Electoral Saxon Post Milestone (Berggießhübel)

Highlight • Monument

In Berggießhübel there was a column on the market since 1727, but it was destroyed in the night of flooding from July 8th to 9th, 1927. In 1957 a copy was rebuilt with the original coat of arms of a Meißner distance column. The coat of arms of the original column was recovered from the Gottleuba in 1977 and is currently on display in the Lauenstein Castle Eastern Ore Mountains Museum in Lauenstein.

St. Peter's Church (Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel)

Highlight • Religious Site

During the Middle Ages the Christian community in Gottleuba belonged to the Archdiocese of Prague; It was not until 1425 that the church patronage fell, at the same time as the place was incorporated into the feudal estate of the Wettin dynasty to the Margraves of Meissen. The border location of Gottleuba and the passing trade route to Bohemia may have given rise to the construction of a protective fortification early on, for which the spur location of today's church square with its steep slopes was particularly suitable.
Even today, there are numerous traces of this past on the building and its surroundings.
Protestant services, times according to local notice.

Open Church May 1 - October 31, Wednesdays 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.

Church tours possible, appointments in the event calendar of Bad Gottleuba.-Berggiesshübel or on request at the Tourist Information Bad Gottleuba by phone 035023 511 35.
