Dresden mill, Gristmill in Dresden, Germany.
Dresden mill is a brick gristmill in the city that reaches 63 meters in height. The structure consists of multiple levels and houses grain processing equipment.
The building was constructed in 1913 during a period of strong industrial growth in the region. It became part of the expansion of grain processing in eastern Germany and contributed to Dresden's industrial development.
The mill shows how industrial buildings in the early 1900s were constructed with careful attention to their appearance. Visitors can still see the solid brick walls that were typical for grain processing facilities of that era.
The mill stands in Dresden's industrial district on Waltherstraße and is accessible on foot from the main railway station. The heritage-protected building is visible from the outside and stands out prominently in the surrounding streetscape due to its height.
The construction used techniques that were completely standard for large industrial buildings of that era, yet it still displays details that reflect the precision of craftwork from that time. Those who look closely can see how each level was carefully designed for the work processes.
