09100281	( Location )	Carl Blechen memorial	The "Carl Blechen Memorial" has been in Cottbus' Bleichenark since 1957. Jürgen von Woyski had the bronze figure cast in Lauchhammer. It stood on a brick plinth and depicted a standing young man with a pen and paper. In February 2008, the theft of the statue was discovered, which was probably the work of metal thieves . Today only the base (with the name and the dates of life) reminds of the location of this monument. Carl Eduard Blechen was born in Cottbus in 1798, he was one of the most important painters of the 19th century. During his ten-year visit to the Lyceum at the Upper Church, he discovered his passion for painting through his friend Christian Gottfried Lemmrich. Study trips took him to the Baltic Sea, the Harz Mountains, and Saxon Switzerland, but he also brought his motifs with him from long trips to Italy. His works of art were watercolors and oil paintings, his sketches made of chalk. Known as a landscape painter, he was a professor in this area at the Berlin Academy of the Arts. Due to his early death in 1840, his works of art were forgotten until the 20th century. Today his picture collections are in the castle of Prince Pückler (Branitzer Park).	more pictures
09100188	Adolf-Kolping-Straße 17/18 ( location )	Catholic Church of St. Mary Queen of Peace and rectory	In the years 1934/1935, the two-tower clinker brick building was carried out in Adolph-Kolping-Straße, with the designs for the building coming from the Breslau diocesan architect Anton Mokroß and the Cottbus company Pabel taking over the construction management. The church is 40 m long and 20 m wide, and the interior with the 18 m high main nave and the lower side aisles can accommodate 1200 people. The statues of saints and the main altar were created by the Cottbus wood sculptor Felix Hertelt. In the chancel there is an early baroque figure of “Maria regina pacis” (Maria Queen of Peace) from the Erfurt Cathedral. Although seven of the leaded-glass windows were lost during the Second World War , they could be redrawn by the Sorbian glass painter Gottfried Zawadski based on the original drawings that were preserved in 1954/1955 and then manufactured and replaced by a Dresden company. In the 1950s, the front of the church received a sculpture of the risen Christ made of white concrete by the Weißenfels artist Rudolf Brückner-Fuhlrott . From 1976 to 1992 the church was rebuilt. The Dresden architect Wolfram Starke was in charge of the renovation work, while the sculptor Friedrich Press was responsible for the artistic design of the interior . Since the renovation, the room for the services has been surrounded by a symbolic crown of thorns, which is broken by a simple white wooden cross opposite the altar. In 1994 the Marienkirche was raised to the status of provost church.	more pictures

There is an optical separation horizontally through tile strips and tile friezes. The high windows are covered with additional brick decorations, above them are various crowns with floral and renaissance-typical geometric stucco ornaments. These are continued on the stand core of the side axes, especially on the richly decorated frieze panels at the height of the top floor (contain the date of construction and the client's initial “K”).

09100268	Am Amtsteich 18 ( location )	Former factory building with a memorial plaque for the labor movement	The historical significance of this former factory building lies in its use as one of the first hydropower-operated spinning mills in Cottbus. From 1830 to 1835 the client was William Cockerill, Junior , who strongly promoted industrial development in the area of ​​machine cloth production in what was then Prussia. In 1835 Ernst Rodig took over the factory, after 1840 the owners changed frequently. In 1917 the factory became town property and until 1927 was the seat of the “Märkische Volksstimme” (Brandenburg daily newspaper of the SPD). In 1970 a memorial plaque was placed on the building with the following inscription: "The soldiers' council and the editorial staff of the Märkische Volksstimme had their headquarters in this building during the November Revolution - inaugurated on the occasion of the 6th pioneer meeting by the Suhl district delegation." The Museum für Natur has been located since 1991 and the environment as well as the Lausitzer Naturkundliche Akademie e. V. there. The simple form of the former factory building is a three-story, brick-faced plastered building with an eaves facade on one side. On the ground floor you can see fine ashlar blocks, and the windows were let into arched niches. The windows on the two upper floors are framed by pilaster strips . The closing of the wall opening for the drive shaft of the waterwheel (western outside) and the conversion of the storeys, which were originally divided into three-aisled production halls, represented structural changes.
09100115	Am Anger 1 ( location )	Rental house	The four-story corner building is a residential and commercial building from the end of the 19th century. While the ground floor only has a simple plaster block, the upper floors are made of exposed brick and divided by vertical plaster strips. A cornice and a plastered cornice separate the commercial floor from the residential floors, the space in between is decorated with a window-wide plastered mirror. All of the windows on the upper floors have brackets and a roof. On the first floor above the roofing, a round arch with a plastered keystone is indicated by ornamental plaster and walls. A segmental arch is formed on the second floor using the same technique. On the eastern side of the building there are three blind windows one above the other , while real segmental arched windows can be seen on the ground floor. The corner bay window has stone cross windows on the two lower upper floors, on the third floor the bay window merges into an octagonal shape and is crowned above the eaves with an oriel tower, which is equipped with arched windows, two blind windows and a weather vane. The eaves cornice is enhanced by a tooth cut. Gables with plaster structures emphasize the two central axes on the street front. In between are symmetrically arranged dormers.
09100116	At the Great Spreewehr ( location )	Spreewehrmühle, consisting of a mill building with water wheel and mill technology, five weir pillars of the historic Spree weir and a crane winch	The water-powered oil and Gräupchenmühle built in 1798 was used until 1831. Then the construction of the Great Spree weir and the Hammergraben began to prevent the occasional flooding of the Spree; the Hammergraben was to serve as a drainage point. In 1867 Christian Loch acquired the mill and in the same year received permission from the district administrator to run a pub. In 1904, with the incorporation of Sandows, the mill and pub became the property of the township. Various tenants ran the mill and pub in the following years. After 1945 the mill was the first to produce flour again for Cottbus. In 1960 the pub was demolished because it was in disrepair. Rebuilt in 1965, there were 60 seats in the restaurant. Rapidly increasing numbers of visitors again led to a lack of space. In 1968 there was another renovation and expansion. In addition to larger indoor spaces, a large outdoor café garden was also created. In 1987 the mill was declared a technical monument "Spreewehrmühle" and rebuilt accordingly. In December 1998 the time had finally come: after a complete reconstruction, the "Spreewehrmühle" restaurant, which was closed again in 1991, was reopened. Since significant damage to the load-bearing parts of the construction was found in 2015, the inlet and water wheel had to be replaced. This work was carried out between autumn 2019 and spring 2020.	more pictures
09100118	Am Spreeufer 1 ( location )	Power station	The city's old electrical power station, which was built around the turn of the century, was built in 1901 by the Dyckerhoff and Widmann company. With the generation of electricity by using the water power of the city mill, the first city power station went into operation in April 1903. At that time, the E-Werk had two water turbines, two steam engines and two boiler systems. Twice an operating voltage of 220 volts was supplied through the approximately 38 kilometers long cable network. Many Cottbus residents were interested in how the new technology would prevail and replace the gas lighting that had been in existence for 40 years. In 1904 Cottbus owned the most modern electrical works in the Mark Brandenburg. In the last full year of operation from 1913 up to the First World War, the plant generated around 4 million kilowatt hours. It was decided to have a new power station built, but the First World War, the Great Depression and the Second World War prevented its execution and construction. Large power plants based on lignite with 110 kilovolt overhead lines, which made the Cottbus district the main supplier of energy in the former GDR, finally sealed the closure of this old traditional Cottbus company. All technical systems and equipment were dismantled and scrapped. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the former power station briefly became a large-capacity disco; today the Cottbus City Art Museum is located in the listed building that was converted for this purpose.	more pictures

The corner building with an irregular floor plan is a plastered building with a clinker-clad basement, it combines traditional architectural elements with the typical architectural features of the Heimat- and Art Nouveau style. On both sides of the house there are risalites with a roof-topped display framework at the level of the top floor. In 1987 the finely structured facade plaster was replaced by smooth plaster and the roof was repaired.

In the course of this, 27 apartment buildings were built along the curved course of Arndtstrasse. A large part of the land was acquired by the "Official Housing Association" in 1909 (today "e. G. Wohnen"). The house numbers 14/15 and 18 to 27 (south side) are private buildings belonging to the association “e. G. Wohnen ”includes house numbers 1 to 9 and 16/17.	more pictures
09100204	Arndtstrasse 1-9 ( location )	Housing complex "Official houses" including front gardens and their fencing as well as the space in front of No. 7–9	In 1909, the "Official Housing Association of Cottbus eGmbH" (today e. G. Wohnen) acquired a larger area to the north in Arndtstrasse. The design for the area was based on the current contemporary design and was influenced by the curved street layout and the central expansion of the square. The two-storey apartment buildings with extended attic storeys in house numbers 1–6 were completed in 1910 and house numbers 7–9 in the following year. The buildings are built on the edge of a block , which is interrupted by individual detached houses. Typed house shapes were used as a basis, which were accentuated by changing details in the entrances and in the facade and roof design. The various arrangements of entrances, balconies and loggias as well as the strikingly spacious floor plans are characteristic of the urban solution . There is also an alternation of longitudinal and gabled houses, while the facade design is interrupted by plaster strips. In the houses at Arndtstrasse 6/7 there are apartments with four large rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a girls' room. At that time, the apartments could be rented for 615 to 630 marks.	more pictures
09100321	Arndtstrasse 27 ( location )	Rental apartment and commercial building	This three-storey corner building is used as a residential and commercial building. A combination of mansard and gable roof, crowned by four dormers (one facing Webschulallee, three facing Arndtstrasse) and a square roof turret, can be seen on the building. The style of the facades facing Arndtstrasse and Webschulallee is fundamentally different. Towards Arndtstrasse, pilasters in a colossal order connect the ground floor with the upper floor. There are oval plastered mirrors between the lattice windows on these two floors and narrow serrated friezes above the windows on the upper floor. Part of the facade is highlighted like a risalit, the second floor plastered. There are shutters on the slightly wider windows. As a conclusion, the house has a loggia on each floor . In the sloping corner of the building are the business premises with two molded shop windows. On the left side of the building you get to the roofed entrance door, which is also braced. The upper floor windows are connected to one another by a cornice and a canopy. In order to create a color transition, two balconies were built on the lighter western side. The facade facing Webschulallee is noticeable through a half-timbered structure on the second floor, the outer walls of which are slightly inclined inwards. Again, three loggias form the end of the building. The clinker base and the pillars of the fence are still preserved from the fence.	more pictures
09100120	August-Bebel-Strasse 42/43, 44 ( location )	Bauhaus School (No. 42/43) Apartment building (No. 44)	In 1928 the city council of Cottbus decided to build a new school due to the increasing number of students in order to enable a solid school education. In 1929 the most modern school building in the city was built in the Bauhaus style according to designs by the city building councilor Hellmuth Schröder, the elementary school (Bauhaus school) . The steel frame school was built as a double school (separation of boys and girls) with two gyms, large and small auditoriums, specialist cabinets, kitchen, laundry room, dining room and after-school care room for all-day care. The U-shaped building complex is divided on the courtyard side by cuboid structures of different heights and contains two roof terraces for outdoor lessons. The decoration of the building consisted of the white jointed clinker facade in interaction with the facade and window design. The wall surfaces are structured by flush-lying window groups of various formats. The inauguration of the VII. Community School (Bismarck School) took place on May 12, 1930, the name "Bauhaus School" prevailed in the 1960s. During the Second World War, the school was used as a hospital. Hardly damaged, it was occupied by the Soviet Army at the end of the war and in 1991 used as a school for the children of relatives. The school has been a listed building since 1964 and was renovated in 1994. The reopening took place in March 1998 as a primary school and school with a special educational focus on "physical and motor development". The apartment building (August-Bebel-Straße 44) was built in 1930/31 after the Bismarck School as a teacher's house and is an attempt to build a house in steel frame construction with walls and ceilings made of slag concrete. The architect was also city planning officer Hellmuth Schröder. The plaster facade is structured by horizontal and vertical ribbon windows, while balconies can be found on the courtyard side. The building can be seen as an early representative of industrial housing construction. The house was restored and refurbished in 1999/2000, with the attic floor being expanded.

