Rest Area at the Old Harbor Guben

is it an original resting place?

Certainly there are some other places on the bike path in Guben to take a break, for me is the rest area at the old port but the most beautiful Gubener rest area.

Around 1900, the city leased ten acres of land "behind the slaughterhouse" to the shipping company Wroclaw. The shipping company director, however, had to answer for misappropriation in the millions and poisoned himself.
In 1906, the city invested 90,000 marks in the transshipment port. Sand was hauled out of the Neisse with a river excavator and brought by ship to Berlin. From 1910, the city managed the harbor on its own. The end came with the Second World War. Remaining from the Old Harbor are only the historic storage shed and the quay wall.
