View of the open pit and the dreary lunar landscape. Hard to imagine that this wasteland can one day become a living natural paradise and recreation area.

The historic city center of Peitz impresses with its closed image: squares and street spaces are well-proportioned, the town hall with a Tudor-style window in sight stands out only discreetly from the surrounding town houses. In the 16th century, strategically located as a Brandenburg enclave in Saxony, a fortress with its own ironworks was built. The well-known Peitzer ponds were used for fish farming, but also for defense purposes. The former fortress trenches are still recognizable from the fortress tower in the course of the road today. Outside the old town are cloth mills and an old ironworks from the industrial era.

Peitz Fortress Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

In Peitz, there was a castle complex that dates back to the 13th century. In the mid-16th century, Johann V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Neumark, commissioned the conversion of the castle complex into a citadel (Oberfestung). The conversion took place between 1559 and 1562. Essential parts of the former castle are located in the Generalturm of the fortress (Festungsturm). Between 1590 and 1995, extensive fortifications were built around the city (Unterfestung). Renowned fortress architects of European standing such as Chiramella, Arkanat, and above all Lynar were involved in the construction.
During the Thirty Years' War (1618 – 1648), the fortress town offered protection to many nobles and church dignitaries. Even the Brandenburg Elector Georg Wilhelm moved his seat of government to Peitz in the winter of 1637/38.
In 1767, King Frederick the Great ordered the demolition of the fortress. Nevertheless, Peitz still possesses valuable remnants from the fortress era today. The most significant structure is the Festungsturm from the 13th/16th century.

This Festungsturm now serves, among other things, as a registry office.
