The Kannenbäckerland (German pronunciation: [ˈkanənbɛkɐˌlant]; 'potters' land', lit. 'jug bakers' land') is a cultural landscape in central Germany, which extends from Wirges in the Westerwald hills to Bendorf and Vallendar in the Middle Rhine valley. The Kannenbäckerland owes its name to the fact that, in this region, the largest clay deposit in Europe was found and, since the 16th century, has been used to make the well-known grey and blue Westerwald Pottery.
