New owner for the GDR border tower: Lutz Lange is planning holiday apartments!

Cumlosen, Brandenburg, Deutschland - In an exciting auction, the former GDR border tower in Cumlos was recently auctioned for an impressive 156,000 euros. The beginning of this exciting event, which took place in Berlin on June 27, was set with a minimum bid of modest 5,000 euros. But at the auction organized by Deutsche Grundstücksauktions AG, it quickly became clear that there is a real bidding war. Ultimately, it was the entrepreneur Lutz Lange from Wittenberge who acquired the coveted object for more than 31 times the starting price. Nordkurier reports that long had plans of around 200,000 euros in the head.

But what has this border tower, which has been empty for 35 years and has vandalism damage, made so attractive? According to various media reports, a combination of historical importance and tourist potential could be the reason. The three -storey solid building, which is located directly on the Elbe between Wittenberge and Lenzen and is also listed, has all of these properties. RBB24 confirmed the idea that the border tower could not only be a remnant of the GDR period, but also an attraction for those interested in history.

plans for the border tower

"I see potential in the combination of tourism and history," said long. Two to three holiday apartments and a publicly accessible museum are planned to present the history of the border tower. He is supported by the blue light museum in Beuster, which wants to create a tourist attraction on the Elberadweg. According to [AZ-Online] (https://www.az-online.de/altmark/seehausen/seehaeuser-waldbad operator-steigt-hemaligen- Grenztrum-93811272.html), boat trips and bike rental are also being planned to bring the incentive environment.

In order to shine the border tower in new splendor, an investment of around 250,000 to 300,000 euros is planning for a long time. The construction work is scheduled to begin in 2026 with the aim of completing everything in time for the State Garden Show 2027 in Wittenberge. "It is important to me to process the tower and its history and make it accessible to the general public," continued.

an entrepreneur with visions

lutz Lange is by no means an unknown person when it comes to developing real estate. The managing director of the Elberesort has already redesigned the old oil mill in Wittenberge into an appealing holiday resort. His experience in monument protection, such as the renovation of the Kletzke Castle, also proves his good knacks for challenging projects. Nordkurier emphasizes that long in Seehausen value creation.

With far -reaching plans and a clear vision, the new owner of the border tower approaches the matter. At a time when tourist offers are often in short supply, the efforts of Lutz seem to be able to bring a breath of fresh air for a long time. The project not only promises to process the legacy of the GDR, but also to create something unique for the future.