It represents a combination of residential and commercial use typical of the time. This is highlighted architecturally by a lively alternation between the richly varied plaster decoration and the simple reddish-yellow clinker brick surfaces of the facade. The three-dimensional plaster decoration and the risalit-like middle section structure the front horizontally and vertically. While the windows on the ground floor were framed like an arch, they are framed by aedicular frames on the upper floors. The house passage consists of rough ashlar (rustica), and the parapet areas on the upper floors are richly decorated with frieze panels and half balusters. Below the eaves is a jamb with further arched windows and an expansive cornice.
09100009	Bautzener Strasse 41 ( location )	Villa with garden plot and street-side fence	The villa, built around 1903 with a street-side fence, was built in Art Nouveau style. It is unique of its kind in the Niederlausitz region. While the east and north sides are barely or not at all structured, the other two sides of the building are decorated with plaster bands and rich ornamentation. The western facade is designed on the ground floor with plaster blocks that vary in height. This ashlar frames the side elevation as a vertical structure and is drawn up almost to the eaves zone. At the southern corner, however, it only extends up to half of the ground floor and is replaced there by a festoon made of flower tendrils. The pattern can also be found in the curved gable. The design of the facade is underlined by the use of different window shapes. There is a large arched window on the ground floor, while three roofed rectangular windows are combined on the upper floor. In the risalit there are two rectangular windows on the first floor, a wide rectangular window with rounded upper corners and a small arched window in the attic on the upper floor. All windows in the risalit are framed with curved bezels. A festoon has been incorporated above the attic window. The entrance to the house is in the central projection on the north side of the building. The three stairwell windows in the risalit are combined in their upper end as a round arched window. Due to the different heights, the lower end is offset in steps. The left half of the building has one rectangular window on the ground floor and two rectangular windows with curved bezels on the upper floor. The right half of the building has no windows and is decorated with plaster ashlars and a leaf festival. Just like on the western side, the gable is provided with a small arched window and adorned with a flower festival. Above the entrance there is a festoon with the words “Salve”, which translates as “Hello”.	more pictures
09100122	Bautzener Strasse 42/43 ( location )	After-work and nursing home	The building complex of the “Riedelstift” retirement home was created between 1896 and 1907 by Wilhelm Riedel's foundations. Riedel had the first building erected at Bellevuestraße 44/45 (today Bautzner Straße). He donated it to the city in June 1897, where it became the "Riedel Foundation for Fatherless Orphans". In 1902 there was a second foundation called the “Dowry Foundation”, and one year later the “Riedelstift für Honorable Poor” was established. Then two more buildings were built, which became the “Asylum for honorable people in need”. In 1907 he built a "workshop for the Riedelstiftung Selbsthilfe". This made inexpensive work rooms available for young craftsmen who wanted to start their own business and offered courses on economics and housekeeping. Towards the end of 1930 the "Riedelstift" became a retirement home. In 1940 there were already 208 residents in the "Riedelstift". The nursing department was completely destroyed in the air raid in 1945, but was later rebuilt as an after-work home with up to 300 beds. In 1986 the entire facility was extensively renovated. After 1990 the “Riedelstift” was advertised as a retirement home by the city of Cottbus as an independent sponsor, in April 1993 the home and all employees of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund , Ortsverband Cottbus / Niederlausitz e. V., taken over.	more pictures

09100159	Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse 15 ( location )	Light metal hall of the TKC	On October 1, 1968, the first construction work began on the site of a former allotment garden. The hall is one of the first buildings of the former "Textile Combine Cottbus". At the beginning of January 1969, the assembly of the 78 m wide and 234 m long production hall began. The hall roof was placed on concrete pillars of the hall walls from segments of 12 × 18 m. The total roof area is 1400 m². The hall walls were prefabricated. The hall size is 18,000 m². Large lattice windows provide a lot of light inside the hall. The entrance is also made of glass and is framed by colored tiles. In the central part of the hall there was a dining room, a canteen, a medical center, workshops and offices. After the fall of the Wall, the Steilmann clothing company took over the hall. Some employees were also able to stay. But all efforts to keep the textile industry in Cottbus alive came to nothing. The location here had become too expensive due to globalization.
09100024	Court of Justice 1 ( location )	Rental house	Cottbus’s oldest three- to four-story rental house is located in the southeast of the old town. The building was built in 1868 on behalf of the confectioner Wilhelm Münnich. The unknown master builder achieved optimum use of the small corner plot with the different storeys. With a U-shaped floor plan, it lines Sandower Strasse and Magazinstrasse on the north side of Court Square. The three-storey central building with six axes is bordered on both sides by four-storey head buildings with hipped roof . The extension, facing Sandower Straße, has four floors on five axes. The corner axis is rounded. There is a shop area on the ground floor, where a health food store now operates. The narrow side to Magazinstraße is also designed with five axes. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed with pilasters , multi-profiled cornices as well as varied parapet and lintel areas structure the front in a typical late classicist style. Two lying half-figures, holding a flower, adorn the parapet panels on the first floor. Below the cornice there are friezes made of medallions with fully plastic heads between fruit garlands. The facade of the central wing, facing the court square, was only partially preserved. There you will also find the house entrance and windows with strong roofs in the form of blown arches or cornice pieces. Two balconies added in 1912 were removed again in 1994. On the side of the courtyard facing Magazinstrasse there is a servants' staircase in which there is a steep staircase with a graceful railing that is twisted around one eye.
09100287	Court Square 2 ( location )	District Court	The Cottbus District Court is responsible for the independent city of Cottbus and the Spree-Neisse district in Brandenburg. It belongs to the regional court district of Cottbus and the Brandenburg Higher Regional Court. After the castle was completely burned down in 1857 with the exception of the castle tower and a walk-through tour at a height of 31 m, the judiciary acquired most of the castle property in 1870 for 17,700 thalers. This created the prerequisites for the construction of this courthouse on the castle grounds. The plan for such a new building was drawn up in 1872. In 1877 the new building was handed over to the district court director Göllner. It was today's regional court building above today's district court. In the years 1905 to 1907, due to the reorganization of the jurisdictions, the district court building was finally built at the foot of the hill that rises at the border of the old town on the banks of the Spree. The well-known Cottbus construction company Herrmann Pabel und Co. built it in the Renaissance style. Two low, copper-roofed corner towers on the main front on the court square are clearly visible from afar. The tower rooms, the entrance hall and the corridors of the ground floor and the 1st floor are covered with dome, barrel and cross vaults. A wooden ceiling, on the other hand, spans the jury's hall. According to the local court, the eventful and not always glorious history includes the use of the rooms as a court and field court during the war years. From 1945 to 1949 the house served as the seat of the Russian district commanders. In the years 1949 to 1990, the district office of the GDR Ministry of the Interior with the district economic council and the state security moved into the premises. According to the court, the district court was renovated for around 3.8 million euros between 1997 and 2000. Five conference rooms, ten branches and offices with a total area of ​​1,800 square meters have been created for court operations. A particular challenge for planners and construction companies was the renovation of the large conference room in the neo-renaissance style. Today the building is a listed building and is not missing on any city tour.
09100285	Court Street ( location )	"Schlossturm" (keep)	The castle tower is now the oldest building in the city and was part of the castle, which was demolished between 1857 and 1905, and where today's district court can be found. The substructure of the castle tower dates from the early 13th century. On August 24, 1857, the tower burned down completely due to a fire that broke out in the spinning mill of the Princely House. The then landowner von Seydel then planned the demolition of the tower. To prevent this, a castle tower building association was founded in 1870 under the honorary presidency of Prince Pückler. The judicial authorities, who have owned the tower since 1870, initially approved of its demolition. Kaiser Wilhelm I responded to a request from the association with a gift of grace of 5000 thalers and the commissioning of the Morstein building council to restore the tower. The construction work was completed in 1877 in a representative neo-Gothic form. In 1931 a bell was installed; In 1955/58, 1961 and 1967 repairs followed, in which u. a. the staircase was renewed and the slate roofing of the helmet was replaced by monk-nun brick . In 1980/81 a design concept was worked out that was to convert the castle tower into a lookout tower. The brick building has a height of 47.68 meters, of which the unadorned medieval lower part is 20 meters. The floor plan has the shape of a warped rectangle (north side 8.67 m, south side 8.82 m, west side 9.8 m and east side 9.68 m). The wall thickness in the lower area is 3 meters. In the course of the construction work in 1876/77, the uppermost section of the tower shaft and the upper part with access (at a height of 31 meters) as well as the high crenellated parapet with pointed arches and machicolation motifs between corner pillars on sandstone consoles were created. In addition, there were two tower balls on the ridge and a round clock with a blue dial on each side of the observation walkway below. On the south side there is a pointed arch portal, on the west side there is a pointed arched window. Inside there is a surrounding wooden staircase with intermediate landings as well as two wooden landings 22 and 31 meters high (observation floors).	more pictures
09100288	Richtstrasse 1/2 ( location )	Double rectory	The red exposed brick building with surrounding wall and neo-Gothic gable design was built in 1891. The use by two parishes at that time indicates an internal dichotomy. The central administration for statistics used this seat from 1945 to 1993. The double rectory was subsequently re-owned and renovated in 1997. The ten-axis facade is structured strictly symmetrically. The doors, stairwells and floors have been preserved from the time of construction. The corners of the building are framed by high two-axis risalite sides crowned with gables . In between there is a two-storey wing, each with an entrance. The middle wing and the side projections are equipped with slate-covered gable roofs . The window arches are arched, and there is a large ocular above each entrance . Only a few shaped stones can be found as facade decor. Dark glazed bricks form a ribbon around the building, and the gable triangles of the risalites are raised through staggered lancet openings. In the western entrance hall you can find a reconstruction of a stencil painting, in the eastern entrance area an older stencil painting with a new color scheme has been restored.
09100286	Richtstrasse 3/4 ( location )	district Court	The Cottbus regional court building is located on the Rechtsberg, also known as the Schlossberg. The Prussian justice administration bought the building in 1876 and had the former royal house, damaged by fire, demolished. At this point, the district court building with neoclassical style elements was built in 1876/77 according to a design by the Prussian ministry under the construction management of district architect Frick. The three-storey brick shell was built on a high base. The facade of the building is covered with sandstone slabs and the edges of the building are set off with sandstone blocks. Rich sandstone decor can also be found around windows and cornices. The building, free-standing on all sides, is 13 axes long and three axes wide. The symmetrical construction of the building, underlined above all by the arrangement of the window fronts, ends in a flat hipped roof covered with English slate. The western facade to the castle courtyard is characterized by a three-axis central projection in which an arched portal emphasizes the entrance. This central projection ends in a crowned triangular gable, on which decorated sloping ceilings can also be found. On the eastern side of the façade, on the other hand, there are two polygonal staircase porches with arched windows on both sides of the central projection. The western view is dominated by straight-cut rectangular windows on the ground floor, which are framed with sandstone slabs. The cornice located above optically separates the ground floor from the first floor with the high arched windows that are suspected to be gable. The parapet fields are connected by a band of sandstone slabs. Rectangular windows with cornice canopies, on the other hand, are on the second floor. Particularly ornate, the vertical completion of the roof is jamb , designed as a broad Traufband with oculi . Above it is a protruding cornice with an acanthus decor . In the building itself the visitor will find interesting contemporary interior fittings: staircases with iron railings, fan vaults and decorative wooden ceilings with cassettes. The approx. 6 m high jury court room is divided by pillars with capitals and illuminated by the high arched windows. The entire house was extensively renovated between 1994 and 1996 and is still used today as a courthouse. The use of sandstone underlines the special effort that went into this early building of the judiciary and shows the development of the city into the administrative center of Lusatia.	more pictures

09100138	Goods supply route 7 ( location )	Station reception building of the Cottbus-Großenhainer Railway	Goods supply road 7 is right next to the tunnel exit on the northern side of the train station and the freight yard. At that time, this building served as a train station building. In 1870 the 80 km long railway line between Cottbus and Großenhain was put into operation. The station building of the Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn was only built in 1877/78. The station master used to live in the two-storey western part of the house. The luggage department and offices were in the eastern area. In 1882 the station had to be sold to Prussia due to the poor economic situation, but was then closed in 1885. The building remained intact when the Cottbus train station was bombed at the end of the Second World War in 1945. After passenger transport had gradually been handled by the state train station, the Großenhain train station served as a freight station from 1970. The building was restored in the 1990s and has since been used as an office building, in which several companies are now based.
09100141	Heinrich-Zille-Straße 120 ( location )	Historic core buildings of the former M. Kalinin district party school	The first building was erected in 1937 as barracks for the motorized gendarmerie. From 1951 the site was used as a school, with additional school buildings being necessary. The district party school “M. Kalinin “was an important educational institution in Cottbus until 1990. In 1991 the houses were converted into a congress hotel and new buildings were built for the hotel business. The site was later taken over by the Best Western Group, which operated the hotel under the name “Parkhotel Branitz und Spa”. The hotel was closed at the end of 2010.

In the front, the square windows on the first floor are separated from the rectangular windows on the second floor by a dark cornice that stands out well against the white plaster. The attic with its asymmetrically arranged windows is integrated into the hipped roof. The single-storey house on Wilhelm-Busch-Straße is an unadorned plastered building and was used as a teacher's residence. A second rain gutter, which is about half a meter below the eaves, is striking. The next building on Wilhelm-Busch-Straße is a two-story school building in which only the windows on the upper floor have a simple roof. On the left side of the house, a rectangular plaster mirror adorns the building in the central axis. The following houses were rebuilt for the hotel in 1991. The last two-story school building that can be seen from outside the site is at the intersection of Lenbach- and Heinrich-Zille-Straße. A yellow plastered central risalit stands out on the front , which is equipped with three French windows. Asymmetrically arranged square plastered mirrors decorate the building between the two floors. The attic is integrated into the hipped roof.

In autumn of the same year, the repair of the former sports grounds of MTV 1861 began. The stadium was inaugurated in 1952. At the same time, the cycling track was built, which at this point was already completed and was already in use. The new stadiums are framed by Humboldtstrasse, Hermann-Löns-Strasse and Johann-Mantel-Strasse. In the entrance area (Hermann-Löns-Straße), social buildings and a judges' tower were built, which are very well preserved to this day.

The design comes from T. Liersch, the execution from Friedrich W. Schneider. It is a simple plastered building on the eaves, which means that the eaves run parallel to the street. In 1988 the building was repaired again. There is a narrow front garden in front of the rectory and a small courtyard behind the building.
09100062	Klosterplatz 2 ( location )	Residential building	The house built in the second half of the 19th century was partially renovated and modernized after 1934. The house is now completely part of the main building of the youth hostel at Klosterplatz 3 and is also structurally connected to it. The former residential building is a narrow plastered building under a gable roof that is attached to the city wall and runs parallel to the street . Parts of the medieval city wall are integrated into the northern side, making the building an interesting building in terms of architectural history.
09100063	Klosterplatz 3 ( location )	Former Malzdarre (now a youth hostel)	Today's youth hostel on Klosterplatz was built around 1720 as a Malzdarre (malt roasting plant) for citizens with the right to brew. This malt kiln and two others were built on the basis of a decree of 1718, which for fire protection reasons only allowed roasting malt in breweries with a solidly vaulted kiln . The widespread opinion that the building originally served as a bastion has so far been confirmed neither by sources nor by building findings. As in the connected buildings at Klosterplatz 2 and 4, parts of the city wall are integrated into the north side of the building. The use of the malt kiln was given up in 1734, and from 1751 the building served the merchant Joachim Schmidt as a warehouse. From 1842–1852 the councilor Heinrich Kittel ran a cloth factory here, after which it was used as a warehouse and from 1876 to 1901 as a fur drying plant. It was not until 1934–1936 that the building was saved from deterioration by converting it into a hostel and reconstructing the front facade. The design was made by Max Hanke and City Planning Officer Schröder under the supervision of Provincial Conservator Blunk from the Preservation Department. In 1990–1992 the hostel was renovated again and reopened as a youth hostel.
09100064	Klosterplatz 4 ( location )	Kreisstockhaus (residential building)	The former Kreisstockhaus was built in 1826 as a criminal prison for the courts of the noble landlords of the Cottbus district on an existing building fragment with barrel vaults, with parts of the medieval city wall being integrated into the north wall here, as in the neighboring buildings. After the patrimonial courts were abolished, the building was taken over by the Cottbus district in 1849 and bought by the city in 1893. During the renovation in 1996/97, the prison structure, which had been preserved down to the last detail, was unfortunately removed, including the holding cells and chimney systems. The right door, which originally led to the holding cells, was also bricked up. The door on the left led separately to the prison guard's apartment. The roof structure was also renewed during the reconstruction and bat dormers were added on the roof and a balcony on the north side. Despite the construction work, which led to the loss of the historical substance, the building is one of the oldest prison buildings in the state of Brandenburg that was no longer housed in a city wall tower.
09100066	Klosterplatz 5 ( location )	Former cloth factory and house	The building from the founding phase of the Cottbus textile industry was built in the first third of the 19th century on a part of a house directly on the city wall, which was first mentioned in 1754. The western cellar with a groin vault probably dates from this time. The house had been in the possession of a manufacturer since 1823, who built a new two-story house here. Johann Samuel Kittel ran a cloth factory here from 1842 and Johann Friedrich Schranke ran a spinning mill from 1851. In 1876, the cloth manufacturer August Hermann Zeidler is named as the owner. In the early 1990s the building was renovated, the roof structure was renewed, bat dormers were put on and the vaulted cellar was expanded into a restaurant.

