A fascinating collection of everyday objects (telephones, typewriters...), mostly from the former GDR. (N)ostalgics will find it difficult to find their way out of here.

The devil also seemed to have had a hand in shaping the landscape in Mühlberg and the surrounding area. In contrast to Lusatia, nothing here is built on coal, but on lots of sand and gravel. And this is particularly high quality and is loved by civil engineers. They installed it, among other things, in the Berlin city highway and in the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie.

On the bank, a sign that cannot be reached by hand reminds us of the historic flood level of 2002.
