Beautiful lake with a circular path. This circular path is quite wide and 3/4 asphalted. The lake and forest resort is recommendable 👍

The fountain on the market square in Gräfenhainichen is the "Springbrunnen der Elemente". The figures of the water feature represent the elemental forces of fire, water, and wind.

Beneath the stairs, we discover two oval windows that may play a special role in the church's interior design in the future, as the Leipzig artist Robin Zöffzig has created designs for these two windows, some of which have already been implemented for exhibition purposes. Under the title "non est hic" ("He is not here!"), the Easter story is depicted. In one window, the angel is shown with these Latin words. The other window shows the three women who came to the tomb on Easter morning to mourn and anoint Jesus' body. Should these windows ever be installed, everyone entering this church would immediately be immersed in the events of Easter morning. Questions and inquiries, certainties and sources of strength arise in all their ambivalence: On the one hand: Why am I here? What am I seeking and expecting? What does resurrection mean to me? He is not here—not even here in the church? Where is he then? On the other hand: Jesus, the crucified one, has risen! Faith is not bound to "holy places," but is "freely available" in the faith-based dialogue between me and God. He is not in his tomb (non est hic), but he is in the world—alive among us—even here in the church! Source: https://www.ekmd.de/kirche/kirchenkreise/wittenberg/krina/schlaitz/marienkirche-schlaitz/
