The Roland statue in Buch is a historical monument dating from 1580. The sandstone statue, approximately 3.50 meters high, symbolizes the former urban freedoms, market rights, and the town's own jurisdiction. In 1663, the neighboring town hall tower collapsed onto the figure, shattering it. After reconstruction, a town hall fire in 1690 damaged the statue's head again. During the subsequent repairs in the late 17th century, the Roland received its present-day head, highly unusual for knight statues, with a baroque periwig. Originally, the statue stood in the market square in front of the town hall. After the destructions, it was moved in 1693 to its current location in front of the Lehnschulzenhof. Because of the wig, the villagers mistakenly believed the statue was a woman in old legends and nicknamed her "Bride of the Stendal Roland". This gave rise to the tradition of the Roland crowning: every year on Whit Monday, the village youth climb up and place a fresh laurel crown on the statue. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Buch(Altmark)_Roland_22-09-2007_202.jpg

The view of the old town of Tangermünde is one of the most impressive cityscapes in Northern Germany. Especially from the meadows between the Tanger and the Elbe, a wide view opens up onto the well-preserved silhouette of the medieval town: red brick buildings, towers, and the mighty city wall stand out picturesquely against the sky. Particularly striking is the towering castle complex, which presides over the town and underscores its historical significance.

Tangermünde is a true gem on the Elbe Cycle Path: a beautiful old town, lots of brick Gothic architecture, and views of the Elbe. The route is flat, well-maintained, and ideal for relaxed cycling right along the river. Perfect for a break with a café stop and a stroll through the historic streets. 🚴♂️

The Roland in Buch has an adventurous history: Around 1580, a 3.50 m high sandstone sculpture was erected on the Buch market square. It probably replaced an older wooden Roland figure. When the town hall was built, the Roland moved around 1680. When the town hall tower collapsed (just three years later), the sculpture was smashed and had to be reconstructed. In a major fire in 1690, the Roland lost his head, which was replaced by the current head - which is not true to the original. In 1693, the sculpture was given its current location.
