Highlight • Religious Site

After the predecessor building fell victim to a fire, the present church was built in 1693 in Baroque style. The tower was built in 1887, before a tower rider was present, which was demolished in 1924.

Wasserkugel Deutzen

Highlight • Monument

Today, of the former coal plant only the created in 1925 in Gräfenhainichen and 1938 in Deutzen converted water tank, the so-called water ball, remained. The water ball has a capacity of 200 m³ and is 58.5 meters high. The imposing structure was created by the Dortmund company August Klönne in steel skeleton construction. The spherical container (diameter 7.50 meters) and the cone-shaped support were characteristic of the former engineering.

For several years, the Lusatian and Central German mining management company (LMBV) has tried to demolish the object in order to sell the site. This demolition could now be imminent, because the fate of the ball is to be decided in the next three months after a year-long legal dispute, it is waiting for the verdict of the Saxon Higher Administrative Court. For the building, which is now referred to as a unique industrial monument in the world, a demolition would be catastrophic.
