I live only about 300 meters from the banks of the Elster river and often go for walks as far as the Milbitz bridge.

"Madame Georgette" is a striking, life-size sculpture by the artist Katja Byhan-Radewagen. It serves as an eye-catching feature on the facade of the delicatessen "Tête à Tête" in the market square of Gera, Germany, and has been enlivening the shop for over 15 years. The sculpture of a woman with a prominent posterior is a well-known landmark of the city and adorns the traditional shop, which is known for its tea, wine, whisky, and other specialty products. www.gera.de

The Lummersche Backhaus consists of the restaurant in the building and the bridge café on the Untermhäuser Bridge. You can sit and enjoy your meal in the historic building or on the bridge.

The Küchengartenallee leads from the Untermhäuser Bridge to the Orangery, thus connecting the historic old town and the new town. The avenue features many large old villas, such as Villa Peitzsch, Küchengartenallee 15.

The three-story Renaissance building of the historic town hall, with its over 57-meter-high tower and leaning windows, is an iconic sight on the market square. The magnificent main portal on the market side depicts the coats of arms of Reuss and Solms, as well as the former three-man council of Gera's mayors. Not far from the portal, the historic pillory from 1754 can still be seen today. The octagonal town hall tower has adorned the market square since the 16th century. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the watchman's room was occupied by the watchman, who was appointed by the city to report fires. Today, the town hall tower is open to the public. A magnificent 360-degree panoramic view awaits visitors after climbing 163 steps from the 34-meter-high platform. A hand-played carrilon has sounded from the tower lantern since 1988. The carillon is very popular in Gera. https://www.gera.de/tourismus-freizeit-kultur/stadt-erleben/sehenswertes/rathaus

Gera's Youth Park is an important green space in the city center. It has an interesting history and is now a place for recreation, play, and socializing. Located near Gera's main train station, it was created on the site of a former cemetery. This historical use explains the tranquility and mature trees that give the park its special character. The park is a popular meeting place, especially for families, as it features a renovated playground. There are also sports facilities such as table tennis tables. It is increasingly being used for community projects, including urban gardening in raised beds. In 2025, several projects were implemented or are planned in the park to improve the quality of life, such as the renovation of the playground and the installation of new trash cans. Events such as the "Kiezfest" (Neighborhood Festival) take place regularly. The Youth Park is an example of how historic sites can be revitalized and become an active part of modern urban life.

The post-and-post steam engine of the Morand & Co. worsted wool spinning mill from 1833 is a significant piece of industrial history for Gera and Thuringia. The steam engine was commissioned at the Morand & Co. worsted wool spinning mill in Gera. It was the first steam engine of its kind to be used not only in Gera, but also in the entire Thuringian textile industry. This marked the beginning of industrialization in this region. A "post-and-post steam engine" is an early type of steam engine, in which the motion is transmitted via a horizontal "post," which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotary motion. This design was typical of the early days of steam engine use in industry. The introduction of this engine was a decisive step in the development of Gera's textile industry, which later transformed the city into an important economic center.

The biblical figure of Samson adorns the fountain in the heart of the city. Samson, depicted here as a lion tamer, embodies the strength of the city of Gera with his indomitable power. The Samson Fountain was originally created in 1685 by Casper Junghans the Elder of Rochlitz from Falka sandstone. For almost 140 years, it was initially located in a corner of the market square and used for drinking and domestic water. Just a few years after its relocation to the center of the market square, the fountain and its figure were severely damaged by a storm and required renovation. This was made possible by donations from the population of the then prosperous industrial city. A new version was created using Lower Franconian shell limestone by master sculptors Ewald and Rudolf Tympel, as well as Fritz Kröner, Otto Oettel, and Otto Hager. But the figure was replaced a third time: in 1979 by the Gera artist and sculptor Heinz Plath. He worked with Posta hard sandstone. https://www.gera.de/tourismus-freizeit-kultur/stadt-erleben/sehenswertes/simsonbrunnen
