The Dresden Masonic Institute and its school flag from 1908
Short guided tour with Dr Kornél Magvas, Evangelisches Kreuzgymnasium
The flag of the Dresden Masonic Institute - one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the world - represents its own self-image, just a few years after moving to its new home in Dresden-Striesen. But what is depicted on the object? What do the symbols mean? And: What is behind the "secret society" of the Freemasons?
Every first Friday of the month, we focus on an object from our permanent exhibition: in short guided tours lasting a maximum of 20 minutes, museum staff, members of co-operation partners or people from the city community present the special features of a selected piece of Dresden's history.

An economic book from the time of hyperinflation (1922-1924)
Short guided tour with Dr Frank Metasch, ISGV
The hyperinflation of 1923 is still deeply rooted in public memory. The experience of rapid currency devaluation still fuels fears of similar developments today. The economic book of a Dresden family offers insights into this time of daily struggle for survival when even a tram journey cost several billion marks.

Wooden tube rides
Water supply in old Dresden
Short guided tour with Frank Männig, Stadtentwässerung Dresden GmbH
The supply of sufficient fresh water was not only vital, but also a sign of civilisational progress and prosperity! Many Bohemian pine trees were floated to Dresden, drilled out and laid in the streets. The starting points of the "tube journeys" were the water catchments on the Weißeritz and other streams or springs.
