My subsequent visit to Langerwehe was a bust. The [Töpfereimuseum](https://www.toepfereimuseum.de) is closed for renovation (rebuilding?) and the interim exhibition was not yet ready.

I did have a brief talk with the resident potter (quite a nice shop actually). And he told me that while Raeren made stoneware for export, Langerwehe served local markets mainly.

So back on the list it goes

This brought me to a visit to Raeren. With the car, because that exceeds my abilities (80 km one way). And because I passed it, I also visited Langerwehe.

First Raeren is pronounced with a long a (Raaren). Second, it is a German speaking bit of Belgium. Nothing to do with world wars though, it was part of the Spanish Netherlands.

Anyway, Raeren. There is a **very good** [museum](https://www.toepfereimuseum.org) with an also **very good** website.

The museum is in the castle.

And here we find also some of the tools of the stoneware trade, namely [molds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(process))

And the stoneware that could be made with molds.
