    The Obermarkt is the largest square in Görlitz's old town. It is bordered on the east by the Gothic Trinity Church and on the west by the Reichenbach Tower (background). Luxuriously designed town houses line the area. Among the many baroque houses, the house at Obermarkt 29, built in 1718, stands out in particular, where August the Strong, Tsar Alexander I and Napoleon, among others, have stayed.

    Incidentally, the Reichenbacher Turm is the highest surviving fortified tower. It got its current appearance in 1484. As a lookout tower, it is a special tourist attraction. Behind the tower is the Kaisertrutz, a fortification built in 1490, whose round shape is reminiscent of the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.

      In extension of the east-west main axis of the distance trade took place around 1250 the city extension around the today's upper market, which became the new, large trading place of the city. At the end of the 13th century, a wall ring encircled the city, which today represents the oldest part of the city of Görlitz as Historic Old Town.

        The Obermarkt is characterized by Wilhelminian style buildings, as a city fire destroyed large parts. The Trinity Church and the Reichenbach Tower are striking.
