In Salzwedel, an 11.5-meter-high natural gas flare commemorates the history of natural gas production in the Altmark region. It stands by the indoor swimming pool and was ceremonially unveiled in May 2017. The flare represents decades of natural gas production, particularly by the former VEB Erdgasförderung Salzwedel during GDR times. On August 17, 1969, natural gas from the Altmark region flowed to Magdeburg for the first time. Subsequently, the production area developed into the second largest in Europe. The natural gas field in the Altmark – one of the largest natural gas deposits on the European mainland. While the monument commemorates the tradition, the company Neptune Energy is currently carrying out backfilling work on the former gas well Altensalzwedel 151 south of Mahlsdorf, which was in production until 2022. 📜volksstimme.de

The former border tower near Hoyersburg is one of the most striking relics of the German division in the Altmark. It is located directly on the federal highway B248 between Salzwedel (Saxony-Anhalt) and Lüchow (Lower Saxony). The tower was part of the GDR border fortifications. In contrast to the simpler observation towers, the structure in Hoyersburg was a so-called command post (FüSt).
