PORZELLAN MANUFAKTUR NYMPHENBURG: WATER POWER

Even today, all mechanical equipment at the listed and protected buildings of Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg is powered by the water which runs from the estate's stream just as it was in the 18th century. The water drives the activities through a system of belts that ranges throughout the grounds: mills, mixing vats, potter's wheels and so on. Because this kind of power can be easily dosed and is simple to maintain, but also mainly because converting to modern technologies would mean a break with the authenticity that resides in each item of hand-made porcelain from Nymphenburg, staying with water power is an expression of a conscious commitment towards quality and tradition.
