Key facts on the subject

Location: small town in the Wittenberg district of Saxony-Anhalt. Landscape setting: on the Annaburg Heath between the Elbe and Schwarze Elster rivers. Character: historic townscape with several cultural and historical attractions.

History and townscape

The town’s history dates back to the former village of Lochau. In 1573, the village was renamed Annaburg in connection with the construction of the palace. Historical attractions include Annaburg Palace, the palace church, the Amtshaus on the market square and the townscape characterised by listed buildings. Those who enjoy discovering tangible traces of past eras while travelling will therefore find a clear cultural focus in Annaburg.

Porcelain culture and other attractions in the town

Annaburg’s attractions also include the inner-city zoo and the Annaburger Porzellaneum. The Porzellaneum comprises a porcelain museum, a painting studio, a sales area and a café. If the palace, historic townscape and porcelain culture are to shape your stay, Annaburg itself offers several specific attractions to discover.

Combining town exploration and the countryside

Annaburg is located in a landscape that can be combined with the town’s history when planning your trip. Those who would like to combine exploring the town with time spent in the countryside can incorporate the town’s cultural attractions and the cycling route described into their travel plans. This creates a flexible sequence of cultural impressions and time in nature without reducing Annaburg to a single experience.

Which type of accommodation suits your travel plans?

For a stay focusing on Annaburg’s palace, townscape and porcelain culture, accommodation in Annaburg is an obvious local base rather than accommodation geared exclusively towards another regional destination. Whether you rent a holiday apartment or a holiday house for this purpose can be decided in the next step based on the current offers and your travel plans.

Comparing Annaburg with other historic destinations

Those who would like to combine several historic destinations can include Annaburg and Prettin separately in their regional plans. Prettin should be regarded as a separate named location with Lichtenburg Palace or the Lichtenburg Prettin Concentration Camp Memorial, not as part of Annaburg’s town centre. This allows the two destination options to be considered separately without conflating their local identities.
