Dresdner Fußballmuseum, Football museum in Pirnaische Vorstadt, Dresden, Germany

The Dresdner Fußballmuseum occupies an exhibition area in the VIP section of the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on Lennéstraße, home ground of Dynamo Dresden. Its roughly 10,000 objects, almost all from the private collection of museum director Jens Genschmar, cover Dresden football across the 20th century: tickets, some 4,000 match programmes, photos, certificates, specialist magazines, pennants, shirts, posters, trophies, flags and pins. Among the pieces are the only surviving German national team shirt from before 1933, Reinhard Häfner's gold medal from the 1976 Summer Olympics and Dynamo Dresden's first championship certificate from 1953.

Jens Genschmar began collecting Dresden football objects in the 1980s. The museum opened on 12 May 2006 in the former youth library on Hauptstraße in the Innere Neustadt. It closed at the end of 2010 when the building was demolished in January 2011, and in November 2011 it found a new home in the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on Lennéstraße in the Pirnaische Vorstadt.

The collection began with Jens Genschmar, who has gathered Dresden football objects since the 1980s; he is the museum director and a Dresden city councillor. Among the items are around 4,000 match programmes and 40 complete annual volumes of the magazine "fuwo". A football cinema showed historical matches of Dresden teams.

The exhibition area sits in the VIP section of the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on Lennéstraße and is shown during the regularly offered historical stadium tours. Registration at the stadium is required for these tours, and individual tours can be booked for groups of 10 or more.

The institution preserves the only surviving German national team football jersey from before 1933, a rare testimony to the country's early sports history. This piece belongs to a collection of around 10,000 historical objects rarely seen together in one place.
