Tips from the Community
The marketplace in Frohburg is a feast for the eyes with beautifully renovated facades, the Roten Hirsch, the magnificent town hall and the Centaur Fountain. The Centaur Fountain is an ornamental fountain in the middle of the Frohburg marketplace, which was erected in 1899. The 1.06 m high structure was created by the Dresden sculptor August Hersig and depicts a centaur (half human, half horse) in a fight with the threatening Lindworm (Greek mythology). The fountain is made of solid bronze, was to be melted down for armaments in World War II, but was bought by private individuals and thus saved. In 1953 it was discovered in a Leipzig garden and brought to Frohburg. In 1998 it was extensively renovated.

Since 1233, the church, first mentioned, has been part of the town of Frohburg. The oldest part of the church, presumably the sacristy, dates from this period. In 1582, the pastor at the time handed over the church's rich landed property to the patrons. In 1877, the church was completely redesigned inside and out in the Neo-Gothic style. Only the organ from 1806 was preserved. In 2002, the chancel was painted and the spire was renovated and re-roofed. A valuable bronze epitaph can be seen at the church's tower entrance. It shows the builder of Frohburg Castle, the jurist Dr. Melchior von Kreutzen. Together with the reformers around Luther, he organized the legal affairs of the Reformation in the region. The chancel contains nine oil paintings of the Frohburg pastors from 1613 - 1849. The largest oil painting hangs on the south wall of the nave and depicts the "Resurrection of Christ". It is by the painter Thieme (1869 - 1877). The Paschal candlestick next to the altar is by the famous ceramic artist Kurt Feuerriegel.

The beach, which is accessible from all points via the circular path, is partly natural and partly prepared for bathing with sports and games. In many places, small steps have been newly created from the circular path down to the water, and there are many fishing spots and benches with a view.