09100067	Klosterstrasse 19 ( location )	Rectory	The second rectory of the monastery church at Klosterstrasse 19 was built around 1850 on the site of a half-timbered building from the 17th century. According to the municipal act in 1833, the rectory at that time was in poor condition and practically uninhabitable. The building is almost identical to the adjacent rectory at Klosterplatz 1 and shares an ornamental garden with it. It is also a simple two-story plastered building. The rectory, with its simple classical facade design and the preserved building fabric, is one of the last well-preserved buildings from the middle of the 19th century.

09100379	Lausitzer Strasse 36 ( location )	Rental house with side and transverse building	The three-story apartment building at Lausitzer Straße 36 is a plastered building with a flat roof and was built around 1900 in Art Nouveau style. A medium risk stands out on the front . The building has unadorned rectangular windows. The red front door is set back a little and has a skylight. The first floor is visually separated from the second floor by a wide base cornice decorated with floral ornaments. Some of the windows on the second floor have a round-arched roof. These are each decorated with 3 stucco ornaments. Above the window on the second floor, directly above the entrance, there is a triangular roof decorated with a lion's head ornament with a crown. A window cornice visually separates the third from the second floor. There is an eaves cornice under the flat roof. In some places the plaster has crumbled off and bricks are showing. The side and transverse buildings are located on the back of the rental apartment building and cannot be seen from the outside.
09100221	Lausitzer Strasse 43 ( location )	Rental house with courtyard building and courtyard wall	The rental house was built in the years 1903–1904 by master builder H. Pabel & Co. A master painter named H. Hentschel placed the order for this. This aspect is important because the stairwell is characterized by imposing wall paintings. Decorative motifs, partly made with stencils or freehand technique, depict plants and exotic beauties in profile view. Today, this type of design can be assigned to eclecticism . Such an effort in stair design was not uncommon in the imperial era. Today it is the only completely preserved staircase painting in the western part of Cottbus. But the building also impresses from the outside with its elaborate facade decor and impressive Art Nouveau details. Motifs such as squirrels, owls and beehives, which are also to be understood symbolically, are located on the front. Partly hand-made leaf ornaments and figurative representations find their place as well as a cartouche with three shields below the gable. These are to be understood as the emblem of the builder's guild. Cornices were incorporated into the two lower floors to create a visual structure, while pilaster strips created a structure in the upper two. An attic level and a central facing gable form the end. Both the courtyard enclosure and the buildings on it were designed in polychrome, in this case made of sand-lime brick and clinker.
09100331	Lessingstrasse 2 ( location )	Rental house	The rental house was built in 1912 for the businessman Gerhard Buchelt. The architect Arthur Wiedemann was responsible for construction management and planning. In 1968, maintenance work was carried out on the roof and the balconies to preserve the building. A comprehensive renovation and restoration took place in the 1990s. Windows were renewed, the roof removed and the courtyard front modernized. The facade is characterized by the interplay of recessed and protruding, straight and curved surfaces. The building has a Berlin roof and a high, curved eaves that overhangs the central bay window . In contrast to this, the wall surface between the bay window and the eaves is strongly concave. The colossal, fluted pilaster strips on the upper floors and the protruding cornices set a striking accentuation of the structure. Plaster ornaments in flat relief can be found on the parapet and lintel zones of the windows. The front door is flanked by convex curved walls, and on both sides there are concave balconies with a wrought iron parapet. The building is accessed via a slightly spiral staircase with a U-shaped stairwell. The basic structure of the building is designed with a central bay and a gable-like eaves zone. Furthermore, the facade shows a tendency towards Art Nouveau, as the smooth facade areas gradually become three-dimensional bodies. The house has been adapted to the neighboring buildings and, compared to them, has a much higher design quality. The building is a unique document of Cottbus architecture of the early 20th century.
09100261	Leuthener Strasse 8-18, Drebkauer Strasse 20/21, 24/25 ( location )	Leuthener Strasse residential complex	The residential complex was built in stages from 1926 and is characterized by a late expressionist design. Various designs have been used in this residential complex. The three-story buildings have gable roofs with hipped dormer windows and gable roofs with gable triangles in the stair area. All buildings are plastered buildings. The ground floor is often optically separated from the other floors by a cornice . The ground floor of one of the buildings is banded at regular intervals. There are also buildings with triangular oriels , slightly protruding oriels or cornered, slightly protruding oriels. Some plaster motifs have been applied to these bay windows, such as B. a small sailboat or a woman with two children. Another facade design is visible in the stairwell area. There is a three-tiered framing of the windows on the first and second floors, which has a decorative frieze. The buildings were renovated and the plaster colored and the frames and plaster motifs highlighted in color. The buildings at Drebkauer Straße 20/21 are three-story residential buildings. There are shops on the ground floor. No. 20 is a plastered building in which the ground floor was built in clinker construction. The entrance area of ​​one building can be found on the right front side, and the stairwell is designed like a risalit. The building at Drebkauer Strasse 21 was erected in 1924. The building is the end of a row of buildings. On the right side of the front there is a bay window on the first and second floors. This is accentuated by parallel, even banding. In both buildings, the ground floor is separated from the other floors. This was achieved by means of a rolling layer tape or simple plaster tape. The buildings have a gable roof (No. 20) or a hipped roof (No. 21) with dormers and are eaves.
09100335	Lieberoser Strasse 1 / 1a ( location )	Rental apartment and commercial building	The apartment building was built in 1888 as a corner building on Berliner Straße. In 1899, the extension to the north was built on Lieberoser Strasse with a unique appearance. Both parts of the house are accessed via a staircase in the younger building. The construction was commissioned by the master baker Behle. The younger building was built by the construction company Hermann Pabel & Co. The ground floor was initially used by a bakery. The shop windows and the shop door were later converted into windows. The corner building has a flat roof, a facade with a width of four to four axes and a sloping edge of the house, where the shop entrance was originally to be found. The ground floor is covered with plastering and the upper floor with plaster tapes. The windows on the first floor are formed in pairs and framed by pilasters and cornice roofing. On the top floor, the windows are crowned by retracted round gables, which surround medallions with semi-relief figures. Between the consoles of the protruding cornice there are jamb windows or ornamental panels. The extension has an L-shaped floor plan and a high pitched roof. The first floor originally had the inscription “Hermann Kuba's Bakery”. Furthermore, it has plaster bands covered by frieze zones. The windows on the upper floor are also arranged in pairs. These have a multi-storey, floral Art Nouveau decor and winged putti . The side axis, on the other hand, has varying window shapes on each floor, which are framed by pilasters and facing gables. The house entrance can also be found here with a double-leaf door from the construction period. The two buildings are of urban significance because they belong to eclecticism, historicism and Art Nouveau. They document the development of the individual styles.
09100148	Lieberoser Strasse 7 ( location )	Residential house (Biedermeier house) with outbuildings and garden	The Biedermeier house was a detached house in the middle of a large garden in 1827. In the same year the merchant and manor owner Johann Friedrich Samuel Müller bought it, who then converted it into a house. At that time it was still one of the suburban houses. The factory owner Gustav Krüger bought it in the mid-1920s and refurbished the house. It was later taken over by the Fuchs family. The large outside staircase is characteristic, and the old trees are also worth mentioning. The front part of this object was framed by farm buildings on the left and right. In the middle, a large roundabout was created, which was constantly planted with flowers according to the season. Two box and two lilac trees flanked the house entrance. Thanks to this special construction, the entrance area with the outside staircase was easily accessible to society in horse-drawn carriages. From the back of the house, a smaller staircase led to a lower-lying flower garden. At the end of this area there was a fruit and vegetable garden, which was separated from the residential garden by a naturally grown hedge. Only a quarter of this part of the garden is left after the construction of Lessingstrasse. From around 1950 to 1970 the building was used as a school day care center, where pupils from 1st to 4th grade were used. Classes of the 5th Polytechnic High School "Carl Blechen" were supervised. The Cottbus registry office later used these rooms for weddings, and it was the district house of German-Soviet friendship . In 1991 the owners, expropriated in 1950, got this property back. This old, beautiful house was restored until 1997 and now shines in new splendor. The original furnishings of the dining room from 1890, which have survived the decades undamaged, are particularly worth mentioning.	more pictures
09100149	Lieberoser Strasse 12 ( location )	Brunschwig manor house	The detached house was built in the first half of the 19th century in the classical style as part of the Brunschwig estate. Parts of the estate and the park can still be seen. The house is a seven-axis plastered building with a crooked hip roof. The facade on the courtyard side is defined in the middle of the house by a staircase and a gable triangle in the roof area. On this side, the main floor windows with profile framing are connected by narrow cornice. Other windows are framed by simple, recessed bezels. On the east side there is a tower-like, beveled porch with a round arched window. Preserved construction-time equipment details are z. B. the patio door with decorative bars, doors in the attic and the stairs with railings made of profile bars. In 1900 a renovation took place, in which the ceiling stucco with colored paintings and double-leaf coffered doors with lavish neo-baroque overhangs were created. A room-high stove with colorful ornamented tiles and a crown can be seen in the salon. There is also a wall-mounted, wooden seating corner installation under a strong cornice roofing and an integrated aedicule-like framed door. The original courtyard entrance is paved with natural stone. Today there is a guest house in the manor house.
09100336	Lieberoser Strasse 13 ( location )	Agricultural school with forestry office including the enclosure	The building complex was built in 1925/26 as a training institute for the Agricultural Chamber of the Province of Brandenburg for the theoretical training of farmers. At that time, the housekeeping school was included in the basement , and the teacher's apartments were on the top floor. In 1926 an extension was planned and implemented in 1929, which was to structurally connect the school with the forestry office on the right side. Architecturally, this complex follows the classicism-oriented conception of style from the construction period as well as moderate modernism through the angled shape of the building and the slight asymmetry. The two-storey L-shaped plastered building stands at the apex of the fork in the street Lieberoser Straße / Gulbener Straße. In the 1970s and 1980s, the facade was simplified during repair work by removing the parapet mirrors from the main floor windows and the gable decoration on the central projectile. The single-storey extension on the narrow side of Gulbener Strasse was also expanded and raised. The upper floors are provided with rough plaster, the basement with smooth plaster. The high ground floor windows are in small pieces, connected via base cornices and framed by smooth plaster panels with cornice roofing. The windows on the upper floor are more restrained and smaller. The main front facing the fork in the road is concave and is clearly emphasized by a gabled central projection and a row of bat dormers in the hipped roof. The entrance on the north side is designed like a portal and is accessed via a gently curved two-flight flight of stairs. On the narrow side there are risal structures. The extension has six axes with a regular arrangement of the windows without any prominent details. The main front on the courtyard side shows a central head building under a hipped roof. The side entrance is located here. The originally free-standing two-storey forestry office has a square floor plan, also with a hipped roof. Since the construction of the extension building, this side has appeared as a front building of the agricultural school, projected on both sides like a risk. On the west side there is a single-storey entrance porch, on the courtyard side there is an octagonal bay window. The construction-time fencing of the 3500 m² property consists of solidly plastered pillars (some with spherical crowning) that enclose the grid fence fields on brick bases.
09100240	Lieberoser Strasse 35/36 ( location )	Office and warehouse as well as factory building of the company W. Michovius	In 1911 the former office, warehouse and production building was built as the headquarters of the cloth wholesale and shipping company W. Michovius KG. The construction was carried out by the construction companies Dümpert & Hauke ​​and Hermann Pabel & Co. In 1910, the company, which was managed by the heirs at the time, decided to build a new building on the east side of Lieberoser Straße. In 1928, the Cottbus architects Stiefler & Könecke added a single-axis head building to the narrow eastern side. The building has a T-shaped floor plan and was built as a reinforced concrete structure. It also has a high basement and a flat roof forms the end. The facade is 15 axes wide and is structured by means of pilaster-framed side and central projections as well as gently curved and flat glazed gables. The windows on the main floors have framing colossal pilasters. The rhythm of the facade is supported by friezes and ornamented parapet fields. The risalites were very elaborately designed. The pilasters have Ionic capitals and the parapets have large cartouches. There is a cartouche with the initials of the company founder "WM" in the gable of the three-axis central risalit, where the main entrance is located. The profiled eaves cornice is continued in the gable cornices. The entrance doors and lattice windows are built during the construction period. The storage rooms are divided inside by lintels in the reinforced concrete structure. An elegant banister is attached to the central staircase. The facade of the modern building construction in the neo-classical style can be regarded as representative as well as appropriate.
