Alte Brennerei Hille

From grain to grain: the journey of grain

In the former agricultural grain distillery of the Christian Meyer family, visitors can experience how solid grain becomes liquid grain. Grain has been processed here for almost 270 years to produce spirits, including the famous "Hiller Moorbrand". Accompanied by experienced museum guides, visitors embark on a fascinating journey through the individual stages of the distillery: from the grain floor, where the grain was stored, to the customs cellar, where the finished grain was given its final polish, all the production steps are impressively explained.

A glimpse into the past - the grain floor

A little journey through time is possible on the grain floor of the old distillery: here you will find a collection of old household utensils that bring back memories of earlier times. Between antique utensils and historical tools, the atmosphere of days long gone is created and visitors can immerse themselves in the world of their grandparents.

Cultural experiences in the boiler house

The Alte Brennerei is not only a place for technology and history lovers, but also a cultural venue. Events take place regularly in the Kesselhaus - a cozy atmosphere for concerts, readings and other events. These events create a lively bridge between the industrial heritage and modern culture and invite you to experience the historical ambience of the distillery in a new way.
