jeans commercials are shown and a room for changing exhibitions.
