St. Catherine's Church, Lenzen

Highlight • Religious Site

The foundation stone of this church dates back to the 14th century. In the years that followed, it underwent several renovations and alterations. After two devastating city fires (1646 and 1703), it had to be rebuilt. It was completely restored and renovated from 2004 to 2007.

The old high altar dates from 1652, and the baptismal font stands on four figures of St. Catherine, cast in bronze in 1486. The organ is a proud 311 years old.

Memorial stone for Dike Captain Wangenheim-Wake on the Elbe dike near Lenzen

Highlight • Monument

Adolf Freiherr von Wangenheim-Wake was the son of the monastery chamber director Hermann von Wangenheim. He attended the Vitzthumsche Gymnasium in Dresden from 1868 to 1873 and studied law and administration at the Universities of Bonn and Munich from 1874 to 1877. He was a member of the district councils for the Westprignitz and the Göttingen district, head of department and dike captain of the dike association of the II. And III. Division of the Prignitzer Elbe Lowlands. The Westprignitzer Deichverband placed a memorial stone for its boss on the Elbe dike near Lenzen on June 22, 1929, during his lifetime, on the occasion of his 40-year activity as dike captain, which is still preserved today (2016). As early as 1888, the young Kaiser Wilhelm II awarded him the Order of the Red Eagle, 4th class. From 1898 to 1903 Wangenheim was a member of the committee for the investigation of water conditions in the river areas particularly exposed to the risk of flooding, a member of the international permanent association of shipping congresses, a member of the Central Association for German Inland Shipping and a member of the Altona District Railway Council.
