Freyberg Brewery and Gasworks

Highlight • Monument

Located directly on the banks of the Saale, the former Freyberg brewery still exudes a special charm. The architecturally remarkable building complex dates from the end of the 19th century and thus from the time of the economic heyday of the city of Halle. In the mid-1930s, the brewery was one of the largest private breweries in all of Germany. Up to 100,000 hectoliters of beer were produced in 1931.

Like many other production facilities, the brewery was nationalized after the Second World War and continued to brew under changing names until 1993. Then, unfortunately, the company was shut down.

In the meantime, some outbuildings have been demolished. In the next few years, apartments with a view of the Saal will be built in the walls that still exist.

Halloren and Saline Museum, Halle (Saale)

Highlight • Historical Site

Salt production in Halle dates back to the Bronze Age. The surviving buildings show how the salt was extracted. Schausieden festivals take place here every year. The origins of the buildings date back to 1719 to 1721. The small narrow-gauge railway next to the museum brought the required brown coal to the factory for boiling.
