What role did Jewish citizens play in the economic life of our city? How did they shape trade, finance and industry during the German Empire and the Weimar Republic?

Selected items from our collection, now displayed in a new context, shed light on the contribution made by Jewish manufacturers, bankers and businesspeople to Dresden’s economic development and tell the story of a life firmly rooted in the heart of society.

The tour takes place in the museum café – with a view of the display case for new acquisitions. Light refreshments are provided; coffee can be obtained from the vending machine if required. In this relaxed setting, the City Museum is launching a new tour format that brings history to life through conversation.

• Guided tour free of charge (plus museum admission)
• Duration: 1.5 hours

In the city museum we discover prefabricated buildings - these are houses that consist of many identical concrete slabs and were built in many cities. Then, using LEGO® bricks and a lot of imagination, you will transform such a prefabricated building and its surroundings into new, good living environments! All the ideas will then be shown in a small exhibition.
