The Alte Brauerei in Lauenburg is a half-timbered building protected as a historic monument from the 2nd half of the 17th century. The building, which is distinguished by a massive extension around 1900, is located in the historic old town. It is an important example of the city's architectural history, directly on the Elbe.

The Elbe River is an impressive sight near Lauenburg. From the Elbe Bridge, the town of Lauenburg appears small but inviting.

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.
