Upper Gate (Obere Tor), Saalfeld
Highlight • Monument
In 1517 the Upper Gate was badly damaged by the town fire, but was rebuilt. After the second major town fire in 1727, however, reconstruction took over 10 years. Only 2 floors were rebuilt, and a baroque onion dome with an octagonal tower helmet was added.

Saalfeld Town Hall and Market Square
Highlight • Historical Site
The picturesque market square has been the centre of Saalfeld since the town on the Saale was founded. The enormous size, shape and rectangular layout of the market square as well as the width of the street in the centre go back to Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. He had Saalfeld planned as an imperial city around 1180. Important trade routes crossed here. The typical weekly markets are still held today.
Unfortunately, due to two devastating city fires, only a few medieval buildings on the market square remained. The market fountain in front of the town hall was ceremoniously inaugurated on April 17, 1999, in the year of the 1,100th anniversary of the first mention of Saalfeld. It takes the place of an earlier large market fountain that was demolished at the end of the 19th century.

Bell tower in Bergfried Park
Highlight • Monument
The bells were cast in the Ulrich AG bell foundry in Apolda in 1924 and are made to ring by hand using a carillon table and the associated action. Always beautiful! Even as a child I loved the sound of bells 🥰
