Wolfen Industrial and Film Museum

The cradle of modern color film is in Wolfen near Bitterfeld. Here, at the source of almost inexhaustible deposits of raw materials, the world-famous Aktiengesellschaft für Anilinfabrikation (Agfa) produced the world's first universally usable multi-layer color film. You can follow the production of "Agfacolor-Neu" at the Wolfen Industrial and Film Museum at the original location with original machines. This is unique. Immerse yourself in the world of melting emulsions and huge casting machines, follow former employees through the corridors and experience a unique flair and the touch of a very special industrial romance. With over 800 collector's items, the museum is home to the largest publicly accessible collection of cameras and film cameras in Saxony-Anhalt. The exhibition on the industrial history of the Bitterfeld-Wolfen region provides information on the eventful history of the one of the largest industrial regions in Central Germany.
