ウォルケンシュタインのおすすめランニングルート

The Zschopau Gate, one of Marienberg's landmarks, was built as part of the town's fortifications after its founding between 1541 and 1560. The imposing tower, a rubble stone structure built on a square base, is the only remaining of the original five town gates. The large, round-arched gateway is faced with porphyry blocks, as is the pedestrian underpass to the southwest, which was added in 1956. In 1963, during renovation work, the gate sustained damage from tanks. In 1964, exhibition spaces for museum purposes were designed within the gatehouse, a project approved by the Institute for the Preservation of Historical Monuments. The damaged gate jambs were initially repaired with bricks, and later with dressed stone. To the southwest, a 30-meter-long and 2-meter-wide section of the town wall adjoins the gate. This section is reinforced on the town side with five blind arches and terminates in a transformer station, ingeniously constructed in 1914. Source: Wikipedia

Once you are here, it is worth getting to know the beautiful surroundings.

A copy of a sandstone distance column, dated 1730, located on the edge of the market square (originally Roßmarkt). The column bears various distance inscriptions, the year, and a coat of arms. Some of the original parts are located in the castle. The original part of the column's inscription block was walled up in the house at Turnerstraße 4 and rediscovered in 1983. After 1835, the base and the lower part of the inscription block were repurposed by the local blacksmith. The pieces were rediscovered in 1955, and the column was reconstructed from Greifenstein granite in 1958 and re-erected in 1961.
