Viewing Platform Old Waterworks Garrey

Highlight • Viewpoint

The project "Waterworks viewing platform in Garrey" was created as part of the competition "Our village has a future". The idea for this and the concept with an exhibition about the history of the water supply in Garrey and a small petting zoo were developed by the citizens of Garrey in a joint effort and realized with craftsmen from the area, also largely on a voluntary basis. In the tower itself everything is very well documented, also with pictures.

Rabenstein Castle (Fläming)

Highlight • Castle

A little south of the village of Raben lies the high medieval Rabenstein Castle. The castle was built in the 13th century using fieldstone and was intended to control the country road from Wittenberg to Brandenburg an der Havel. Today, the castle houses a restaurant and a small hostel. Knights' tournaments and other medieval themed events are also held here regularly.

Wide landscapes in Naturpark Fläming/Sachsen-Anhalt

Highlight • Cycleway

On the original R1, the route has now been given a super black surface, so that the old road surface, which was paved with terrible gravel and coarse gravel, is a thing of the past. That I could experience that again!!!

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.

St. Mary’s Town Church, Wittenberg

Highlight • Religious Site

At the south-east corner of the town church in Wittenberg there has been a mockery and mockery of the Jewish religion since around 1290. Abusive sculptures of this kind, which show Jews in connection with pigs - animals that are considered unclean in Judaism - were particularly common in the Middle Ages. ...The memorial below the abusive sculpture was unveiled in November 1988, fifty years after the beginning of the pogroms against Jews in Nazi-ruled Germany. The base plate, cast in bronze, shows four tread plates tilted against each other, which look as if they were laid in muddy ground. The joints form a sign of the cross. The surrounding text connects the inscription of the abusive sculpture with the Holocaust: "God's real name / the reviled Shem Ha Mphoras / whom the Jews before the Christians / held almost unspeakably holy / died in six million Jews / under a sign of the cross."

I think this is a very successful way of dealing with changed perspectives. No iconoclasm but visible distancing based on today's experiences.