09100282	Lindenplatz ( location )	Plastic "piggyback boys" at the space flight planetarium	The piggyback boys, a bronze sculpture, represent a life-size group of people standing on a brick plinth and located on Lindenplatz in Cottbus-Sandow. Four young people can be seen with two children sitting on the shoulders of two men, holding a cloth in their hands that is flapping over their heads in the wind. You can feel the joy and exuberance of the people. The sculpture must have been made at the end of the 1970s and is a listed building. The scene could have been re-enacted when Sigmund Jähn , the first cosmonaut in the GDR, was welcomed by the population after his flight into space in September 1978. The location is exactly opposite the space flight planetarium. However, there is no concrete information about the reason for this sculpture. It comes from the sculptor Heinz Mamat (1930–2017), who lived in Cottbus since 1962. He prefers materials such as bronze, granite, concrete and plaster for his works of art. One of his many works is the Ehrenhain in the Pushkinpromenade in Cottbus from 1979. Other well-known sculptures by him are in Frankfurt / Oder and in Spremberg.	more pictures
09100139	Lindenplatz 21 ( location )	Space flight planetarium "Yuri Gagarin"	The Cottbus space flight planetarium "Juri Gagarin" was opened on April 26, 1974 after almost two years of construction. Until December 2012, a star projector “Spacemaster - Raumflugplanetarium” from Carl Zeiss Jena was in use in the planetarium . The dome room has a diameter of 12.5 meters and could accommodate 156 people. After almost 39 years of operation, this technology was replaced by a hybrid projection system in spring 2013. This includes the optomechanical star projector "Chronos II" from the Japanese company Goto, synchronized with a 2-channel full-dome HD video system from RSA Cosmos in France. As part of the modernization, the number of seats was reduced to 91. The planetarium was reopened on June 19, 2013 and has since been one of the most modern in Europe. Day becomes night, and this enables everyone to follow a journey through time from the past to the future under the starry sky, and to get to know foreign galaxies. Events for school classes who are currently taking astronomy lessons are particularly in demand. Astronomers can marvel at new things from the universe at any time. Not only is there entertainment for adults, there are also children's shows. The youngest get to know the stars and much more in age-appropriate stories. The planetarium also offers popular science programs, and even concerts are on offer here. For foreign visitors, the events are offered in their native language.	more pictures
09100111	Lindenplatz 25–35, Hainstraße 22, 23, Wehrpromenade 1, 2 ( location )	Small Spreewehr monument ensemble: Territory between the weir promenade and the railway line or the banks of the Spree and Hainstrasse / Lindenplatz with the four short residential slabs, the residential area restaurant, the ambulance and the space flight planetarium, including the adjacent landscape of the Spreeaue and Ludwig-Leichhardt-Allee	The Kleine Spreewehr is a monument ensemble between the weir promenade, the railway line and the bank of the Spree. The Ludwig-Leichhardt-Allee runs east of the banks of the Spree. The name of this avenue goes back to the former geographer and Australia explorer Ludwig Leichhardt (lost 1813–1848). He went to school in Cottbus. The path begins at the Sandower Bridge. Magnificent chestnut trees that were planted in 1901 adorn the path to the left and right of this avenue. In the course of the path you will come across the restaurant “Kleines Spreewehr” which was destroyed by fire in 2007 on the left. This vacant building once also housed a food market. Right next door is the former Sandower Medical Center, which was closed due to the new “Ostrower Tor” building. A few meters further on, you can discover the Small Spreewehr, which was damaged by a flood in 1850. At that time made of wood, it was replaced by a concrete structure in 1927. When it was destroyed in the war in 1945, the electrical works built in 1902 could no longer be operated. A little further you can reach the space flight planetarium, which was built in 1973/1974. It bears the name of the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. This scientific and cultural monument is an interesting starting point for both children and adults.
09100147	Löbensweg 18 ( location )	Nordfriedhof complete complex	A cemetery was laid out on the northern border of the city of Cottbus in 1870 and enlarged in 1892. The north cemetery was built in a strict form. A straight path from the main gate to the celebration hall and a transverse axis divide the total area into four main fields. The graves with the monuments of the affluent society lie on the wall and fence. In 1928 the family cemetery of the Brunschwig owners Korn and the new Brunschwigfriedhof were included in the overall area. A new chapel was built, which was consecrated in September 1929. Today the north cemetery is largely park-like, but family graves are still buried. Commemorative plaques attached to the west and south walls still remind of the earlier economic life as well as the cultural and spiritual life in Cottbus. The interested visitor finds z. B. the grave of the artistic director Ludwig Spannuth-Bodenstedt (1880–1930) and the tomb of Hugo Ruff (1843–1924), co-founder of the Association for Local History. The honorary citizen and painter Elisabeth Wolf also found her final resting place in the north cemetery. The graves of Dr. Vera Heppler and her three children, then living on Leipziger Strasse, are a silent reminder to the living, because they lost their lives on February 15, 1945 in the Allied bombing raid on Cottbus. Today, a simple plaque in the front area of ​​the north cemetery commemorates the great son of the Sorbian people Gotthold Schwela , who died in 1948 .
09100150	Ludwig-Leichhardt-Allee / Franz-Mehring-Straße ( location )	Ludwig Leichhardt memorial stone with plaque	Ludwig-Leichhardt-Allee runs east of the bank of the Spree. The name of this avenue goes back to the former geographer and Australia explorer Ludwig Leichhardt (lost 1813–1848). He went to school in Cottbus. The paved bike and hiking trail begins at the Sandower Bridge. A boulder with a plaque marks the beginning of the avenue. The path is bordered on the sides by chestnut trees that were planted in 1901. Passing the Kleiner Spreewehr, it ends near the planetarium.	more pictures
09100177	Lutherkirchplatz 1 ( location )	Luther Church	The Luther Church is one of the younger Protestant churches in the city of Cottbus. Until a few years ago it was the tallest building in the south of Cottbus, now it has moved closer to the city center. The Luther Church was built in 1911/1912 according to the plans of the Berlin architect Robert Leibnitz . In a bomb attack in February 1945, the church was almost completely destroyed and was then to be demolished. Thanks to a large donation campaign by the community, the church was saved from demolition and inaugurated again in 1951. The repair of external war damage dragged on until 1978, during which numerous Art Nouveau elements were lost. Today the interior is kept very simple, the pulpit and altar are made of clinker masonry. The Luther memorial created in 1910/1911 by the sculptor Heinrich Goetschmann was erected in 1983 in the immediate vicinity of the church.	more pictures
09100255	Lutherstrasse 5 ( location )	Rental house	The four-axle rental apartment and commercial building was built at the end of 1901 on behalf of Fritz Pondygroch. The planning was carried out by the architect Carl Siechler. After the building was completed in 1902, the businessman Adalbert Schüttge bought and rented the house. In 1912 the house became the property of Niederlausitzer Bank AG. The ground floor with the courtyard passage on the left has an inconspicuous plaster block. The half-round window and the passage are of frieze-like flashed stucco elements where there are flowers and crest-shaped cartridges. A continuous sill cornice separates the ground floor from the first floor. All windows have an aedicular frame that varies on each floor . The window in the third axis is also framed by pilasters . The semicircular windows above on the second and third floors are recessed and asymmetrical to the floor. The year 1902 is incorporated into a stucco element above the window on the first axis. There are stucco ornaments between the girdle and the sill cornice on the first floor. Small, window-wide stucco work can be found under the sills of the rectangular windows on the third floor. The third axis is closed with a hatch that has an attached gable with two turrets and a tent roof-shaped roof structure. It is flanked by two dormers. A smaller hatch closes the first axis. A three-storey rear building was added in 1905. The building was built in a row and using late historical forms.
09100256	Lutherstrasse 19 ( location )	Rental house	The four-storey apartment building is a clinker brick building with seven axes and was built in 1902. The third and fourth axes are designed as a risalit with a crowned gable. Leaf scroll ornaments are worked into the gable over a small semicircular window. Under the semicircular window, an ornament in the form of a large leaf with the inscription "AW 1902" decorates the building. To the left of the risalit there is a dormer on the pent roof , to the right there are two dormer windows. The door and window frames are green. The first floor is plastered in yellow and separated from the second by a cornice decorated with octagonal stucco. The windows on the second and third floors have an unadorned semicircular roof. The two windows in the risalit are separated on the second floor by two ornaments with flower tendrils and a beehive each. The semicircular roofs of the windows on the third floor in the risalit are decorated with stucco in ribbon form. The bright plastering of the ornaments, stucco and window frames stand out visually well from the red clinker plaster building.
09100151	Madlower Hauptstrasse ( location )	Prussian postal milestone	This round granite base stone can be found near the tram stop of the Madlow bathing lake. Construction of the road from Spremberg to Cottbus was completed in 1837, and it is believed that the milestone was set at that time. The still recognizable upper part has the shape of a truncated cone with a height of 84 cm, in the lower part the diameter is 42 cm and in the upper part 36 cm. The base, buried in the unpaved side strip, measures 50 cm in diameter. The 30–40 cm long, machined part of the approx. 100 cm long base is no longer recognizable today. In relation to neighboring milestones, one can assume that the inscription, which is no longer visible, read "XVIII MEILEN BIS BERLIN".
09100153	Madlower Schulstrasse ( location )	Madlow village church	The Martinskirche in Cottbus is located a bit outside, in an idyllic location between the villages of Kiekebusch and Madlow. According to ancient traditions, the Gothic church is said to be the oldest in and around Cottbus. It is dedicated to Martin von Tours , one of the most famous saints of the Catholic Church. The Martinskirche was built in the 14th century. The structurally younger tower and the rectangular nave are made of brick. The sacristy that was added later is made of field stone. The lower part of the tower is subdivided, and the upper floors are horizontally separated and loosened up by panels. The tower bells date from the 15th century. The inner wooden ceiling is built in the shape of a coffin lid and provides special acoustics. In 1975 the interior of the Martinskirche was renovated and the 19th century furnishings were completely removed. An organ built by the Löbling company from Erfurt has been in the church since 1988 and is used for various organ concerts.	more pictures
09100011	Magazinstrasse 28 ( location )	Military guard building and armory	Magazinstrasse is one of the oldest streets in Cottbus. The building at Magazinstraße 28 was built as the armory of the Third Guard Landwehr Battalion stationed from the castle and belonged to the castle until 1871. In the following years the house was repaired with great loss of substance, which resulted in a ceiling collapse in 1959 due to sponge infestation. In 1960 the half-timbered inner walls were torn down and massive ceiling and wall structures were installed. During the renovation in 2000 and 2001, the roof structure was renewed and new dormers were moved. An elongated, two-story, four-axis plastered building with a strict, early classicist facade structure was created. A high gable roof forms the end . The ground floor is highlighted by a base zone and emphasized by a plaster block. There are triple windows on the facade, which are covered by deep, flat-arched panels on the ground floor and connected by a cornice on the upper floor. The southern gable side is framed by flat corner pilaster strips , the northern side with a group of three windows and three small circular openings in the gable. With its facade design, the former armory points to the architecture of the time around 1800. The building at Magazinstrasse 28 has belonged to the district court since 2000; today the family court is located there.
09100311	Marienstraße 21, 22 ( location )	Building group consisting of two rental apartment buildings	These similarly designed plastered buildings with mansard roofs were built in 1911/12 and show the typical elements (loggias, three-part windows, flat, restrained plaster ornaments) of the post-1900 architecture influenced by the “reform movement”. The ground floors are set back in the middle, and the resulting vestibules with house and cellar entrances are supported in the middle by round pillars on pedestals . These vestibules are decorated with a volute gable with garlands. The vestibules are closed off from the street by massive balusters. The central axes of the two upper floors are each equipped with three-part windows. The second floor is arched with an oval rung field and a crowning frieze field. Here the massive dividing posts are connected with plaster strips and the parapet areas between them are decorated with garlands. Cross-storey, flat pilasters surround the windows. There are loggias to the side of the central axis. The upper ones are provided with round pillars . The windows of the outer axes are also decorated with parapets and are accompanied by colossal pilasters. All pilasters and round pillars are constructed with highly stylized geometric capitals .
09100312	Marienstraße 28 ( location )	Rental house	This apartment building with a finely crafted late classicistic plaster facade was built in 1976. In 1996/97 a restoration of the facade and the entrance area followed, an interior renovation and a renewal of the roof trusses. The windows were modeled on the historical model. The plaster facade is symmetrically structured. The ground floor was provided with a fine joint cut and wall openings cut into segments. In the middle of the facade is the passage to the courtyard. On the three upper floors, the windows are grouped in pairs under differently worked cornice roofs. The windows on the first floor are also framed by pilasters . The central axis of the first two floors was accentuated by more sculptural pilasters and stronger cornice roofing and the crowning segmented arched gable with the date of construction embedded in foliage. Here, the windows are also accompanied by vertical plastered fields and enhanced with ornamental friezes in the lintel and sill area. In 1997 the balcony above the through gate was reconstructed based on historical photographs. The architectural decorations (cornices, roofs, frames, etc.) made of terracotta were only marbled during the restoration work. The Wendelstein staircase and the floor plan of the apartments have been preserved. In the passage there is a decorative ceiling and wall painting, which shows tendrils based on ancient models. In 1997 two versions were uncovered here and connected in the course of the restoration.

