Weißgerbermuseum Doberlug-Kirchhain, Technology museum in Doberlug-Kirchhain, Germany.

Weißgerbermuseum occupies a white-tanning workshop at Potsdamer Straße 18 that operated from 1753 to 1947. Its eight exhibition rooms, designed in their thematic layout by the Finsterwald painter and graphic artist Horst Bahr, hold a historic show workshop, a shoemaker's workshop with journeymen's room, and a collection of Doberlug and Kirchhain pewter guild vessels. A separate technical exhibition at Gerberstraße 42 runs a complete production line of working tanning machines.

The Weißgerbermuseum occupies a tannery that operated from 1753 to 1947. In 1811 Kirchhain's tanners founded their own guild, and by 1849, with 48 master tanners, tanning was the town's largest trade. The building was placed under monument protection in 1958 and opened as a museum on 26 May 1963.

The museum holds leather and pelt samples from five continents, ranging from mouse to elephant hides, revealing how craftspeople applied different techniques worldwide. These materials show the variety of resources artisans transformed into everyday goods across different cultures.

The museum is open on Tuesday through Thursday and offers guided tours by advance reservation. It is helpful to contact ahead to arrange a visit time and learn more about what the exhibition covers.

The museum includes a functioning tannery production line with complete equipment alongside the historical workshop. This demonstration area shows visitors the entire manufacturing process in a working environment.
