The Pasta Centre

The open production facilities of the reconstructed pasta factory at Teigwaren Riesa GmbH is not your garden-variety tourist attraction, but surprisingly informative. You can experience firsthand how spaghetti is made during a 90 minutes guided tour of the production facilities. Most people do not know how delicious pasta is made. The open production facilities tell you all of the secrets and a little bit more about quality pasta.

And for history enthusiasts, the First German Pasta Museum tells you the history of the pasta noodle and how Teigwaren Riesa GmbH got where it is today. That includes historical pictures from production, old machines, and advertising posters from long ago and a lot of the products from times long past. It recreates its history right before your very eyes.

Local History Museum

Riesa’s Local History Museum has been in the former artillery barracks at Poppitzer Platz since 1923. After a complex set of repairs since 2007, it has been returned to its former glory with state-of-the-art design. Riesa’s Local History Museum emphasizes an educational and event-oriented approach and experience in its exhibitions. The museum not only offers guided tours on special topics such as Riesa’s Convent, the history of Riesa’s settlement and regional development to the beginning of industrialisation. It also has a wide range of projects and events available to school classes, clubs, companies, class reunions or family celebrations. Especially popular is the historical school class of 1900 with Miss Nebel, the class teacher.

There are regular guided tours of the convent from May-October where you can learn a lot of interesting facts on this historical building. Another highlight is the annual guided tours by moonlight where lay actors perform the fascinating drama of Riesa’s history at various authentic venues.
