View of the Schöningen open-cast mine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the lignite mining and the consequences for the environment, the subsequent use with the lake and forest 🌳 is now being worked on. A wonderful natural area will definitely be created here!

Helmstedt Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Helmstedt's Pearl on the market square. Very beautiful facade that really makes a difference. In summer the windows are decorated with flowers. Then it looks even better.
In the evening the facade is illuminated.

Very nice castle waiting for restoration. It's a shame if it would expire.
