The Salzwedel town center captivates with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval flair. Characterized by quaint half-timbered houses, monumental brick Gothic architecture, idyllic river arms of the Jeetze, and the omnipresent aroma of the traditional Salzwedel Baumkuchen, the historic city center can be wonderfully explored entirely on foot.

The historic old town of the Hanseatic city of Salzwedel is a North German gem, known above all for its well-preserved, magnificent half-timbered houses, its imposing brick Gothic architecture, and the remains of the medieval city fortifications. As Salzwedel was largely spared from heavy destruction in World War II, you can stroll through authentic, centuries-old alleys here.

The Salzwedeler Dumme is a left or western tributary of the Jeetze (Jeetzel) in the north of Saxony-Anhalt. Together with the Jeetze, it forms the characteristic network of waterways that gives the historic old town of Salzwedel its special charm. The name "Dumme" by no means has an offensive meaning, but is of Germanic origin (first mentioned in 1343 as de dummen). It most likely derives from the Old Low German "dumb" or Old High German "tumb" for "mute" or "still". The name thus describes the very slow flow rate of the river. The Dumme originates in the west of the Altmark near the Lower Saxony border between the towns of Neuekrug and Höddelsen. It flows relatively straight northeast. At the Tylsen diversion structure, part of its water is diverted into the Alte Dumme if necessary. In the town area of Salzwedel, the river bends north and finally flows into the Jeetze in the Neustadt, directly from the south. www.dumme-salzwedel.de

Today's Kunsthaus Salzwedel was opened in January 1906 as the city's Lyceum. The impressive, neo-Gothic brick building is a cityscape-defining individual and cultural monument and is located in the northern old town. The private initiative of citizens and artists led to the founding of the Kunststiftung Salzwedel in 2012. The initiators' central goal was to create a place for art in Salzwedel. After an extensive, multi-year renovation of the former school building, the Kunsthaus Salzwedel was opened in 2015. Since the beginning of 2016, it has been showing a collection of German expressionist graphics from the collector Gus Kopriva. The carefully renovated house is well suited for filming historical and contemporary material. https://www.mdm-online.de/film-commission/location-guide/kunsthaus-salzwedel

It is located northwest of the old town, immediately in front of the former Bockhorner Tor. Today, the historic building serves as a vibrant meeting place for the Salzwedel youth church https://entdecke-salzwedel.de/ritterhaus/

ie is a central artery for traffic between Salzwedel and Uelzen (direction Lower Saxony). In recent years (especially around 2021/2022), there have been extensive construction and repair works here, as the old structures could no longer safely bear modern heavy traffic.
