The Steintor in Wittenberge is the city's oldest landmark, first mentioned in 1297. Rebuilt in its current form after a fire around 1430, it was the northwestern exit of the fortified city. The tower, formerly called "Alter Turm" (Old Tower), served as a prison in the 19th century and has housed a local history museum since 1928.

The Historic Locomotive Shed in Wittenberge is a railway museum located on the grounds of the former railway depot and is one of the most important of its kind in Germany.

The Historic Wittenberge Locomotive Shed is a worthwhile railway museum located on the site of the former Wittenberge railway depot. With a history spanning over 160 years, Wittenberge was once one of the largest depots of the German Reichsbahn (German State Railway). The Berlin–Hamburg railway line opened in 1846, establishing Wittenberge as an important railway hub. The first depot was built in Wittenberge in 1872. The depot was expanded in the 1930s and became one of the largest in the region. Deutsche Bahn closed the depot in 1997. In 2012, the site was taken over by the Wittenberge Railway Depot Foundation for museum use. This involved the restoration and conversion of the locomotive shed into a railway museum. The museum's exhibition includes over forty historic rail vehicles, including seven steam locomotives, one electric locomotive, four mainline diesel locomotives, ten shunting diesel locomotives, and other exhibits such as small cars, freight cars, and service cars. Steam Days and locomotive parades are held regularly, where the historic vehicles can be seen in action. The museum also offers cab rides and workshop tours. The museum is open on weekends and special holidays. The Wittenberge Historic Locomotive Shed offers railway enthusiasts and interested parties a fascinating insight into the history of the railway and the development of the Wittenberge railway depot.
