Altenburger Brauereimuseum

The Altenburger Brauereimuseum is a museum in Altenburg that displays old brewing equipment, machinery, and documents about beer production. The collections show how the process of making beer changed over time.

The brewery started in 1871 and became one of the largest in Thuringia over the years. It went through different changes and ownership transitions until today.

The museum shows how beer was made in the region and what ingredients mattered to local brewers. Brewing was deeply connected to life in Altenburg over many generations.

This place is best visited with advance notice since visits are organized by request. Groups should ask about guided tours and may have the chance to taste beer.

The building contains an Art Nouveau brewery house built between 1913 and 1914. This architecture shows the industrial strength and wealth of that era.
