Apartments in the GDR border tower: History meets vacation on the banks of the Elbe!
A former border tower on the banks of the Elbe in Cumlosen, Brandenburg, currently ensures a breath of fresh air in tourism. The old watch tower from GDR times is converted into an extraordinary place by Lutz Lange, a hotelier and restaurateur from Wittenberge. The aim is to set up a total of four apartments there. Under the motto "Spend the night in the historical ambience", both tourists and locals should in future be given the opportunity to sleep in history and at the same time to enjoy the view of the water. This reports Radio Saw.
lutz Lange has put a lot of money in hand. He paid 156,000 euros for the property, which is 3,683 square meters in size. The total costs, including fees and real estate transfer tax, amount to around 180,000 euros. The renovation costs are estimated at an additional 250,000 to 300,000 euros. Long has even contacted an architect from Perleberg to plan the conversion of the tower.
highlights of the project
On the top floor of the tower, a viewing platform is set up that offers guests a fantastic view. As a special highlight, an exhibition on the GDR border regime is planned, the exhibits of which should come from the blue light museum in Beuster, Saxony-Anhalt. The historical building, which was completed in 1984, was previously an important management site and was in the service of the border troops until the turn.
attractions around the tower
The area around the border tower also has a lot to offer. Located directly on the Elberadweg, guests can use rental bikes for exploring tours and rent cumlosa boat trips or stand-up paddling boards at the nearby Elbhafen. Lange plans to integrate these activities into its offer to make the stay for his guests unforgettable.
The development of the border tower is also important against the background of the upcoming State Garden Show 2027 in Wittenberge. The aim is to complete a large part of the renovation work until the event opened. With this innovative project, you can not only make the history of the GDR tangible in the region, but also set new tourist impulses. An exciting time is imminent and we are excited to see how the project will develop. More information about this also offers SPIEGEL ONLINE .
