NARRENSCHOPF
Lively, colorful, and visually stunning
Located in Bad Dürrheim´s spa gardens, the privately run Swabian-Alemannic Carnival Museum “Narrenschopf” features around 300 jester figures, mainly from Baden-Württemberg and German-speaking areas of Switzerland, housed under its three characteristic domes. Built in 1973, the museum is located in the center of the territory of the Union of Swabian-Alemannic Jester Guilds (Vereinigung Schwäbisch-Alemannischer Narrenzünfte, VSAN) and boasts an exhibition area of 1,200 square meters, very likely the largest of its kind.
Since 2014, the Swabian-Alemannic Carnival has been listed on the national list of intangible cultural heritage sites.

CLUB
The Bad Dürrheim Jesters Club (Verein Narrenschopf Bad Durrheim e.V.) was founded in 1980; in 1981, it took over operations of the Carnival Museum Narrenschopf, which had previously been operated by Kur- and Bäder GmbH Bad Durrheim.
In 2008, the Jesters Club took over ownership of the museum as well, with an acute awareness of the increased responsibilities that come along with this.
