Geithain local history museum
Discover the charming history of Geithain in our cozy local history museum! The historic building, which was once inhabited by linen weavers, is located in the heart of the picturesque town center. The two connected residential buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries have been home to our fascinating permanent exhibition since 1995.

Let yourself be inspired by exciting topics such as the origins and development of the town, Geithain as a garrison town, the tradition of marksmen and the history of the local pharmacy trade. Find out more about the crafts in old Geithain and discover the famous Geithain enamel.
Special exhibitions and hands-on stations: Our changing special exhibitions always offer new insights into a wide range of topics. Particularly important to us are stations to marvel at, experience and participate in, which will make your visit to the museum unforgettable.
