In 2009, the market and festival square on Bahnhofstrasse was redesigned. In this context, a historic cast-iron street pump from 1878 was painstakingly restored and converted into a fountain at the edge of the square. The water outlet is shaped like the head of a dragon or mythical creature, bubbling water into a stone basin. The handle is now purely decorative. A few meters from the fountain, there is a water outlet onto the square, from which the water then flows into the Plumpengraben (ditch), which emerges from an underground canal at the southern end of the square.

The building of today's Humboldt-Gymnasium, located at Bahnhofstrasse and the corner of Humboldt-Strasse, was constructed in three distinct phases: 1899, 1910, and 1927. The individual building sections embody the respective architectural concepts of each construction period. Paul Egeling built the core structure in 1899 in the Neo-Gothic style. Between 1909 and 1910, the building was expanded in a more austere Neo-Gothic style, and in 1927 in the Expressionist style. The central entrance from Humboldtstrasse, adorned with elaborate terracotta decoration, is an absolute eye-catcher. The entrance door is flanked by two pilasters bearing terracotta capitals with foliate wreaths. Above the two tall, rectangular windows with diagonal, intersecting mullions above the entrance, a nude child is depicted reading. Between the first and second floors, five reliefs adorn the street-facing façade. The first depicts painting and drawing, music, singing, and sports; the second depicts botany and is intended to convey the blessings of work; the third depicts the natural sciences, astronomy, and geography. The two remaining motifs symbolize the saying "Movement brings blessings." Source: https://heimatarchiv.eichwalde.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/02-Denkmale-in-Eichwalde-1.pdf

The Old Fire Station was built in 1898 and housed the volunteer fire department until the new building opened on Goethestrasse. The old building forms an architectural ensemble with the Humboldt Gymnasium. Starting in 1994, the building underwent extensive renovations. For this purpose, it was demolished down to its foundations and completely rebuilt in keeping with the original. Since 1996, the Old Fire Station has served as a cultural and exhibition center in the center of Eichwalde.

The town hall was built in 1906. Renovations and additions were made in the late 1930s, giving the building its plain, gray exterior. With restoration in the 1990s, the exterior facade took on its present form with the addition of a ceramic mosaic wall in the shape of an oversized oak tree, completed in 1999. The oak tree (the coat of arms of Eichwalde) was designed by the artists Lutz-Werner Brandt and Reinhard Jacob. The ceramic tiles were financed by several local businesses and residents of Eichwalde.

The foundation stone for the church building was laid on August 25, 1912, and after only about a year of construction, the consecration took place on August 10, 1913. The rectory was ready for occupancy in 1914. The architect for both buildings was Clemens Lohmer from Leipzig. St. Anthony's Church in Eichwalde was built in the neo-Romanesque style as a Brandenburg brick building and is one of many churches that Lohmer designed for the Catholic Church and that were erected under his direction. Above the church rises the 33-meter-high bell tower, whose roof is covered with copper and whose spire is adorned with a cross. The lower central center of the tower facade forms a richly decorated round-arch portal under a triangular pediment with a Greek cross. The area below the round arch and above the double-sided entrance door is decorated with a mosaic depicting Christ blessing. Above it is inscribed: "COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY DUTY."

The simple hall church (around 1800 probably a plastered brick building in Baroque-Classical style) on the market square (1903–1920: Friedrichsplatz) was succeeded in 1903 by the much larger St. Christopher's Church, due to the significant increase in population. On November 13, 1972, the tower of St. Christopher's Church was destroyed by Hurricane Quimburga. The falling gables killed a 64-year-old woman and tore 25-square-meter holes in the church's roof and vault. To temporarily secure the tower, the spire was secured with steel cables. The spire, which was in danger of collapsing, was demolished three days later and replaced with the gable roof structure that still stands today.
