April 14, 2026, Mittelberg Observation Tower

The viewing tower on the Mittelberg near Nebra is 30 meters high and can be climbed free of charge via 176 steps. It was erected in 2007 and is located directly at the find site of the famous Nebra sky disk. The tower is tilted by 10° and serves as the pointer of a sundial.

At the site where the Nebra Sky Disk was discovered, a 30-meter-high observation tower now stands on the Mittelberg mountain. The modern tower is tilted 10° and oriented north-south, like a sundial hand. It provides a view of astronomically significant points such as the Brocken and makes Bronze Age celestial observations more comprehensible. The tower symbolizes the interplay of heaven, earth, and humanity—then as it does today—and is freely accessible to visitors at all times.

A great photo opportunity. Great for history buffs. Right next door is the beautiful Untstrut Valley.

The Protestant city church of St. Lampert is dedicated to Saint Lambert of Liège. The three-aisled hall church, built between 1475 and 1523, was damaged in several city fires but was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1643, General Königsmarck had the upper part of the tower demolished because it likely threatened the castle's security.

In 979, a document first mentions a "Castellum." Querfurt has had a castle since then at the latest. The town itself was first mentioned in documents about a hundred years earlier. The castle was the ancestral seat of the noble lords of Querfurt, who for centuries were also burgraves of Magdeburg. With the death of Bruno XI of Querfurt in 1496, the noble family died out. The castle proved impregnable until 1640, but changed hands several times during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). The Swedish occupation lasted from 1642 to 1650. In 1663, the princes of Saxe-Querfurt made the castle their residence and Querfurt the capital of their domain.
