Water Tower Sangerhausen

Highlight • Monument

The water tower with a capacity of several cubic meters was built over 100 years ago to supply steam locomotives with water.

The building survived two world wars largely unscathed. With the switch to diesel locomotives, however, there was no longer any benefit.

When exactly the last drop of water flowed there is not known.

Aschersleben City Wall

Highlight • Monument

One of the most important sights of the city is the medieval city wall. It represents one of the best preserved city walls in Germany. The defense structure can be easily explored on a circular route around the old town along the wall. The city wall is on average eight meters high and around one meter thick. It has a length of about 2.3 kilometers. 15 of the former 51 defense towers have been preserved to this day.

Tower at Marsfeld

Highlight • Monument

On the Augustapromenade near the Bestehornhaus, the "Turm am Marsfeld" stands to the east of the Aschersleber town fortifications. This approximately 26 meter high building with its approximately 1.50 meters thick walls and the stone helmet was built in 1443. The tower has a square plan and a platform with a battlement, which rises almost 20 meters above the ground. Beyond the city wall once extended the field of Mars - a large open area, which u.a. was used for military exercises. Today only a comparatively small part of the former Mars Field is known and known under the name "Herrenbreite". As part of a city tour you can also get to know the inside of the tower on the Campus Martius.

Historic Post Office Aschersleben

Highlight • Historical Site

Old Oberpostdirektion
It is a three-part structure. The palatial main building is built in Neo-Renaissance style. It has three corner towers; the elevated tower at the Gorch-Fock-Wall/Dammtorstrasse intersection carries a golden statue of Mercury. Since the first floor is low as the bel étage, the proportions of the building appear depressed. The building is decorated with several allegorical groups; the sculptures designed by Engelbert Peiffer refer to the postal service, the telephone and the telegraph. The building has four floors and a glass roof added later.
