Beautiful view of the Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful view of the Elbe from the dam - various species of birds can be discovered.

The Elbe is a Central European river that rises in the Czech Republic, flows through Germany and flows into the North Sea. Among other things, it drains a large part of eastern Germany and almost all of Bohemia, which is surrounded by low mountain ranges (Wikipedia).

Old Town Hall, Wittenberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall of Lutherstadt Wittenberg is located in the center of the old town on the market square. It was the seat of the Wittenberg city administration from the 16th century to the year 2000.

With the flourishing of the city of Wittenberg at the time of the Reformation, its population also increased. Therefore, the old original town hall was no longer sufficient for the requirements now given, so that starting from 1521 under the direction of Bastian Kruger with the preparations and from 1523 with the gradual construction of the town hall began. The construction was completed in 1541.

The clearly structured facade of the town hall has the characteristics of three stylistic epochs. While above all the curtain-arched windows of the first two storeys are still influenced by late Gothic, the gables and cornice strips indicate the actual period of origin, the Renaissance. In 1573, deficiencies in the building necessitated a reconstruction. The current entrance portal with its lush decor and the bell tower with the sinner's bell were added.

Martin Luther Monument (Lutherdenkmal), Wittenberg

Highlight • Monument

In 1805 the "Patriotic Literary Society of the County of Mansfeld" initially intended to erect a memorial to the reformer Martin Luther in Mansfeld. Friedrich Wilhelm III also wanted a dedication to be set up in Wittenberg after the wars of liberation. The foundation stone was finally laid in 1817 and the monument was ceremoniously unveiled on October 31, 1821. The figure was designed by Johann Gottfried Schadow (1805), the base by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the canopy by the Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
