Preussische Spirituosen Manufaktur, Spirit manufactory in Wedding, Berlin, Germany

The Preussische Spirituosen Manufaktur is a spirits and fruit brandy production facility in Wedding that combines historical and modern distillation equipment. The site works with traditional methods to create both regular products and small batch editions released periodically.

The facility originated in 1874 as a research station for the Institute of Fermentation Industries under Professor Max Delbrück's direction. From these scientific beginnings, it evolved into a production center that bridges distilling traditions with contemporary practices.

The name comes from the manufactory's affiliation with the Prussian state at its founding. Since 2008, Theo Ligthart has run the art project Das Korn in cooperation with the PSM. Sanssouci liqueurs, made with rose, quince and elderflower, carry labels showing drawings of the bacchantes from the facade of Sanssouci Palace.

The facility is located in the Wedding district, and visitors should check opening hours in advance as they may vary by season. Planning ahead and allowing time to explore the site properly will enhance the experience.

The museum holds the Drogenduftorgel, a fragrance organ developed by Ernst Dobislaw (1903–1984), who revived experimental liqueur production at the site in the 1950s. It gathers scent and flavour substances from blossoms, herbs, roots, barks and seeds used in distilling. The organ is not from 1874; many other devices do survive in their original 1874 condition and remain in working order.
