Glass works Harz Crystal

In Derenburg, not far from Wernigerode, is the glass workshop of "Harz Crystal". The glassworks was founded in 1949. In the 60s, the glassworks became affiliated with the University of Art and Design in the castle Burg Giebichenstein in Halle. From 1993 until it's privatisation in 2004, the glassworks was owned by the State of Saxony-Anhalt.

Visitors may take a tour and see how glass is produced using traditional methods in a hut oven. Even in a consumer world traditionally manufactured glass products can still be purchased here.

During the summer months the glass workshop opens up it's outdoor areas for family events. The adventure playground "Glass Magic Land" is probably one of the most beautiful playgrounds in the Harz region.

The meeting and event space "Glass Orb" provides an ideal venue with a very special ambience for your company or family event.
