Kaulsdorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schloss (Castle) Kaulsdorf was built on a rocky outcrop, the peak of which reaches up to 130 m to the Saale. Two old long-distance paths run on both sides of the spur, which meet below the castle (castle) and cross the river in a ford. It was this ford that prompted the Counts of Orlamünde to construct the building around 1150. Despite several conversions and additions, the medieval character has been preserved. Remnants of the rampart and moat delimit the complex to the north, while a defensive wall encloses the small courtyard to the south.
The castle is now privately owned.

Haus des Volkes Bauhaus Ensemble

Highlight • Monument

The Thuringian industrial pioneer Franz Itting, who had already built a power plant in Probstzella in 1909, commissioned the "Haus des Volkes" (People's House) in 1925. The socially minded entrepreneur wanted to create a cultural center for the region and enable "ordinary people" to enjoy high-quality cultural offerings. The building was constructed by the architects Alfred Arndt and Ernst Gebhardt as a hotel and multi-purpose hall by 1927. The interior was designed entirely by artists from the Bauhaus Dessau.

After the Second World War, the building was used by the GDR as a customs office, and the event hall hosted various performances and celebrations. In 1970/1971, the building was expanded to include a restaurant, which reopened after renovation in 2005. In addition to the hotel, the building houses a theater and concert hall, as well as the central exhibition on the origins of the German Green Belt. A Franz Itting Museum has also been located here since 2014.

Kamsdorf Visitor Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Historic building ensemble in the area of the replacement shaft 04 including the machine house, old mine management and district house of the Saalfeld-Kamsdorf mining district.

After centuries of copper and silver mining, iron ore mining, which began at the beginning of the 18th century, gained in importance in the 19th century and resulted in the establishment of the "Vereinigte Reviere Kamsdorf" union and, subsequently, in the founding of the Maxhütte Unterwellenborn as a branch of the Maximilianshütte in Sulzbach- Rosenberg. The Kamsdorf open-cast mine is still in operation today.

In the area of the historic mine there are regular underground tours including trips with an original mine train.

Starting point of the mining educational trail.
