Dessau Gate Tower

Highlight • Monument

In the east of the city is the Dessau gate tower, which was built in 1608. With a wall thickness of 1.65 m and a side length of 8 m, it is the strongest of the three remaining gate towers. Interesting on its north side is the machicolation (possibly it was also a "toilet"). This tower is also known as the rattle stork tower because a stork family raises its young here every year.

Aken Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall with the market square

The old town hall and the city archives were completely destroyed in the great city fire of 1485. As early as 1490, the city council decided to build a new town hall, which still meets the requirements of the time today because of its solid construction, simple beauty and practicality. The town hall, which is a listed building, was expanded in 1609 and renovated in 1907. It consists of a two-story plastered building with gables; to the south there are crossed decorative brick bands. Next to the entrance door in the interior are medieval symbols of crafts, trade and jurisdiction (butcher's knife, cubit, stone bushel, handcuffs). On the east side is the main entrance with the outside staircase, which is covered by a pillar-supported canopy. The Ratskeller (cross vault) was extensively renovated.

Fountain on the Market Square in Aken

Highlight • Monument

Market fountain

The city's founder, Albrecht the Bear, Margrave of Brandenburg, was one of the most influential princes in the 12th century. As a loyal ally of the emperor, he fought numerous wars to expand the empire. After the Wendenland had been completely subjugated, Albrecht called settlers from the Rhine and the Netherlands to the desolate areas on the Elbe, Havel and Spree, who founded cities such as Berlin, Cölln an der Spree and Aken.

The base inscription therefore reads as follows:

\"Market fountain\"\"We Albrecht the Bear Margrave of Brandenburg 1100-1170 founded the city of Aken near the stronghold of Gloworp.\"

With a cape, drinking cup and heraldic animal at his side, he is the typical ruler of his time. His power rests firmly on the shoulders of his soldiers.

Breitenhagen Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

The Breitenhagen ferry is a ferry connection on the Elbe between the towns of Tochheim in Zerbst/Anhalt on the east bank and Alt Tochheim in Barby on the west side. The owner is the city of Barby.[1] The ferry is a non-motorized yaw cable ferry, so it is powered by the current of the river. The ferry operates daily. The ferry can be used by pedestrians, riders, cyclists, cars, trucks, buses and agricultural vehicles. The prices for a crossing in 2018 were between 50 cents for a child and 11 euros for a semi-trailer.[2]

Ship Restaurant Marie Gerda

Highlight • Restaurant

Museum ship "Marie Gerda"
The museum ship "Marie Gerda" on the Elbe in Breitenhagen-Alt Tochheim between Aken and the mouth of the Saale in Saxony-Anhalt. It now houses a restaurant and a maritime museum

The "Marie-Gerda" is the last ship built at the Breitenhagen shipyard. It was commissioned in 1914 by the Breitenhagen Elbe boatman August Clemens. At that time the shipbuilding company belonged to the Kretzmann company. She began with the construction of the Plauer Maßbarge (a maximum reference size for being able to pass through the Plauer Canal). During the construction phase, the shipbuilding company went bankrupt. But the boat was already in the water and off the Helgen. So they had him dragged to Barby at night so that he wouldn't go bankrupt. The barge was finished in Barby, christened “Werner” and launched in 1915. Its cargo was grain, ores, coal, pyrites and other bulk goods.
