Lichtenrade malt house, Architectural heritage monument in Lichtenrade, Germany.

The Lichtenrade malt house is a protected industrial building with multiple stories and large windows spread across about 3,100 square meters of floor space. The rooms now house a library, music school, adult education center, and children's museum.

Built in 1897–1898 for the Schloßbrauerei Schöneberg A. G., the malt house was designed by government architect Wilhelm Walther on farmland beside the Dresdener Bahn. It used Josef Nikolaus Galland's pneumatic drum process, received 28 freight cars of brewing barley daily and produced 60,000 hundredweight of malt a year. After grain rationing following World War I ended malting, the main building served as a warehouse, was seized by the Wehrmacht in 1933 and later held part of West Berlin's senate reserve. It was listed as a monument in 1984 and renovated from 2018 to 2021.

The brewery's emblem on the west gable carries the proverb "Hopfen und Malz, Gott erhalt's", a motto of German brewers. Since 2021 the building has housed the Edith-Stein-Bibliothek, the Leo-Kestenberg-Musikschule, a Volkshochschule branch with its own teaching kitchen, and a children's museum on the sixth floor for ages 6 to 13.

The malt house stands at Steinstraße 41 in Lichtenrade, beside the Dresden railway line; the S-Bahn station Lichtenrade is a short walk away, and since 2020 Bahnhofstraße ends as a cul-de-sac at the tracks. The building is entered from the surrounding Lichtenrader Revier quarter, whose four new apartment blocks, supermarket, daycare centre and small swimming pool were built around it.

The brewery's emblem survives on the west gable: a sandstone coat of arms with carved figures and the saying "Hopfen und Malz, Gott erhalt's". Inside, two pieces of the original malting equipment were kept during the 2018–2021 conversion, the "Heiße Sau", the heating that dried the barley, and the screw conveyor.
