In Europe's most beautiful glassmaking village, visitors can watch craftsmen at work and try their hand at glassblowing. “Glashütte” is written on the simple wooden signpost in the forest of the Baruther Urstromtal valley. Follow it and you will arrive at a very special place. Soon, the trees give way to a romantic settlement of simple half-timbered houses with red brick infill. It is a historic ensemble of workshops, the stately Neue Hütte (New Hut) from 1861, residential buildings, a school, and an inn. Time seems to have stood still in Glashütte.

The art of glassmaking has been at home here for 300 years. The industry flourished in the 19th century, when the town became Brandenburg's largest glass producer with the manufacture of frosted glass lampshades. At that time, lampshades from Glashütte hung in many Berlin salons. The “light metropolis” of Berlin employed 10,000 so-called belters and fitters around Moritzplatz, who fitted petroleum lamps with cylinders and shades made of glass from the Baruther Hütte. Did you know that Reinhold Burger, a glass instrument maker from Glashütte, invented the thermos flask in Berlin in 1903? After two world wars and three decades of planned economy, the factory had to be abandoned at its birthplace in the Mark Brandenburg.

Today, the Baruther Glashütte is enjoying a renaissance as the lively glassmaking village in Fläming. It is a unique European destination for experiencing manual glass production. In the listed ensemble, a dozen different artisans and traders run small studios selling handmade goods. A museum tells the story of glass production. Two cafés, an inn, and a wine salon invite visitors to sample regional and international delicacies. Several hosts offer cozy rooms for a short vacation.

Special exhibitions, holiday programs, children's and family festivals, miners' Christmas, hut evenings: the calendar of events is well filled all year round. In addition, there are wine seminars and courses on old crafts such as felting, soap making, pottery, blacksmithing, and, of course, glassblowing.

Tip: Stroll through the village Christmas market with its historic miners' Christmas, always on the first weekend of Advent.

For cyclists: Baruther Glashütte is located on the “Flaeming-Skate Rundkurs 8” and “Dahme-Radweg” cycle paths.
