The subject of this thesis is German culture of bread. It is explained in three ways. The first one is about symbolism of bread and museification of its culture based on the example of the first museum of bread in the world - Museum der Brotkultur ( Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany). By founding this museum, the process of culture heritageizationis being done on the local level which is ethnographically shown by presenting the museum through the thesis. On this level of discourse, we are able to give a possible answer to the question of who does determine and define the heritage. The second level of explaining the subject of this thesis is based on UNESCO's definition of intangible heritage which in 2014 was the main base for German bread culture being declared on the national level. The third and last level is summary of both first two and UNESCO's intension for cosmopolitization of the world heritage which makes a clear separation between a state as observed political community and its heritage. From this point of view, it is questioned, taking in view German culture of bread, if an element of national heritage identity is separable from the territorial connection.
