Museum Hofmühle Dresden, Industrial heritage museum in Plauen district, Dresden, Germany.
Museum Hofmühle occupies a corner building with an octagonal chimney across four floors. The spaces display collections of milling technology and regional history, complemented by specialized exhibitions on local craftsmanship and industrial heritage.
The Hofmühle was founded in 1568 under the Wettin dynasty and initially served as a production site. After Gottlieb Traugott Bienert purchased it in 1872, the building developed into a significant industrial and commercial center.
The collection displays objects from regional craftsmanship traditions, including historical chocolate molds and tin boxes from the Anton Reiche collection. Visitors can understand how these items shaped local artisanal practices and what role such products played in the region's economy.
Visiting requires advance planning since the museum has limited opening hours on specific days. On-site guided tours help you better understand the building's history and its collections.
A special exhibition features seven large suitcases that document different phases of dancer Gret Palucca's life. This unusual presentation brings a notable artist's biography to life and connects artistic practice with local cultural heritage.
