Amtsgericht Bleckede (Historic District Court)

Highlight • Historical Site

Until the separation of jurisdiction from administration, the Second Official of Bleckede resided in this neoclassical building, built in 1810.

In 1852, the District Court and the court prison moved here. After the dissolution of the Bleckede district in 1932, the District Court moved into the castle in 1933.

In 1930, the prison was closed, but the cells were used to hold police prisoners until they were remodeled in 1973.

The inscription "District Court" can still be seen above the entrance, as can the engraved elevation "24.3 above No. 0" on the left window.

Bleckede Castle Tower Observation Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is only a fragment of the origin from the 15./16. Century. But you have cleverly put a steel structure in it, so the tower is not attacked further and the lookout tower gets in the long term stability. A magnificent view over the landscape worth the short climb necessarily!

Biosphärium Elbtalaue

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is more than just a country castle. Here is the tourist information office, Café Fritz and the Biosphaerium. The Biosphaerium includes the aquarium, the beaver house and the observation tower. Entry costs €7, it's worth it. The observation tower can only be accessed via the Biosphere.

The castle is the location of various events.

Bleckede Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful city on the Elbe with castle.

After the fall of Henry the Lion, the Welfs lost the end of the 12th century, the disposal of the Elbe crossing Artlenburg and trade routes Bardowicks. Bleckede was therefore founded in 1209 as a city by Duke William of Brunswick and Lüneburg as a new trading center under the name Löwenstadt / Lowenstat on the Elbe. The name chosen in memory of Henry the Lion did not prevail. The place name Bleckede is probably due to the old Germanic "Blek-ithi", blek and -ithi here mean bright, free, bright spot, and originated from the former German and Wendish settlement Bleketsa and Slavicum Bleckede
