View of the Lusatian Neisse River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view of the border river Neisse with a view to Poland. Before that in an alley in front of the church there is still delicious ice cream

Old Town Hall, Görlitz

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall tower is the highest tower in Görlitz, offering the best view of the city and the surrounding area. Every full hour between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. you can climb the town hall tower and enjoy the view as part of a guided tour.
Meeting point is in front of the stairs at the foot of the tower. Tickets are available there immediately before the tour (October 2019: 4 EUR for adults/ 1.50 EUR for children).
Once at the top, you can add the tower stamp to your admission ticket, so to speak as "proof" and a souvenir for the ascent.
The tour lasts about 45 minutes.

Upper Market, Görlitz

Highlight • Historical Site

The Obermarkt is the largest square in Görlitz's old town. It is bordered on the east by the Gothic Trinity Church and on the west by the Reichenbach Tower (background). Luxuriously designed town houses line the area. Among the many baroque houses, the house at Obermarkt 29, built in 1718, stands out in particular, where August the Strong, Tsar Alexander I and Napoleon, among others, have stayed.

Incidentally, the Reichenbacher Turm is the highest surviving fortified tower. It got its current appearance in 1484. As a lookout tower, it is a special tourist attraction. Behind the tower is the Kaisertrutz, a fortification built in 1490, whose round shape is reminiscent of the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.

Thick Tower (Women's Tower), Görlitz

Highlight • Monument

The tower, which dates back to the 13th century, is the most massive of the Görlitz city towers, with over five meters thick in places. It is 46 meters high. The historic city coat of arms on the front of the tower is a striking feature.

Görlitz Post Office

Highlight • Monument

The Görlitzer Postplatz was and is one of the most important squares in the city of Görlitz, even if it has lost some of its external glamor since its redesign in 1938 and of its importance since the changes in building functions in recent times. It has developed from the cattle pasture into a central square, which the royal-Prussian and later the imperial-German post office, the court and representative civil buildings gave its frame. Different designs of the green area with the Toberenz fountain, affectionately called Mushelminna by the people of Görlitz, in the center has experienced different versions. The publication is based on a garden conservation study, the aim of which is to find the shape of the square in the future.

Untermarkt (Lower Market), Görlitz

Highlight • Historical Site

The Whispering Arch at Untermarkt 22 in Görlitz is a magnificent late Gothic portal decorated with elaborate details. Construction of the portal began in 1500, followed by extensions in 1525 and 1726. The Whispering Arch's keel-arch archivolt transmits sound waves so that even quiet words can be heard from one end to the other. Today, the Whispering Arch is one of the city's most visited sights.

Vierraden Mill — Restaurant & Historic Watermill

Highlight • Restaurant

The Vierradenmühle is an important testimony to the history of the city of Görlitz and was probably built around 1200. It owes its name to four undershot water wheels, which have been rebuilt several times over the centuries - most recently in 1929/30, when the mill was converted into a hydroelectric power station.

Today it houses a restaurant. You can find the opening times and further information here: vierradenmuehle-goerlitz.rgio.de.

It's a shame that the pictures are all completely mixed up on the card. Let's see when I have the leisure to assign them correctly. But it was nice 😊

October 1, 2023,Bautzentrip 4: Vormittags in Görlitz

It's only thirty minutes by train from Bautzen, and I also wanted to take in the direct comparison between the two cities. It's not entirely fair, because Görlitz is significantly larger and therefore almost inevitably has more renovation backlogs and certainly unclear ownership relationships than is the case in Bautzen. The facades are what - depending on your individual taste …
