The estate, including the school building for the surrounding villages, stood here. In 1963, the entire area was demolished during the "Verziefer" (pesticide) campaign, and all the buildings were destroyed because it was considered too close to the border by the GDR regime.

St. Mary's Church in Boizenburg is a predominantly Gothic brick hall church, the core of which dates back to a Romanesque fieldstone building from the 13th century. Almost completely destroyed in a fire in 1709, it was rebuilt between 1717 and 1754 and later remodeled in the Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. The tower, windows, and nave today display a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque elements—a historic work of art in the heart of the old town.

A memorable place

The Boizenburg District Court was a court in the district of the Schwerin Regional Court, with its seat in Boizenburg/Elbe. It was housed in a two-story building with a hipped roof, constructed around 1830 in neoclassical style. The building is located in the immediate vicinity of Boizenburg's St. Mary's Church. A prison was located next to the courthouse. After World War II, the Soviet commandant's office was housed there. In 1957, the courthouse was converted into a school. After the school was closed in 2001, the original structure and facade were restored during renovation. Today, the building at Kirchplatz 6, now the community center, houses parts of the city administration. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amtsgericht_Boizenburg

Unfortunately, this highlight is easy to miss. You have to look carefully for it.

Living on a river like the Elbe has many advantages that people have enjoyed for centuries. At the same time, people needed to protect themselves from the dangers of flooding, so they built dikes and dams. The open-air exhibition EinFlussReich, located in the immediate vicinity of the famous Elwkieker observation tower, provides children and adults with playful content on the topic of flooding. They can learn how people experienced the flooding on the Elbe, how effective flood protection is, and which flood protection projects have already been implemented along the Elbe. Become a decision-maker yourself with our interactive exhibition elements and see if your flood protection measures will help protect Boizenburg from flooding.

The inner-German border ran near Boizenburg/Elbe on the B5, which runs from Lauenburg to Boizenburg. It was an important border route between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. Boizenburg also featured a border crossing known as "Checkpoint Harry." Today, the area is a memorial to the division of Germany.
