The German Watchmaking School Glashütte (DUS) was founded in 1878 on the initiative of Karl Moritz Großmann in Glashütte and existed as the Engineering School for Precision Engineering Glashütte until 1992. The former school building now houses the German Watch Museum Glashütte.

Galshütte can look back on a long history as a watchmaking town - and even today, world-class watch manufacturers have their headquarters in the small town in the Eastern Ore Mountains.

In the German Clock Museum you can learn a lot about the long history and technology of mechanical clocks.
