Uelzen city moat

Highlight • Structure

In 1270 Uelzen received city rights. As in other cities in the Middle Ages, people protected themselves with a city wall, which is still present in some places today. Originally the city wall was 1.3 kilometers long. Inside the city fortifications were the city moat, residential buildings and wide market streets. This city complex is still recognizable and shown as a relief in front of the town hall on Herzogenplatz.

Ratsteich, Uelzen

Highlight • Lake

The Ratsteich was originally created by damming an arm of the Ilmenau as part of fortification measures. Today, the Ratsteich is a popular tourist destination: there are restaurants here, you can stroll through the park and relax on the benches. The Ratsteich meadow is also a popular place to play. I particularly liked the water fountain.