09100081	Marktstrasse 7, 8 ( location )	Residential houses	The residential building at Marktstrasse 7 was probably built in the second half of the 19th century. The mansard roof of the originally two-story house was later converted into a full floor. The use of restaurants can be traced back to 1876. During the overall reconstruction in 1981, massive changes were made to the existing structure. Further changes to the interior were made after 1991. By including No. 8 in the use of the restaurant, building No. 7 has no street-side entrance. The residents of building no. 7 can only enter the house through the entrance of today's restaurant "Roma". The facade structure on the ground floor with the pilaster structure , including the window shapes, is a design idea from the 1990s. The facade on the upper floors is structured vertically by pilasters that separate the axes. The flat arched end of the window is framed by a strong plaster tape. The house is one of the last two buildings from around 1800 in the Neumarkt area, at least in their basic substance preserved. The facade (mansard roof, window decorations), which was once influenced by Potsdam's late baroque ( plait style ), is only still evident on the first floor. The interior has been changed several times with loss of substance, most recently in the 1990s. The roof was provided with dormers as early as the 19th century . The facade structure on the ground floor was removed as early as 1950. In 1948 there were still three arched openings with keystones and doorways as well as transom profiles, pilaster frames and entablature. During the renovation in 1953, today's, simply uncut, high rectangular window and door shape was chosen. The building is an eaves, two-storey plastered structure with five axes under a mansard roof. The barrel vaults in the cellar are probably still from the previous building. The house is one of the few historical buildings around Neumarkt that have been preserved. Due to its age and late baroque character, it documents together with the neighboring No. 7 as the only example of the building structure that dominated here in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
09100054	Marktstrasse 14 ( location )	"Zum Merkur" apartment building for sale and rent	The rental apartment and commercial building was built in 1896 by the builder Paul Broeßke. This former laundry and equipment store "Merkur", owned by Marie Lehmann, burned down to the second floor in 1902. In 1910 the department store was reopened by the company Richter und Co. In 1913 Paul Löst's men's clothing store moved into this building. On the lower floor, the companies changed frequently and with them the use. Today the “Da Capo ice cream parlor” is located in the basement of Marktstrasse 14, which opened in 2006. In 1983 extensive restoration work took place on the facade. The floor plan changed as a result of the interior modernization in 1992/93. On the ground floor, the shop windows that were still under construction were renewed and the shop entrance was moved from the corner of the building to the side of the old market. The representative, four-storey corner building with eleven axes was built in historical, predominantly neo-baroque forms under a Berlin roof facing Marktstrasse and with two axes facing the Altmarkt. The corner of the building with the three-storey round bay window is emphasized by the gilded figure of Mercury , with a herald's staff and winged hat. Above the figure of Mercury is the year 1896 and between the cornice the inscription "Zum Merkur". The facade was designed very lavishly and vividly, which was quite common for the time. The ground floor has a plastering, and the two middle floors are combined by colossal pilasters that rest on ornate cartridge consoles. The various twin and triple windows are highlighted on the first floor by shell work and cartouches. The upper floor resumes the structure of the middle floors and ends with imaginative stucco consoles and ornaments. The roof landscape is enlivened with different dormers and a gable with a rounded arch. The connection between sculptures and inscriptions is also a characteristic of late founding architecture of representation and decoration.
09100020	Mauerstrasse ( location )	Linden gate	In 1879 the old wall tower of the city wall was broken through and then served as the official city gate. This created a short connection to the newly built telegraph office and the Buttermarkt (Berliner Platz). Both were in front of the old town. At first this goal was called a breakthrough. The gate was later also called the Judentor because the old synagogue was next to it. A magnificent linden tree grew immediately in front of the gate. That is why the gate was given the name Lindenpforte, which is still used today. A stagecoach monument in honor of the Cottbus stagecoach has been standing at the Lindenpforte since April 2006.
09100015	Mauerstraße 4-6 ( location )	Police station	The area of ​​today's Mauerstraße was built on around 1700, it originally ran along the inside of the western city wall from Berliner Straße to Spremberger Tor, but the development can no longer be traced back to the origin. Around 1780 the employees of the Cottbus cloth factories lived in the wool spinning houses to the right and left of today's Lindenpforte. The buildings on the city wall to the left of the linden gate once belonged to wealthy Huguenots, and later around 1850 to the well-off Jews of the city. In the years 1904/05 major renovations were carried out on one of the buildings in order to serve the purpose of a police prison. In 1908 the police station in the state of Brandenburg settled in the houses at Mauerstrasse 4-6. It is now the oldest police building in the country. Further conversions and additions took place in 1935/1936. Three Wieck houses of the city wall were included in the building complex. The southern one was completely rebuilt in 1935 and received a very high, historically unproven eight-sided seat helmet. Fragments of new wall sections, a hipped roof and the two-storey, multi-part plastered building with cross-frame windows underline the medieval substance. New accents were set by means of mid-houses with staggered gables above the entrances on Mauerstraße. A base, the door frames with fluted reveal and the window frames are set off from the light plaster by dark clinker bricks. The additions on the E-shaped floor plan, which form two small courtyards in the direction of the wall, are freely added. The Wieck houses therefore consist of the restored original substance and free additions. The south side is adorned with a large-format ceramic mural by Kurt Heinz Sieger (signed 1969) with Spreewald motifs. Most recently, several interior fittings took place in 1993/94. Today the houses in Mauerstrasse 4–6 house the police station and the prevention department.

09100232	Münzstrasse 10 ( location )	Factory building	The building, erected in 1855, directly on Pushkin Park, was used as a warehouse for jersey days until around 1990. Then it stood empty for a long time until it was renovated by a building owners' association in 2009/10. The result is a modern senior citizens' residence that meets today's building regulations, but has retained the listed exterior facade. The five-storey plastered building with a gable roof stands on a T-shaped floor plan. On the long side of the building, which points towards the old town, there is a central risalit that ends with a triangular gable . The plastered building has a roof terrace with a brick parapet to the left and right of the risalit. The facade is divided by cornices to visually structure the floors, different window shapes - arched windows , French windows - and balconies characterize the facade. In the symmetrical gable side there are also three arched windows per floor, also in the triangular gable but without a skylight. Eaves .	more pictures
09100021	Münzstrasse 13 ( location )	Mint tower	The city fortifications were built in the 15th century, including in Münzstraße. The boundaries of the old town are still clearly visible today through large contiguous parts of the former ramparts and moats. Large parts of the city wall were newly restored or supplemented in the years 1934–1938. In the 1970s, some Wiekhäuser that had been built in at regular intervals for defense and stabilization were demolished. In 1983, the partial renovation began in order to preserve the historically valuable entire complex. One of the towers belonging to the fortification is the Mint Tower. It is said to have served as a mint in the Middle Ages and still forms the northeast corner of the city wall today. In the Münzstraße area, the Münzturm was carefully renovated as part of the renewal of the city wall. The tower is made of brick and has a diamond pattern made of dark glazed bricks. A helmet construction completes the superstructure. The renovation work was completed in April 1993.
09100244	Muskauer Platz 1a ( location )	School building, gymnasium and sanitary building of the 2nd secondary school	In October 1913 the large brick house in neo-Gothic style on Muskauer Platz was inaugurated as the 5th and 6th community school in Cottbus. The school complex included the main building with one part for 396 boys and the other part with around 170 girls. The school operation, which was separated by sex, provided two school names. On the floor you can still see the separation by glass walls in all corridor areas. The yard area was also separated by a wire fence from the doors to the middle of the old toilet building. In April 1944, teaching had to be stopped. The school was used as a refugee camp until May 1945. In February 1945, she was hit by several Anglo-American aerial bombs. The north wing of the main building and the outbuilding were destroyed and should be lost forever. From October 1945 the school was put back into operation. In 2000 it was named "Sandower Realschule". A school museum was set up for the 88th anniversary. In 2007, work began on the reconstruction of the building. The Carl Blechen primary school then moved into the building. The building is a three-story brick building with a hipped roof . The facade is characterized by the color combination of the windows on the two upper floors and the striking gables crowned with decorative turrets. There are plaster mirrors with varying stucco elements between the windows of the upper floors. Two risalits dominate the eastern facade.
09100119	Muskauer Strasse 2–6, 4a – e, 5, 6a – e, 7a – e, Hans-Beimler-Strasse 27–32 ( location )	Residential building ensemble Muskauer Strasse	The residential ensemble on Muskauer Strasse was built around 1930. It bordered an allotment garden and was on the outskirts at the time of construction. The three-storey block with the numbers 2–7 is located directly on the main street, the two-storey transverse blocks (4a – e, 6a – e and 7a – e) are directly behind it. They were built according to the line and row construction. These plastered buildings have a basement and were equipped with stove heating. The covered entrances, the flat roof and the facade are simply designed. Like many other residential buildings, these were fully renovated and modernized in 1993. In 1966 the cooperative residential buildings were integrated into the Sandow residential area. The street later got the name of Artur Becker, after 1990 it got the old name back. The attached new slab building at Muskauer Strasse 7-8 on Hauptstrasse was dismantled to create a uniform image again. Roof, window and sanitary renewals followed. In block 4a-e, the kitchen and bathroom are equipped with a window, and a balcony has been added for each residential unit. Some differences have remained: On the building on Hauptstrasse, the balconies have been added to the rear facade, the transverse blocks behind them to the front, and the window fronts vary in the individual blocks. The entire ensemble was given full insulation protection and a new exterior color. The yellow facades form a remarkable contrast to the dark red window frames and entrance doors. The quality of living for tenants has improved, and all buildings are now supplied with district heating. The two two-story apartment blocks at Hans-Beimler-Straße 27–32 also belong to this ensemble due to the way they are built.
09100087	Neumarkt 5 ( location )	new town hall	The building was built from 1934 to 1937 according to the plans of the municipal building authority. During the construction of the New Town Hall, the house where Carl Blechen was born was demolished. A plaque commemorates its location. Originally the building had only three floors and four floors along Berliner Straße and was crowned by a high pitched roof . A mighty Roland figure stood above the main entrance at the time . In April 1945 the building burned out almost completely and was only poorly restored. In the years 1966 to 1967 the town hall was increased to five floors and got a flat roof. The town hall with its smooth outer surfaces is completely faced with Ilse iron clinkers. With the flush-fitting windows, it looks sober at first glance, but has some special features. On the side of the building facing Berliner Straße there is an arcade with round arches, in the gusset of which twelve craft symbols are emblazoned. The portal at Neumarkt is adorned with stone carvings, and there is a bay window on the north-west corner . In addition, the Cottbus heraldic animal, the cancer, is depicted from darker bricks on two building edges. Next to the entrance to the courtyard on Mauerstraße is the figure “Mother with Child”. The almost square building has only two straight fronts, the other two are slightly arched, the front facing Mauerstrasse is convex and the one facing Marktstrasse is concave . From 1995 to 1998 the building was extensively renovated.	more pictures
09100154	Neumarkt 5 ( location )	Carl Blechen memorial plaque	With the construction of the new Cottbus town hall in 1934, the house where the painter Carl Blechen was born was demolished and a plaque commemorates this. It reads: "This is where the birthplace of the famous painter Carl Blechen stood from 1798–1840". Carl Blechen was born on July 29, 1798 in Cottbus. His parents' house was on Luckische Gasse (today Berliner Strasse / corner of Mauerstrasse). He attended the Lyceum at the Upper Church for 10 years, where he discovered his passion for painting through his friendship with Christian Gottfried Lemmrich. He was the first important open-air painter in Germany in the 19th century. From his long trips to Switzerland and Italy he brought back many ideas for his works, which he created in watercolor, oil, lead and chalk. His pictures and sketches can be seen in many exhibitions, including the Fürst-Pückler-Schloss in Branitzer Park. A school, a park and the shopping center, which opened in 2008, were named in his honor.
09100002	Neustädter Platz 10 ( location )	Tanner's or draper's house	The house on the south side of Neustädter Platz is a former draper's house, which was built around 1740 as part of the Cottbus Neustadt complex. At the beginning of the 19th century, the house was widened around an axis and a new roof structure and a roof drag were added. The roof train still has its former function, namely the ventilation of the attic used as a drying room. The building was renovated from 1996 to 1998. Among other things, all windows were renewed and the interior structure from the 18th century had to be abandoned. In addition, the corridor with the house stairs was removed. In connection with the loft extension, a roof drag was added to the courtyard side, and the wooden ventilation flaps were replaced by windows or boarded-up areas. The massive, two-storey plastered building has a hipped roof on one side with a circumferential roof train. The structure has five axes, the axes are irregular and the center of the structure is emphasized. The facade has a clear structure and shows a simple design. The arched door opening in the central axis is emphasized by flat wall templates that hold the building corners. For this purpose, cornices separate the storeys from one another, and the windows are provided with smooth frames interrupted by keystones. The gable side facing Breite Straße has three axes; the middle windows are there as blind windows . A secured ceiling mount from the early 19th century can be found on the upper floor. There are stencil paintings in green and blue pastel tones, which have classicistic shapes in their basic structure and motifs (foliage, lyre ). Since the building is the last surviving witness of the economic development of Cottbus in its basic substance and originates from a time when the cloth making trade was promoted, the corner house is of urban and economic significance.
09100003	Neustädter Platz 11 ( location )	Cloth maker's house	The house with a side wing was built around 1740. During this time, the property was awarded to Martin Klingmüller, and from 1791 it was owned by a cloth maker. A short time later, a single-storey side wing was added, which was raised in the second half of the 19th century. It is assumed that in this context the facade was enhanced by a decor. Around 1900 a shop was installed on the left ground floor. During the renovation in 1997/98 there were disproportionate roof structures in the attic. The monument preservation aspect was insufficiently considered here. In the interior, spatial connections to No. 10 were created by means of large wall openings, and the hallway with the stairwell was removed. A replacement can be found on the back. The building is designed as an eaves, two-storey, four-axis and massive plastered structure under a gable roof. The street view is horizontally structured by a finely stepped cornice with an interrupted tooth frieze and a simple eaves cornice . The windows on the ground floor and the entrance on the right outer axis are framed by flat plaster strips with simple keystones . On the upper floor, the parapet and lintel zones are decorated with plait garlands, and medallion-like stucco ornaments are attached between the windows. The house is significant for the former Cottbuser Neustadt and is one of the last three buildings in which the original scale and the small-scale development structure can be traced. It belongs to an ensemble with architectural and urban development relevance.
09100055	Neustädter Strasse 19 ( location )	Residential building	The building history of this three-storey corner building, adjacent to the Altmarkt, has not yet been fully clarified. Due to the cellar that still exists, it is assumed that the property was built in the late Middle Ages. The contract for the building was probably placed by Samuel F. Mund, who was listed as the owner of the property from 1794. Images from 1840 show a three-axis, two-story building with a tail gable. In the course of history, the exterior view and the interior structure have changed again and again due to multiple changes of ownership. From 1876 the merchant G. Hartwig was the new owner. He probably had an extension and the two main view sides were provided with rich late classicist decor. The end of the facade was now formed by a high jamb floor under an ornate attic . The interior structure was changed by W. Kohn, who was the owner from 1891. Adapted to the style of the time, the facades were simply designed in 1926, together with the neighboring buildings at Altmarkt 20/21. A simple stepped gable gave the Altmarkt side a new look. From 1979 to 1987 the house was completely reconstructed and the stairs were replaced. A long corridor that leads from Neustädter Straße 18 to the vaulted cellar with a central support has been preserved since it was built. This consists of mixed masonry in the base area and otherwise of monastery format bricks. From the outside, a simple building with five axes on Neustädter Strasse and three axes on the Altmarkt side appears today. The facade is defined by high-rectangular upper floor windows with narrow, straight roofs and plaster grooves. A flat monopitch roof rising from Neustädter Strasse is located above the high jamb.
09100026	Oberkirchplatz 11 ( location )	Residential building	This late baroque town house, which initially only served as a residential building, was built in 1785 for the cloth manufacturer Christian S. Lutze. It is a three-storey plastered building facing Oberkirchplatz with a mansard roof and dormers with triangular gables. The east gable is free; the corners are rounded. The facade is symmetrical, seven-axis with plaster grooves and cornice above the ground floor. In the central axis there is the double front door in a framed basket arch niche and with a radiant skylight. Large rectangular windows were installed on the first floor. Smaller arched windows, bordered by drilled frames with keystones and uniformly with sill cornices on consoles, form the end of the second floor. From 1985 to 1987 the house was extensively repaired and a shop window was added. Furthermore, completely new apartment floor plans were created; the ground floor vaults and ceilings as well as the stucco ceilings were removed. The staircase with board balusters from the construction period only extends to the first floor and is completed by a steel construction. The roof structure has been preserved in its entirety, with the construction both in the attic area and in the loft.
09100032	Oberkirchplatz 12 ( location )	Parish Church of St. Nikolai (Upper Church)	The Upper Church of St. Nikolai is a late Gothic brick church in Cottbus in Brandenburg. The church is on Oberkirchplatz and Sandower Straße near the Altmarkt. The so-called Upper Church is the largest medieval church in Lower Lusatia.	more pictures

