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.

A board-cutting mill existed here by the 13th century, making it one of Saxony's oldest mills. From 1295 it belonged to Dresden's clothmakers' guild and was rebuilt as a fulling mill. Elector August acquired it in 1568 and replaced it with a larger building, the Dresden Hofmühle, whose milling monopoly covered Dresden and 66 surrounding villages until the 19th century. Gottlieb Traugott Bienert leased it in 1852, then expanded and modernized it.

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.

The Palucca exhibition opened on 8 September 2007 on the building's third floor and came as a permanent loan from the Palucca School Dresden, which Palucca founded in 1925 and which remains Germany's only dance academy of its kind. The seven opened suitcases are modelled on her own touring luggage.
