Rathenow Schleusenspucker Monument

I found the group of figures very well done by Mr. Roth.
I find it original that every few seconds a real speuz is spat into the water by the right person.

September 16, 2025,Ausflug nach Rathenow

Today, in a storm, I took a trip to Rathenow. The Optikpark is a worthwhile destination. I've been to the Federal Garden Show twice. It's definitely even more beautiful in the summer when everything is in bloom. The raft trip was something special. All in all, a successful trip.

November 13, 2024,Rundgang durch Rathenow

I set off for Rathenow quite spontaneously. It turned out to be a good idea, because I got to see the sun and blue sky again. The walk along the not so pretty main street was compensated by great old house facades and I also liked the walk to the Bismarck Tower along the Havel. Unfortunately, the optics park was …

August 20, 2024,Rathenow- Stadt der Optik

A short tour through Rathenow, mostly to places that had to do with optics.
The optics museum was beautiful. But it was terrible to read that the optical factory with 5,000 employees closed after the fall of the Berlin Wall and everyone was stranded on the street.
In the 1990s, Fielmann built something new and now employs over 1,000 people, …

The small town of Rathenow on the Havel River has a lot to offer.
This tour takes you past the most important and beautiful sights.
I was particularly impressed by the almost 350-meter-long vineyard and the beautiful park.

Arriving at the station, I spontaneously boarded the regional train to Rathenow to see firsthand what was causing the delays on this line. Before the train could continue, two ICE trains had to overtake it. Five minutes late, the journey finally began. A glance at the train app revealed a request for a passenger survey. Why not? I'm generally satisfied …

Rathenow's old town is steeped in a long and eventful history. Originally founded in the 12th century, it has developed into a vibrant center over the centuries.

Easily accessible by train, a wealth of interesting city history awaits me here. I decided to indulge myself.
