The old "Bürgerhaus" burned down in 1558, and with it all documents were destroyed, as well as the awarding of the municipal law (between 1228 and 1239). The second building suffered the same fate. Rebuilt in 1695, in 1703 a fire in 1860 put the city in ruins. In 1713, the town hall was inaugurated in its present form.

The clock in the tower is a one-hand clock and displays only the hours. In front of the town hall is the bronze statue of the "Bretzeltante Anna Grieben". A 17th-century personality and benefactor of the city of Lenzen.

Charon sculpture on the Elbe dike

Highlight • Monument

"Charaon was created as the first major free work of art. The exploration of the theme of "Plowman and Death" blossomed here somewhat beyond the scope of the text. In the context of the theme of death, this vision of the ferryman to the underworld emerged. He has no skull-like face, he is not frightening, but very serious and dignified. Priestly in his appearance, he rather takes away the fear of the crossing. One does not doubt or despair of him. Almost benevolently, he takes us away, inexorably following the laws of eternity. I think everything will be alright on his chariot; the sickle is meant only for the body, not for us." Bernd Streiter, 1994
