The largest factory building in Glashütte, which has been a listed building since 1983, was built in 1861. It underwent changes during the 1950s, including the installation or extension of cooling furnaces in various places. As an important functional building in the monument ensemble, the Neue Hütte has an impressive facade with large metal lattice windows.
In the 1990s, the Glashütte e.V. association renovated the facade and the collapsed roof, which is why the factory was closed in 1980. Today's museum in the Neue Hütte was opened in 2000 and tells the story of the 300-year history of the site. On the upper floor, the museum also uses older exhibits to convey interesting facts about the 3,000-year-old glass culture and cultural life in the factory settlement since 1716. Practical glass culture is cultivated in the glass studio, where a glassmaker cultivates the intangible cultural heritage of manual glass production during opening hours. The Neue Hütte is open to the public as a museum and glass studio. Source: baruther-glashuette.de/rundgang/nr-21

In the former production rooms of the "Neue Hütte" built in 1861, visitors immerse themselves in the "world of glass". We tell of the 300-year history of the location and the 3000-year tradition of glass culture.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is the oven hall. This is where the tank furnace with the solidified glass block inside, which was used until the plant was closed, is located.
On the upper floor, an exhibition provides information about the history of the Baruth glassworks (1716-1980), the social life of the glass workers' families and also interesting facts about the physics and chemistry of glass. In addition to lighting glasses, the specialty of the Solms'sche Glasfabrik Baruth/Mark, the museum also shows glasses from other glassworks from the periods of antiquity, the Middle Ages, early modern times, industrialization, modernity and the studio glass movement [source: museumsdorf-glashuette.de/museum /]
