The ruins of Guben's town and main church are among the most remarkable buildings in Gubin. It was first documented in 1324 as a late Gothic town church. In 1945, it was destroyed by fighting and burned down. Since then, the ruins have stood as a memorial against war. A Gubin foundation and the Guben Friends' Association, led by Günter Quiel, are committed to rebuilding the church as a German-Polish meeting center. Security measures and the clearing of the interior have been completed. Presumably due to a lack of funds and political support, reconstruction is progressing slowly.

Unfortunately, I fell into the same trap today and planned my return trip over the bridge, only to discover with horror that the stairs no longer existed... which unfortunately meant another significant detour via Gubinek... It's a shame it's no longer there.

The Neisse Bridge near Coschen is a modern structure that has connected Poland and Germany since 2014. Rebuilt with EU funding, it is a symbol of European unity. Its futuristic design is a striking eye-catcher that leads not only pedestrians and cyclists, but also cars across the river. Despite its practical use, the bridge remains quiet, ideal for a break or a photo on the Neisse cycle path. For many Eisenhüttenstadt residents, it is a popular crossing to get cheap fuel or buy cigarettes in neighboring Poland, which sparked some discussion on the German side when it reopened

The old port of Guben was brought back to life in 2014 and is now an idyllic place to linger. A historic trolley invites you to take a leisurely break or have a picnic. The elevated warehouse and the long edge of the port are reminiscent of the times when ships docked here until the beginning of the 20th century. A replica of an old mooring brings the history of the port to life. Located directly on the Oder-Neisse cycle path, the port offers an interesting stopover for cyclists and walkers.

As the Lausitzer Wandersmann already wrote in 2022, but just as a reminder...the Red Stairs no longer exist.