09100350	Ostrower Damm 10, 11 ( location )	Friedrich Adolf Eschenhagen's cloth factory, consisting of the main building, the head building of the production hall and the factory chimney	Friedrich Adolf Eschenhagen founded his first carpet factory in Cottbus in 1860. Around 1870 a four-storey main building with a length of 30 axes was built for his factory on the connecting path between the village of Ostrow and the Mühlengraben (since 1893 waterway), of which only the head building of the production hall is left. Directly along the north side of the building a single-storey production hall was built in the late 1880s, of which only the head building to Ostrower Damm, used as the company headquarters, still exists today. A factory chimney has also been preserved. The production building with its splendid plastered façade, typical of the time, with its historical-eclectic forms was unique in Cottbus. With the representative architecture, the factory owner underscored the economic success of his company to the outside world. The four-storey production building has been greatly changed today in terms of its exterior and interior structure. The head building with the symmetrical decorative facade was particularly unique, and the facade is still preserved today. The segment arches, placed in strong profile frames with decorative details, are connected by sill cornices. The windows are richly decorated above and framed by a roof cornice and the massive eaves cornice in the wall area. The corners of the building and the two central axes with an entrance are framed by ornamented pilasters . The pilaster motif extends into the attic and is crowned by button attachments. A curved gable with a large cartridge is located above the two central axes , with the volute-shaped gable cornice developing from the eaves cornice. Various companies are now located on the site of the former Friedrich Adolf Eschenhagen cloth factory in the main building and the head building.
09100262	Ostrower Damm 17/18, Franz-Mehring-Straße 62 ( location )	Tuchfabrik Jürss und Elger, consisting of a four-story production building and a manufacturer's villa	The factory building at Ostrower Damm 18 was built after 1870 on a piece of land that had previously been used commercially. According to the cloth manufacturer Hilpert around 1800, the dyer August Nikolai ran his trade there, which was later taken over by Samuel Ferdinand Koppe. In 1875 the cloth manufacturer Adolf Koppe had a machine and boiler house as well as a factory building built. Franz Koppe expanded the dye works further in 1881 into an industrial production facility with multi-storey factory buildings and a steam power plant. After 1895 he rented rooms for cloth production, including to the Jürss & Elger company, which acquired the entire property in 1921. For the first time at this time, all production steps in cloth manufacture were housed under one roof. The Jürss & Elger company existed in the city as early as 1885. Two driveways led to a cobblestone courtyard around which the factory buildings were grouped. The buildings were cuboid, flat-roofed exposed brick structures, had regular window axes and a cornice structure. On the north side of the courtyard on today's Franz-Mehring-Straße stood the four-storey main building with ten window axes that dominated the complex. Here, too, the uniform window design and various surrounding cornices shaped the facade. After the war, the victorious power demanded reparations from the cloth factory. In the courtyard, the packed machines were already ready for removal when the city's businessmen and citizens turned to the Soviet military administration and prevented them from being transported. The Jürss & Elger company was expropriated in 1946 and the Cottbus cloth factory was established. Until shortly after 1990 the VEB "Tuchfabrik Cottbus" (Plant I) produced here. The company logo "VEB Tuchfabrik Cottbus" can still be seen on the east facade, the writing "worsted and carded yarn fabric made of wool" still heralds the manufacture of cloth on the north facade. In 2005, demolition excavators began their work on part of the northern front of the former cloth factory Jürss & Elger. A new commercial property was supposed to be built, but the demolition has been stopped. Since then, the factory building has been empty and has not been renovated. The cloth manufacturer's villa at Ostower Damm 17 was built in 1892. The two-storey plastered building with a flat roof, interesting neo-renaissance building decorations and strongly profiled cornices is worth seeing. The villa has been professionally renovated and is used as a residential and commercial building. In the course of the renovation, a glass staircase was created between the villa and the unused factory building. The viewer does not initially see the purpose.

09100242	Ostrower Platz 16 ( location )	Courtyard with a double house, barn and fencing	The building at Ostrower Platz 16 was built in 1873/1874. The core of the house was initially built as a half-timbered building and at the end of the 19th century it was extended to form a double house on the western gable side. In addition, the Ostrower Platz was extended by 2 meters and the outer walls were renewed using masonry construction. The roof trusses are unique. Above the older residential part on the street side, there is a ridge post with a flattened collar beam in the gable area . Beams with headbands and struts are linked in a longitudinal bond. The further rafter spacing with the later brick roofing is reinforced by wind panes . Above the extension, the double-standing chair and the collar beams are connected to the rafters by dovetail-like leaves. The street front is structured by simple window cuts. The elongated southern courtyard side has simple windows and doors. A stepped gable decorates the western narrow side. The north side, which is close to the neighboring house, has only a small cellar hatch. In the older living area there is a small, barrel-vaulted high cellar under the hearth, accessible from the hall. The courtyard to Ostrower Platz is closed off by a wall. The wall is interrupted by a flat arched gate, which is framed by gate pillars. The barn on the south side of the courtyard from the late 19th century consists of a simple plastered brick building with a gable roof. In 2008 the residential building was refurbished in accordance with the preservation order, and today there is a branch of the “Otti” integration kindergarten there.

09100197	Parzellenstraße 27/28 ( location )	Cloth factory "Westerkamp" with main building, shed hall, boiler house as well as office and residential building	In 1926 Wilhelm Westerkamp Jr. built an electrically operated cloth factory on the plot of land at Parzellenstrasse 27/28. This factory was traditionally built in one piece with all halls and buildings around a courtyard. The factory building consists of a four-story hall with two pillar-like access towers, one of which has an elevator integrated. Here white plastered surfaces were set against yellow clinker pilaster strips and the surfaces were designed in a contemporary way. This cloth factory was the last newly built cloth factory along the Spree in Cottbus. On October 15, 1950, a VEB clothing company moved into this factory complex. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Westerkamp Jr. cloth factory was transformed into a business park called "Die Fabrik". Only a few changes were necessary here, because the high and wide rooms of the building offered many design options for subsequent installations. These subsequent fixtures were also sufficient for modern building upgrades and the structural requirements without having to make major changes to the construction or architecture.	more pictures
09100337	Parzellstrasse 47 ( location )	Wilhelm Stoffel weaving mill, consisting of a residential and office building with an annex and a weaving mill	The building on the Parzellenstrasse 47 area was constructed from red brick between 1925 and 1927 by the client and architect Otto Nickel on behalf of Wilhelm Stoffel.

The vertical rectangular windows are partially barred. The first single-storey building is decorated with an approx. 3 meter long stepped gable. Outstanding are the rectangular protruding brick strips, which are lined up one above the other and extend from the basement to the roof. These decorate the three-story building facing the street. The storeys on the front are separated by square decorative fields. A walled up window also decorates the right side of the front building. The weaving mill never started operations because of Wilhelm Stoffel's financial problems caused by the inflation at the time. The building then fell into the possession of Otto Nickel, who had had a construction business in Cottbus since 1910 and was already considered a respected architect at that time. He died in 1931. His widow sold the building to Edeka Wholesale GmbH Cottbus in 1936. This made a modification. The single-storey annex directly adjoining the south-west side of the residential and account building was converted into office space. The downsizing of the windows on the facade facing the courtyard can still be seen today. After the Second World War, the area served as a transhipment point for the Soviet occupying forces. In October 2007 the building was added to the list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg, part of Cottbus. Since 2008 the building has been owned by Thomas Brucksch, owner of the event service “Eventcompany Cottbus”. The building was restored and converted under the supervision of the architect Fred Warta. Since September 2010, the building with a historical background has been a modern event location called "Kontor 47".	more pictures

Fighting for the democratic republic broke out in and around Cottbus. The working population went over to organized resistance, the general strike. The main center of the demonstrations was on Spremberger Strasse, which Major Bruno Ernst Buchrucker was supposed to stop. The Reichswehr troops with their machine guns opposed the demonstrators. There were four dead and five injured. Makeshift quarters were set up in the suburb of Sandow. From here, further actions were determined and coordinated against the troops of Major Buchrucker, who were hanging up posters with the slogan “Protect those willing to work!”. The "Red Guard" was created. It prevented attacks by Reichswehr companies and the use of an armored train. After the coup failed on March 17, this group was also disbanded on March 19, and the strike broke off one day later. In honor of these fighters, this memorial plaque and another on the Spremberger tower were created.

In March 1905, the city ordinance decided to build a theater, and in November 1905 the project by the architect Bernhard Sehring was confirmed, and since May 1907 the cattle market has been called Schillerplatz. Construction of the 2.4 hectare park began in 1908. The theater , which was inaugurated on October 1, 1908, has an architecturally designed ornament system. The entrance area is accessed by a semi-circular, slightly rising driveway. Quarter-circular and recessed lawns with higher-lying edge strips that slope down towards the street lie between the driveways. Schillerplatz is an important urban and horticultural designed square. A redesign planned by Joachim Scherzer took place for the 800th anniversary in 1956. This is how a large water basin was created in a baroque style, provided with three fountains and with water-spouting fountain figures on the edge, surrounded by a border. The area has been redesigned into a representative as well as modern green area in order to counter the old system with an equivalent counterpart. This means that Schillerplatz is also of historical interest. To make it easier to stay longer in this park, a kiosk with a snack bar was built in the 1960s. But this has been closed for years.
09100022	Schillerplatz ( location )	Schillerplatz (designed square)	The square along Schiller-, Werner- and August-Bebel-Straße is bordered by a double row of red oaks.

This house was then built in 1939 as an office building for a division headquarters and as the command center of the Cottbus division. A special feature of this building is the structural extension to the north, which was not yet recorded in the city map in 1943, but largely follows the original style. From 1945 to the beginning of the 1990s, the Reichsbahndirektion and the Soviet command office had their headquarters here. Currently there is a medical center with various medical practices in the building. This L-shaped, two-storey building with its simple, traditional forms (pitched roof and lattice windows) is a typical representative of National Socialist architecture . This building has rough plastered wall surfaces and windows with sandstone frames, divided by cross bars. On the south-west corner there is an entrance porch with a loggia and an extension in the courtyard. The northern part, which was built a little later, is slightly raised and stands out due to different window frames than those of the original building and a greater roof height. The entrance is under a porch opened by arcades, the arched openings of which are made of decorated sandstone walls. Here the shapes of the "Iron Cross" can still be seen in the circular shapes.	more pictures

The curved line that is typical of Art Nouveau runs through the entire structure. This is easy to see from the basement window and entrance. The facade structure is asymmetrical. The right side is made protruding. There is a curved gable as well as a curved fighter on the large oval gable window. A polygonal bay window with a side balcony has been built in the facade projection. The ground floor is provided with a fine incised ashlar. A curved plaster tape is attached on the ground floor where a curved base cornice would otherwise. The window walls of the house are rounded. The bay windows and cornice lines also swing out. The vegetal decor in panicle and ribbon shapes spans the wall surfaces. These can be found as window frames, in the eaves zone and as gable ends. At this point, design and decor merge. Furthermore, details such as window grilles and bars with their curved shapes made of panicles and leaves are integrated into the overall structure of the building. Furthermore, the building has a construction-time enclosure with a partial front garden in connection with a perimeter block development. Different decors or motifs are sometimes repeated in equipment details, such as B. the doors. The interior fittings in the form of stucco ceilings, tiled stoves and windows and doors have largely been preserved from the construction period. There is also a staircase with a spiral staircase and a polychrome terrazzo floor. The building is considered the most beautiful house in Cottbus and is a characteristic representative of the early ornamental Art Nouveau.	more pictures
09100103	Schillerstraße 55 ( location )	Villa-like residential building	The villa-like rental house at Schillerstraße 55 was built in 1895 for the reindeer Heinrich Starcke. The construction was carried out by the architect, building contractor and later city councilor Ewald Schulz . It is a two-story building with a mansard terrace roof. The property has a lancet enclosure from the construction period and a stair tower on the free-standing side. There is the entrance and the driveway to the former coach house and stable building.

