Monument Day 2025: Discover 32 treasures in the Altenburger Land!
There will soon be reason to be happy in Altenburg, because on September 14, 2025 the doors to more than 30 monuments will open and invite the population to discover the city's treasures. This year's Monument Day has the motto “Valuable: priceless or irreplaceable?”, a call to focus on the social significance of monuments. How Altenburgerland.de describes, the day will be ceremonially introduced on Friday, September 12th, with a festive opening concert by the Altenburg-Gera Philharmonic Orchestra in the Brüderkirche. Before that, District Administrator Uwe Melzer will award winners for their civic engagement in monument preservation.
Visitors can look forward to a number of exciting tours and programs this sunny Sunday. Loud stadt-altenburg.de 32 monuments in Altenburger Land are open to the public. Among other things, tours of the historic building at Lindenaustraße 9, which was built between 1892 and 1895, provide a fascinating insight into local history. Tours are scheduled here from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4 p.m.
