The Landeskrone (Sorbian: Sedło) is the local mountain of the city of Görlitz in eastern Upper Lusatia. With a height of 420 m above sea level[1], it lies southwest of the city center and is a popular destination for excursions, offering views of Görlitz and the surrounding area as well as the Jizera and Giant Mountains.

The image shows the Theodor Körner Monument on the Landeskrone hill in Görlitz. It was erected in 1895 in honor of the poet and soldier Theodor Körner. Körner fell in 1813 during the Wars of Liberation against Napoleon. The monument commemorates his connection to the city of Görlitz, where he stayed in 1809.

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
