The Bavariab Forest has always been a provider for glass production.
Despite a raw climate, hard lives in the woodlands and a volatile income,
the glass maker´s determination was rarely daunted and continues on, to this day.
Consequently, the Bavarian Forest is now known as Europe´s center of glass; and
it is here, where the traditional skills of glass making have been
carefully nurtured and therefore add to this unique culture.

Joska Crystal is situated in the climatic health resort of Bodenmais, the heart
of the Bavarian Forest. The name Joska is an abbreviation for Josef Kagerbauer,
a name connected to glass for generations. Already in the 18th century the
Kagerbauer family owned a “glasshut” in Bodenmais. Presently, Josef Kagerbauer Jr.
runs Joska Crystal. Joska Crystal combines the Traditional Handcraft
of the Bavarian Forest with Modern Design.
