Orangery and Tea House Altenburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The baroque courtly way of life called for entertainment appropriate to one's status outside of the official duties of representation. The palace park not only offered the ideal opportunity for this, but its design also contributed to the absolutist demonstration of power and self-portrayal of Frederick II and his successors. Another attraction of the tea house were the exotic plants, which could now be permanently housed thanks to the newly built orangery to replace the old greenhouses. In the warmer seasons, these noble plants not only decorated the gardens with the small pond in front of the orangery, but also found some space in the kitchen garden. (Source: teehaus-Altenburg.de)

Altenburg Palace

Highlight • Castle

The former castle was converted into a palace between 1706 and 1744. One of the most beautiful parts of the complex is the triumphal gate. The oldest part is the so-called "bottle", a keep from the year 1000. The castle houses the playing card and castle museum.

Landestheater Altenburg

Highlight • Monument

The writer Ingo Schulze worked as a dramaturge at the Landestheater at the time of the “Wende”; in his novel "Simple Stories" (1998) he tells in a painfully laconic tone how he experienced this time in Altenburg.
The theater is currently closed for renovation, alternatively there is the theater tent on the pond promenade.

St. Bartholomew's Church, Altenburg

Highlight • Religious Site

Since the Reformation year 2017 Georg Burkhardt, known as Spalatin as a life-size sculpture, can be found again on the wide stepped square in front of the church. The largely unknown reformer, without whose active help Martin Luther would hardly have survived, worked the last 20 years of his life at this church and is also buried here. It was he who organized the spectacular "kidnapping" of Luther to the Wartburg and is otherwise considered the "helmsman of the Reformation".

Altenburg Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

Altenburg's importance as a former residential and trading town is reflected in the extensive market square. Town and patrician houses from different eras blend harmoniously into one another and convey a southern flair. The structural dominant features are the centrally located town hall and the Brethren Church on the west side of the impressive square.

Altenburg Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Built between 1562 and 1564 under Nikolaus Grohmann, the town hall is considered one of the most beautiful Renaissance town halls in Germany. The outer shape would be provided with a variety of architectural details and plastic jewelry. Here the fortunes of the city have been steered for more than four centuries.
