In and in the nearby Krahnberg there are several monuments dedicated to the Arnoldi family. The "old" Arnoldi monument was inaugurated on the second anniversary of Ernst Wilhelm Arnoldi's death, May 27, 1843, on the then Erfurter Platz. On the initiative of the "Association for the Foundation of an Honorary Memorial for E. W. Arnoldi", the classicist monument was designed by court building director Gustav Eberhard (1805 - 1880). The "old" monument adorned the square, which had been renamed Arnoldi in 1858, for 166 years. In September 1969, the monument had to make way for the widening of the road and the relocation of the tram from the old town. As the reconstruction of the monument was promised, the construction debris was dumped at Siebleber Schloss Mönchshof. Since the "old" Arnoldi monument was considered lost or irreparable, the call for a new honor arose immediately after 1990. On the 150th anniversary of Arnoldi's death, the "new" Arnoldi monument was unveiled on Arnoldiplatz at the end of Erfurter Straße. The seated bronze figure is a work of art by Prof. Göbel from Halle.

This very well-preserved windmill is accessible and can be visited directly, but not inside. It's visible from afar and is signposted throughout the village.
