Bicycle museum Dresden, Transport museum in Old Town, Dresden, Germany
The Fahrradmuseum Dresden was a small private exhibition of historic bicycles run by the association Fahrrad-Veteranen-Freunde Dresden 1990 e.V. It occupied a permanent gallery in the Umweltzentrum Dresden on Schützengasse in the Wilsdruffer Vorstadt district, near the KraftWerk energy museum and the Zwinger state art museums. The gallery was dissolved after being damaged in the 2002 Elbe flood, and the room has served as the association's meeting place since August 2003.
On 23 March 1990, the working group for bicycle history was founded in the Putjatinhaus in Kleinzschachwitz, within the IG Radverkehr of the GDR's Kulturbund. That same year it opened an exhibition room in the Umweltzentrum Dresden. On 20 April 1996 members founded the association Fahrrad-Veteranen-Freunde Dresden 1990 e.V., which moved into a new exhibition gallery there two years later; after the Elbe flood of 2002 damaged it heavily, the gallery was dissolved and the room has served as the association's meeting place since August 2003.
The association researches and documents the corporate history of various bicycle manufacturers, and its collection extends beyond bicycles to auxiliary motors, accessories, advertising materials and literature. Since 1991 it has held a multi-day special exhibition each year in the Stallhof.
