Dresden mill

The Dresdener Mühle (also: "Bienert'sche Hafenmühle") is a flour mill at the Alberthafen in Dresden 's Friedrichstadt district .

Until 1945

The mill was built from 1912 to 1914 as a reinforced concrete structure according to plans by the architects Lossow and Kühne for the Bienert company (→ Gottlieb Traugott Bienert ), which also operated other mills in Dresden . The reason for the new building was the planned expansion of a line of the Royal Saxon State Railways through the grounds of the Bienertmühle Dresden-Plauen . Since grain was already being imported from overseas at that time, the location at the port was close.

When it opened, the Hafenmühle was one of the most modern mills in Germany. The harbor mill had a mechanical system for the transport of the grains and the grinding process, which normally made manual intervention superfluous. Sprinkler systems and electrical fire alarms were used as modern fire protection .

The mill's silo tower is 63 meters high.

After 1945

The mill was hardly destroyed in the Second World War . Milling could be resumed as early as 1945. The mill was initially run privately in the GDR .

In 1958 the mill became a state-owned company . In the course of the restructuring of the GDR economy, it was transferred to public ownership in 1972 like all large companies . The mill thus belonged to VEB Mühlenwerke Dresden as Operation II. In 1984 the mill received a new technical system.

In 1990 the company was reprivatised and "Dresdener Mühlen GmbH" was founded. The Dresdener Mühle has been part of the PMG Premium Mühlen Group since 1991. In 2003 the Dresden subsidiary was renamed "Dresdener Mühlen KG".
