September 26, 2026, Hohesteg Bridge

The Hohesteg Bridge in Lychen is a historic pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Woblitz, connecting the Stadtsee with the Großen Lychensee. The former wooden bridge was built at the time so that ships could pass through with their sails lowered or chimneys retracted. It was then replaced by a steel bridge in 1975, and in 2005 a new superstructure was built on the remaining foundation.

The town of Lychen was founded as early as 1248. Lychen has a baroque town hall on the market square, which was originally built on the site of an older town hall. Over the course of history, it experienced several fires: in 1633 there were great devastations due to a fire, and in 1732 the town hall burned down to the foundations again. In 1748, the reconstruction took place as a two-story baroque plastered building with a tower and a mansard roof. In 1817, the town hall received a tower clock. In 1945, it burned down partially again. The final reconstruction took place in 1956/57, but without a tower and without a clock for cost reasons. In front of the town hall stands an oversized thumbtack, which was invented in Lychen in 1903 by Johann Kirsten. Today, the town hall serves as the seat of the Lychen town administration, is centrally located on the market square and in the center of the town.

Of the original three gate towers, only parts of the Fürstenberger Gate and the Stargarder Gate remain today.

The medieval city wall was built from fieldstone between 1302 and 1304 and is largely preserved, including remnants of the Stargard Gate, the Templin Gate, and the Fürstenberg Gate. The city wall surrounds the old town and is a central historical feature of the city.

The gate collapsed in the 18th century, and a previously existing moat was filled in. Only the gatehouse remained for some time to collect tolls. Further information is available on the information board in front.
