It is the only preserved fountain from old Greiz. It was built around 1820 and received its granite octagonal surround in 1840.
At that time, the water from the St. Adelheid spring was fed into the city through wooden pipes. In the past, this spring was said to have a great healing effect. Today the well is connected to the water supply network.

Old Guardhouse (Main Guardhouse), Greiz

Highlight • Historical Site

The citizens of the city like to refer to them as “Old Guard” - the more correct designation is “Hauptwache”, historically even “Guard and syringe house”.
In 1918, when the Prince abdicated, the Hauptwache lost its purpose. In the following years she changed roles several times. For example, the tourist office was located in the "Alte Wache" until 1993. Today the registry office uses the premises to hold wedding ceremonies.

Greiz Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

In 1908 the neighboring houses to the east of the town hall burned down.
The burned down houses were quickly replaced by new buildings. In this context, the extension for the town hall was built as early as 1909.

The renovations of the town hall by Gottfried Rudolf are described in great detail at greiz-gruenderzeit.de/rathaus.
