The building with the "Golden Gate" on Jakobstrasse has a varied history. It was designed, built, and inhabited by the master builder Franz Grunert, whose delicate initials can still be seen in the Golden Gate today. Later, the house was inhabited by the Jewish merchant family Ephraim. From here, Martin Ephraim managed his business and was actively involved in his hometown of Görlitz. https://www.tripadvisor.de/Attractions-g562766-Activities-Gorlitz_Saxony.html

Flooded open-cast lignite mine. Today a recreational area at the foot of the Zittau Mountains.

The former open-cast lignite mine has been transformed into an impressive opportunity for both those seeking peace and quiet and (on special dates) active sports enthusiasts.

Bautzen boasts several important fountains, including the Ritter-Dutschmann Fountain on the main market square, the historic New Waterworks in the city fortifications, the Nymph and Unicorn drinking fountain on Reichenstraße, and the Elector Johann Georg Fountain. There's also the historic Gesundbrunnen fountain, whose spring was once considered to have healing properties. These fountains are part of the city's sights and history.

The Wendish Tower, or Serbska wěža in Sorbian, is part of Bautzen's medieval city fortifications. It is located on the northeastern edge of the old town and is now structurally connected to Gottfried Semper's Old Barracks (Stara kaserna). For centuries, the Via Regia ran through the adjacent Wendish Gate, which no longer exists. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendischer_Turm

A city with wealthy citizens like Bautzen had to be constantly prepared for defense in the Middle Ages. Therefore, powerful city fortifications were built to deter enemy attacks. The sieges by the Hussites in 1429 and 1431 demonstrated that the existing defenses were no longer sufficient to protect the city. The municipality subsequently had the city fortifications extensively modernized and expanded well into the 16th century, with their might serving as a deterrent to enemy attacks. An outer and an inner city wall, moats, ditches, ramparts, bastions, and towers protected the city. Seven gates in the outer ring of walls secured access to the suburbs. By the early 18th century, however, the fortifications were gradually losing their military function. Furthermore, they hampered the city's architectural development and transport growth.

As a result, the city's fortifications were partially demolished during the 19th century. Nevertheless, extensive remnants of the former fortifications have survived to the present day as testaments to the city's former defensive strength. See: https://www.bautzen.de/presse/2023-1