In addition, the building has a hip roof with a decorative grille and a building-time roof house with a spherical top, the tower of which has a roof hood. The interior is characterized by a representative extensive original substance. Here you can find stucco and painted wooden ceilings, as well as authentic doors and windows. The playful neurococo decor with shell and ribbon work can be seen through the rounded window shapes. This style crystallized in the last years of late historicism. The building has a historical significance. This can be recognized by its typical urban villa character. Furthermore, the house is characterized by the entrance for the carriages of the time and the furnishings for an upscale lifestyle.	more pictures
09100014	Schloßberg / Goethestrasse ( location )	Park on the Schloßberg	The green area is located on the north, east and south slopes of the Schloßberg. It is bounded to the north by Magazin- and Sandower Straße. Goethestrasse borders to the east and Am Spreeufer to the south. In the west, the area is marked out by the district court, the wall that runs around the former district court on the top of the Schloßberg, and the property at Magazinstrasse 27. Several gardens that surrounded the complex of buildings on the Schloßberg belonged to the castle area. The name official gardens comes from the fact that the official governors were allowed to use them. The gardens are shown on Handtschky's plan from 1720/24, and it can be seen that they all once had an enclosure. The entire complex is of urban, social, historical and cultural significance. In this form, it is a unique garden in Brandenburg, which has an urban and local impact.	more pictures
09100075	Schloßkirchplatz 1, Spremberger Straße 5 ( location )	Rental apartment and commercial building	Schloßkirchplatz 1 : The residential and commercial building was built in two construction phases on the north side of Schloßkirchplatz and the corner of Spremberger Straße. Paul Sack had acquired the property in 1876 and had a representative building erected there on the corner of Katharinengässchen in 1878/79. In 1910, a rental apartment and commercial building extension was built in the baroque style on behalf of Franz Sack.
09100072	Schloßkirchplatz 2 ( location )	Residential building	The rental house was built around 1800. It is a simple two-storey town house with ten window axes. In 1887, on behalf of the new owner, court photographer C. Metzner, the façade was converted, increased and redecorated. In 1950, conservation measures were carried out so that there was no danger of collapse. 38 years later the building was in danger of collapsing again. That is why the exterior was repaired a year later. Partial demolition of the northeastern outer wall area, including inner walls and ceilings, was accomplished in 1993. Furthermore, the building was converted into a hotel and a bank. In the course of this, there was a comprehensive renovation and modernization as well as a structural redesign of the ground floor. The building now has three floors and a Berlin roof . The entire east side of the Schloßkirchplatz is taken up by the house. The southern narrow side faces Schloßkirchstrasse and the northern one faces Katharinengässchen. There is an old advertisement by the court photographer Metzner. This was faithfully restored. The facade on the east and south side is elaborately structured in neo-renaissance forms. The building edges and the three entrances (the middle one is an addition from the 19th century) are framed by a strong diamond ashlar. The facade of the upper floors has a plaster use. The two exposed sides are structured horizontally by means of belt, floor and eaves cornices. With the help of pilasters and segment gables, a rich window frame was created in the bel étage . A fully plastic head in the shape of a shell is integrated into the gable fields, and the parapets and lintel zones are decorated with ornamented relief panels or semi-balusters. On the third floor the windows are provided with drilled bezels, and there is a surrounding cornice on an acanthus console . The broad main facade is accentuated in the third and eighth axes by flat risalits with three-part windows and balconies. The hipped mansard roof , built between 1993 and 1995, has tightly lined, vertical dormers. Inside there is the staircase in the central axis with a wooden baluster railing from the 19th century. The large baroque vaulted cellar under the right part of the house is now used as a restaurant. The striking residential and commercial building is one of the last baroque buildings in the southern old town. It also documents the city's economic boom in the 19th century. This happens through the structural change from the baroque style to the neo-renaissance.
09100073	Schloßkirchplatz 5 ( location )	Former Schocken department store	In 1926 the gabled house at Schloßkirchplatz 5, built around 1770, was expanded and the Schocken department store opened. The building was a four-storey reinforced concrete frame structure with a vertically double-fractured facade, which was structured horizontally by ribbon windows. The building was badly damaged in World War II, after which it was repaired by the consumer cooperative. The white plastered ground floor received two large shop windows. A cornice ran between the ground floor and first floor, which later bore the words “Kaufhaus Schocken Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien”. The upper floors were given Buca iron clinkers and protruding concrete cornices. This is where the city's first elevators were installed and a spacious staircase built in. The ribbon windows with a parapet height of 140 cm without a lintel achieved optimal lighting, but the load-bearing reinforced concrete skeleton structure was largely detached from the facade and the supports moved into the interior. This was often used in department stores at that time ( Mendelsohn system ). In 1945 five pillars were inserted into the facade levels and the corners of the ribbon windows were clad and plastered. From 1963 it was no longer possible to use the main building as a department store because of the poor fabric of the building. It was demolished in 1980. Only the extension on Schloßkirchplatz was used until 1993. The rear, heavily damaged side wing was torn down in 2000. A renovation in May 2005 transformed the building into a modern residential and commercial building.
09100074	Schloßkirchplatz 6, Spremberger Straße 9 ( location )	Apartment block with shop floor	Since the previous buildings on Schloßkirchplatz from the 19th century were badly damaged in World War II, the buildings were demolished. The first plans for a new building were made in 1955. The design was provided by the chief architect Wilhelm Flemming in 1957/58. At Schloßkirchplatz 6, a four-storey plastered brick building with a hipped roof was built on one of the four properties south of the castle church. A black artificial stone embellished the base of the building. The ground floor with the shop doors was fully glazed. On the southern part of the ground floor, pillars enliven the facade. The front to the Schloßkirchplatz was given a passage with an iron gate. The upper floors were given pairs of simply incised rectangular windows with smooth plastering flasks and sills made of artificial stone. On the second and third floors, French windows with wrought iron balustrades were used. A plaster picture, which is dedicated to the theme of friendship among peoples, decorates the front of the Schloßkirchplatz. The roof is a Bernsdorf lattice rafter construction. Twelve apartments can be reached via two stairways. The steps and the entrance landings are covered with terrazzo tiles. In 2001 the building was renovated into a residential and commercial building, with the GDR's 1950s architecture being largely retained.

09100200	Schwanstrasse 10 ( location )	Villa with garden plot and street-side fence	The villa at Schwanstraße 10, also called "Villa Ruff" after the client Clemens Ruff, was built around 1900. Hermann Pabel, the important Cottbus building contractor, built the two-story Art Nouveau villa. After 1919 the bookseller manufacturer Otto Enke owned the villa. The window and door frames, which are made of red clinker bricks in contrast to the ocher-colored plastered wall surfaces, are particularly eye-catching, decorative details (ornamental framework, entrance canopies and tile covering of the window sills) are kept in green. The year of construction is on the east side with stucco. The high-quality interior design has been largely preserved. The staircase is made of marble and above the balustrade, on the wall side, with a wooden panel; A female sculpture was incorporated on the first landing. A coffered ceiling is attached on the upper floor, accompanied by a painting of vine leaves. The living room ceilings were covered with profiled wooden strips or with strong plastic stucco decor. A wrought-iron fence on a red clinker base surrounds the garden facing the street. The entrance was also built as an archway from red clinker bricks, the cover on the archway consists of glazed roof tiles. A round concrete basin was built in the garden in the 1920s, the covers of which are made of molded ceramic stones. In the middle of the water basin there is a sculpture on brickwork, the base is faced with large natural stones. Next to the water basin is a bench made of artificial stone in neo-baroque form, the angel heads on the feet have been preserved. In 1969 an orthopedic clinic was opened in the house. In the 1990s the building was completely restored and is still used by a medical practice.

09100323	Seminarstrasse 4 ( location )	Villa Dreifert with gazebo, the area of ​​the villa garden including its historical fence	The villa at Seminarstrasse 4 was built in 1914 on behalf of the Cottbus-born privy councilor Hugo Dreifert . After his death, the city of Cottbus acquired the building. All of Hugo Dreifert's successors lived there until 1945, which is why the building is also known as the Lord Mayor's villa. After the Second World War, the building was used as a home for war orphans and was later converted into a kindergarten. Today the integration daycare center "Villa Kunterbunt" is located there. The two-storey building has a hipped roof with an attic. At the front of the house in the middle of the hipped roof is a bat dormer window facing the street. On the second floor, a semicircular window with stone bars is conspicuous above the entrance, which is flanked by two small round windows on the left and right. The first floor is separated from the second floor by a wide cornice that is decorated with curlicues. A decorative strip with floral scrolls, which was located under the semicircular window or above the entrance, was replaced by the lettering "Kindergarten North". The recessed entrance, supported by Corinthian columns, has a door framed by small windows. There is a small extension on the left side of the house and a bat dormer on the hipped roof. Only a 150 cm high brick wall with pillars remains of the historical enclosure, which borders the property on the left. A car entrance is marked on the left side of the front of the house by two large gate posts. The original entrance was on the right side of the house. The green wooden door with the house number 4 has been preserved as well as the two entrance posts. Behind it is the gazebo. The garden entrance wings of the formerly white, now green garden fence are flanked by two square stone pillars, which until 1945 still had a round top. The garden has been converted into a lawn. New baroque design elements dominate the villa. The garden shed is kept in a functional new design language.
09100166	Sielower Strasse 10 ( location )	Engineering school for construction	The building was built in 1952/53 according to plans by Wilhelm Flemming and Karl Irmler. The school building from the early post-war period was built in a classical style. It is characterized by its restrained, handcrafted solidity and its spaciousness. The school is a three-story brick building with a sloping, sloping roof. Originally the roof was covered with Dutch S-pans. The entrance is covered by a balcony with wrought iron bars. Above the entrance there are halls with cross-reinforced reinforced concrete slabs. Gates, doors and floors are clad with travertine . At the end of the century one was no longer able to cope with the increasing number of students. As a complementary element, a three-story extension was added along Nordstrasse. The old building was only slightly changed. The building partially serves as an administration. The hall areas are used as open cloakrooms. The basement serves as a structural reserve for the building services and as social rooms. There is barrier-free access on the west side. The building is located directly on the BTU campus in the north of the city.
09100146	Sielower Straße 13, 14 / Universitätsplatz ( location )	Former college for teacher training (extension)	The building opened in 1938 as a sports and celebration hall for the former teacher training college. The architectural style is characteristic of the architecture of the “Third Reich”. After the Second World War, the Soviet Army used both houses as an officers' mess and a cultural center. In 1953 the area was handed over to the barracked People's Police and later converted into a cultural center by the National People's Army. Until the end of 2011, the premises were used by the Brandenburg Technical University as a leisure and meeting place. This included a cinema with a stage in the basement and a restaurant. The houses are currently empty. Externally, pale facades, crumbled stairs in the terrace area and used roof tiles determine the picture. The house at Sielower Straße 13 has an outside staircase that leads to the main entrance. The entrance was built as a porch and has a double-leaf glass door with a metal frame. The building is two-storey and has a hipped roof. The house is directly connected to the four buildings at Sielower Straße 14. These houses are also two-story and have a hipped roof with dormer windows. There are simple windows and some blind windows. A large terrace with an outside staircase belongs to the area. The buildings are located opposite the Cottbus University Library .	more pictures
09100167	Sielower Strasse 37 ( location )	Royal Teachers' Seminar (later Lower Sorbian Gymnasium Cottbus )	The Royal Prussian Teachers' Seminar was inaugurated on June 25, 1910 according to plans by the architect Arno Pasig. The building was built in Art Nouveau style. The school was closed in 1925 for financial reasons. In 1930 it reopened as a Pedagogical Academy. The inauguration as a college for teacher training took place in 1934. In 1939 the school was closed again. From 1945 the building served as a new teacher training facility. The opening as a Sorbian High School took place in 1952 and from 1970 as a Sorbian Extended High School. The Lower Sorbian Gymnasium has been located there since 1991 . The old building was rebuilt several times. The entrance from Sielower Landstrasse can still be guessed, but has been relocated functionally. The old building and the gym are under monument protection. The high school was modernized due to the increased number of students. A modern two-field hall with a spectator slope was built for physical education. A multi-purpose building with a large dining room, a stage area and a cafeteria was built from the old gymnasium.
09100181	Sielower Strasse 37 ( location )	Luther monument	As in many other cities, there is also a Luther monument in Cottbus. This was created by Heinrich Goetschmann. The sources for the construction time of the monument vary. Martin Luther stands on a larger than life size granite pedestal. The figure is carved from pure white hard sandstone, he is holding a hammer in his right hand and a scroll of parchment in his left. The moment was recreated when, on October 31, 1517, he struck his 95 theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. The monument stood in front of the Sorbian high school until the 1970s, was then removed and stood in front of the Luther Church after 1983. After severe damage, it was restored in 1997, and in 1998 it was returned to its old base in front of the Lower Sorbian grammar school at Sielower Straße 37. In honor of Martin Luther, there is a public holiday on the last day of October in the Protestant federal states - Reformation Day.
09100070	Spremberger Strasse / Schloßkirchplatz ( location )	Castle Church	A French Reformed community was formed by French Huguenots who settled in Cottbus in 1701. In 1705 they got permission from the Brandenburg Elector to build their church. On January 7, 1714, the single-nave castle church with hipped roof was inaugurated after seven years of construction. When a German Reformed clergyman was appointed as court and palace preacher in 1757, the church name became commonplace among the people.	more pictures

09100225	Spremberger Strasse 29-31 ( location )	Residential and office building	The Dresden merchant Wolrad Waldschmidt opened a textile shop in Spremberger Straße 30 in 1890 . By 1931, through numerous extensions and conversions, the two-storey building, which had two extensions, was converted into the six-storey Waldschmidt department store. Destroyed in the Second World War, a residential and office building was built from the ruins in 1956/57. Today the residential and commercial building complex consists of five four- to six-storey building wings. The main facade faces Spremberger Strasse, the right side wing forms the southern perimeter of the “Heron forecourt”, which is laid out with the city promenade, and the transverse building stands with its eaves on the street Am Turm.
09100076	Spremberger Strasse 32-34 ( location )	Apartment block with shop floor	The building complex at Spremberger Straße 32–34 is a block of flats with a shop floor. The structure was built in 1953/54, and the design comes from W. Kampmann and W. Hinze. In 1991, the building was repaired, including on the facade and in the shop area.

