Bismarck Tower Rathenow

Highlight • Monument

Neo-Gothic style monument
The Bismarck Tower in Rathenow

The people of Rathenow had a special relationship with Bismarck, since Bismarck's political career began here (he held election speeches in Rathenow in 1848/1849 and, due to his election success, became a member of the second chamber of the Prussian House of Representatives on February 5, 1849).

Otto von Bismarck had already been made an honorary citizen of the city of Rathenow in 1875.

Resurrection Church at the Old Cemetery

Highlight • Religious Site

The Auferstehungskirche, originally inaugurated in 1917 as a cemetery chapel, lost its spire during the fighting in 1945. It took 70 years until the new top was set up on the 24th of March this year.

Rathenow Schleusenspucker Monument

Highlight • Monument

I found the group of figures very well done by Mr. Roth.
I find it original that every few seconds a real speuz is spat into the water by the right person.

Monument to the Great Elector

Highlight • Monument

The Great Elector Monument was built between 1736 and 1738 to commemorate the successful battle of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg against the Swedes.
It shows the Great Elector in the costume of a Roman emperor on a pedestal to which allegories and battle reliefs are attached.
The Schleusenplatz - the location of the monument - was once used as a parade ground by the stationed military.

Rathenow Lock House

Highlight • Structure

Various weirs and locks are located in the Havel arms, lock canal, Rathenower Havel, weir arm Hinterarche, weir arm Vorderarche, secondary arm Hellers Loch and Stadtkanal. Together, they form the Rathenow barrage. From 1548 to 1559, a boiler lock was built in Rathenow, thus guaranteeing a continuous passage for shipping. At the same location, the first city lock was built in 1732 as a chamber lock. The lock had wooden gates until 1977.