09100169	City promenade ( location )	Plastic "Young Teacher"	This bronze sculpture stands in the city ​​promenade with a view of the western city wall and the linden gate. It was cast in 1972 by Ernst Sauer , who was born in Dresden in 1923 and created numerous sculptures in his adopted home Senftenberg and in Cottbus until his death in 1988. This sculpture represents a life-size young teacher and stands on a brick base.
09100173	Street of youth ( location )	Old Jewish cemetery (area between Straße der Jugend 54 and 56)	From 1814 the government forbade transporting the dead over long distances. This made it no longer possible to bury the Jewish deceased in Friedland. Until then, there was no separate burial area for the Jewish deceased in Cottbus. The first Jewish cemetery in the city of Cottbus, the "Old Jewish Cemetery", was built around 1817 on Dresdener Strasse. In addition to the original area, a piece of land in the south was purchased in 1861, on which a celebration hall was built. After all graves in the "Old Jewish Cemetery" were occupied around 1916, a new area was needed. In 1916/17 the “New Jewish Cemetery” was built within the city's main cemetery, the southern cemetery (see No. 93). This area was used for burials until 1919. After around 100 funerals had taken place, the capacity was again exhausted. During the Nazi rule, the cemetery was desecrated, but a number of gravestones remained. In 1945 the burial site was partially destroyed in a bomb attack. At the request of the City Garden Authority, the site was converted into a park with a memorial stone in 1950, although the Jewish burial traditions were not always observed. The "Old Jewish Cemetery" is still in its entirety today. The mentioned memorial stone and parts of the old cemetery wall remind of the use as a cemetery for the local Jewish population.
09100222	Straße der Jugend 5 ( location )	Rental apartment and commercial building with courtyard building	This building with a Berlin roof was built on the east side of the street in 1888/89 for the sewing machine manufacturer Wenzel Kos. The court book printer Joachim Trowitzsch acquired the building in 1912, had the facade redesigned and the commercial building in the courtyard (print shop) modernized. The apartment building is connected to the two-story commercial building by a passage on the second floor. The facade shows classicist forms, enriched by Art Nouveau elements, as well as the simultaneous reform efforts of the architecture around 1910, visible through the stylization of the individual forms, the reduction of the decor and the rhythmically upward structuring of the facade. There are shops on the first floor of the house, to the left and right of the house entrance. The windows on the first two floors are framed by round bars and pilasters . These windows are covered by triangular gables on the side axes. In the middle of the facade, an oriel with a balcony acts as a focal point. Here the pilasters spanning the floors are decorated (flower vessels as base and capital , the shaft with baluster rods placed one on top of the other). The central parapet is decorated with stucco reliefs (flower and grape arrangement in scrollwork). The groups of windows on the balcony are crowned by cartouches, heavily framed triangular gables. The attic-like jamb above the bay window is emphasized by the plastic decoration. In the interior of the building, the building-time equipment elements are numerous (staircase, doors, ceiling stucco, floor tiles and stoves). In the entrance hall to the stairs there are strong colored, surrounding stucco strips and strips that frame the elongated ceiling area. In the middle of the ceiling field is a square stucco cassette set at a corner, which carries a round, leaf-decorated medallion.	more pictures
09100298	Straße der Jugend 11 ( location )	Rental house with side wing	This ensemble of buildings with an L-shaped floor plan on the east side of the street was built in 1890. The street-side facade is faced with light red clinker bricks. The window frames and canopies are differentiated on each floor and decorated with decoration. The right side axis was designed as a flat risalit and emphasized by richly decorated polygonal oriels. Here the windows are framed by three-quarter columns or pilaster strips , their parapets and lintel areas are provided with frieze panels. The gable of the risalit shows Renaissance forms, a tooth-cut frieze accompanies the strong eaves cornice on consoles. The three-storey side wing was equipped with a flat roof. The side wing was also faced with dark red bricks and divided horizontally by varied decorative ribbons in yellow bricks. The stairwells are preferred as risalits with rounded corners. Most of the windows, doors and the staircase and a room-high, richly decorated, white tiled stove with a pentagonal floor plan have been preserved from the construction period. This apartment building represents a typical middle-class building from the imperial era, which documents the development of Dresdener Strasse into a lively shopping street at the end of the 19th century.	more pictures

On the memorial plaque the coat of arms of the FDJ and the following text: "The first local group of the Free German Youth Cottbus was founded in this building on April 1, 1948". The FDJ was the only state-recognized youth association in the GDR. During this time the building was the youth clubhouse, where various events for the youth were held. The memorial plaque is difficult to see because in 2011, after the building was restored, the plaque was painted over with the same color as the exterior facade.	more pictures
09100170	Straße der Jugend 22/23 ( Lage )	Catholic Christ Church with parish and school house including enclosure	On the initiative of pastor Florian Birnbach in Neuzelle, who was responsible for the Catholic mission in Cottbus, construction of a church began in 1848 in what is now the street of the youth. The design came from the district builder Fritsch and master mason E. G. Stoske. The building was completed after Stoske's death in 1850 under the direction of F. W. Kahle and the church was consecrated in October 1850 under the name "Zum guten Hirten". When a second Catholic parish was founded in Cottbus, the parishioners repaired the church from 1965–1967. The church was consecrated in 1967 under the new name "Christ Church". The foundation stone for the former rectory was laid in 1850. As with the church, the construction was carried out under the direction of master mason Kahle.	more pictures
09100313	Straße der Jugend 24 ( Lage )	Catholic nurses' home "St. Elisabeth House"	The property was acquired by the parish in 1878 in the immediate vicinity of the Christ Church. In 1886 the sister establishment was founded and construction began under the supervision of the episcopal chair, and the work was carried out by the Cottbus company of master bricklayer Richard Helmke. The church sisters were responsible for the care of the elderly, welfare and child care. In 1927/28 the building was extended by three window axes on the north side by architect Hubert Schmidt (draft) and the entire building was provided with a basement level. The building is nine window bays wide with a simple, structured by cornices facade on the street from a middle risalit under a dormer is shared. Under the second window axis there is a massive entrance portal with profiled wall panels. On the courtyard side, a three-story extension with a tent roof was added to the center of the building in 1900. The former Sacred Heart Chapel is located on the second floor of the extension behind the pointed arch with the statue of a Guardian Angel with a child. After the expansion was completed in 1927/28, the basement and ground floor were inaugurated as a play school for around 120 children. The first floor and the extended roof became nursing rooms and living quarters for the sisters. The Elisabeth Sisters' Sacred Heart of Jesus Monastery existed until 1983. During the repairs in 1984, the dormer windows from the 1920s were removed. Today the building houses, among other things, a Catholic day care center. In the late 19th century, the health and welfare system in Cottbus was poor, but the Elisabeth-Haus was one of the few social institutions that existed in the city at that time. Today it is one of the last structural evidence of the welfare work in Cottbus, which is partly under the care of the church.
09100301	Straße der Jugend 48 ( Lage )	Rental house	The three-story building with an attic was built around 1900. It has a half-hip roof with two gables . On the five-axis front of the house, two risalite sides stand out and are decorated with stucco. The frames of the rectangular windows are also decorated with stucco. A gable on which the roof surface rests forms the end of the risalit. Three loggias , one of which was subsequently glazed, dominate the risalit in the fifth axis. The floors are optically separated by stucco decorations. Here, too, a gable completes the risalit. There is a semicircular window in this gable. A cornice runs between the first two floors . A wide base cornice visually separates the basement from the first floor. Two basement windows are provided with ornate iron grilles, while the remaining windows are unadorned rectangular windows. A stucco band was incorporated over the red entrance door with a skylight in the fourth axis. Above that there are two square windows, the window on the third floor having stucco decorations in the frame. Two small windows in the attic form the end. The second entrance door, which is no longer used, can be reached via stairs. It is located on the left side of the building, which is smoothly plastered. A 150 cm high iron fence decorated with leaf patterns separates the building from the street. Two brick pillars, each with an inlaid round arch, flank the entrance to the driveway, which leads across a small courtyard to the rear of the building. There an extension with two loggias and two balconies ensures an extension of the building.	more pictures

09100314	Straße der Jugend 103 ( Lage )	Rental apartment and commercial building	In 1888/89 the permit for the construction of this four-storey building was granted. The client was Richard Helmke and the first owner was the master painter August Manke. It is a bourgeois apartment building before the turn of the 20th century with a right wing in the back yard. The symmetrical facade with the detailed architectural decoration is typical of the construction phase. The first and second floors are the same size, while the third has been kept lower. The ground floor is structured by pilasters, the upper floors by pilasters and pilaster strips. A look at the front wall of the house shows that this building is structured by floor and sill cornices as well as by plaster strips. The upper window frames on each floor were decorated with different stucco motifs. A balcony dominates the central facade area. Women's faces can be seen on the right and left below. A medallion with a three-dimensional woman's head can be seen in the middle of the 3rd floor. The eaves cornice shows splendidly decorated consoles alternating with an arcade-shaped border. The stucco structure in the entrance area, the staircase with turned posts and the doors from the construction period have been preserved over the course of the century. In the representation room you can admire an ornate room-high, tiered tiled stove. During the GDR era, master tailor Henseler lived in this shop on the left side of the entrance. Today it is a fashion store. On the right side of the entrance door, the owners of different branches changed frequently.
09100300	Straße der Jugend 105, Taubenstraße 4 ( location )	Residential building with commercial yard development, consisting of residential and office building with goods floor, stable and coach house, farm building and warehouse including the two street-side fences and courtyard paving	The building permit for the villa-like house was granted in 1888/89 to the Cottbus construction company Paul Broeßke. The commercial development behind it on Taubenstrasse with a residential, office and warehouse building was used by the Casper & Michovius forwarding business as early as 1866. In 1903 the forwarding company Paul & Thiele took over this property. Behind the villa-like residential building is the former single-storey stable and coach house with fodder floor, where offices are now housed after extensive renovation. The two-and-a-half-story warehouse, with the gable side facing Taubenstrasse, is a red exposed brick building with pilaster strips and sill cornices that span over several floors, as well as an attic floor. The one and a half-story building to the north of the commercial entrance was the residential and office building, after a fire in 1928 it was rebuilt on the cellar walls. The building complex is an example of a completely preserved industrial complex and a testament to the work of the traditional Cottbus forwarding company Casper & Co.	more pictures
09100234	Strasse der Jugend 107 ( Lage )	Residential house with courtyard paving	In 1877 the distillery owner and city councilor Otto Schnitter got the building permit for this house. It was built on the west side of what was then Dresdener Straße (today's Straße der Jugend) and was owned by this family until 1912. The house is a one and a half story plastered building on a high basement. On the street facade with a central projection, the base is structured by strong plaster bands and the ground floor by plaster strips. The corners of the house are particularly emphasized here. The flat risalit with triangular roofing over the eaves and the transition to the gable triangle are decorated with a garland of leaves and fruits. The risalit windows vary from storey to storey, among other things they have strong triangular roofs. The windows on the main floor were decorated more elaborately with the help of cornice and triangular roofing, and on the upper floor next to the central projectile they were kept in simple architecture. The facade of the free-standing north gable was designed in the same way. On the courtyard side is the house entrance with the door from the construction period, the partial glazing of which is protected by filigree grids. The courtyard is paved with cobblestone. This example of a house from the late Classicist residential architecture is one of the first imperial buildings that were built in front of the Spremberger Tore and introduced urban development on this street.
09100235	Ströbitzer Schulstraße 42 ( location )	Community school with gymnasium and enclosure	The school was built in 1913/14. The primary school is the first Christian school in Cottbus. Today it bears the name of the Evangelical Bishop Dr. Gottfried Forck . At the beginning of 2000 the sponsorship of the Diakonisches Werk Niederlausitz e. V. taken over. The building is a three-story brick building with a protruding hipped roof . Design elements on the underside of the cornice really come into their own after processing. The paintings in the entrance area have also been restored. The windows on the first and second floors are arched windows, the windows in the attic are square lattice windows. The opening and closing mechanism based on chain hoists was retained for the windows in the stairwell. After the renovation, the front of the facade largely retained its previous appearance. A steel staircase was installed at the rear, which can be used as an escape route from all floors. In the building there is an auditorium, a teaching kitchen with dining room and a school library. The school is allocated an area of ​​about one hectare, which as a schoolyard offers plenty of space for playing and exploring. The 265 square meter gym, which was renovated in 2008, is also located on the site. This is also a brick building with a hipped roof and large arched windows. The roof was re-covered, a new parquet floor was laid and the building technology was brought up to date. The area is delimited to Schulstrasse with a hedge and a metal fence.
09100201	Stromstrasse 14 ( location )	Urban summer pool	The municipal pool opened in 1925 on the western bank of the Spree. The swimming pool had a size of 50 × 30 meters. The bathroom had a diving platform and numerous wooden changing rooms. A staircase leading directly to the Spree gave access to an outdoor river pool. The Cottbus summer pool is one of the oldest outdoor pools in Germany. After the fall of the Wall, the facility was taken over by the Cottbus youth welfare association. In 1992 the pool operation was stopped. The main building was badly damaged by fire in 2001. The bath was renovated in 2006-2008 in close consultation with the monument protection authorities. Simple designs made of larch wood were used for the entrance area. The existing pavilion-like solid and desolate wooden buildings were supplemented with a few new buildings. One of the larger buildings was rebuilt as a soundproofing venue for youth music. The sanitary facilities and the swimming pool were also renewed. Bathing in the pool is not permitted due to the lack of a filter system. Rehearsal rooms for bands have been created from the former changing rooms. It has been possible to preserve listed objects in terms of urban planning and function, practically lively and socially formative. Today the area is used as a youth leisure center.
09100307	Taubenstrasse 7/8 ( location )	Gasthof "Zur Sonne" with a residential building	The building was erected in the early 19th century. Mentioned for the first time as the “Blaue Taube” inn in 1842. The cellar area was expanded to include restoration. At the same time, a residential building was built on the east side. The inn has been called "Zur Sonne" since 1880/81. The buildings are located on the eaves side, on Taubenstrasse, which has been enlarged here like a square. The inn is a two-storey solid building with a half- hipped roof on one side , the gable of which borders the continuation of Taubenstrasse. The eaves facade is adorned with a simple eaves and profiled girdle and sill cornice, and the third axis from the right, in which the house entrance is located, is slightly projected as a risalit . In the three-storey extension there is only a gate and the house entrance on the ground floor. In contrast to the main building, the extension has a simple flat gable roof.
09100308	Taubenstrasse 31 ( location )	Rental apartment building with side wing and enclosure wall to Tiegelgasse	The apartment building was built in 1888 by master bricklayer Gustav Patzelt on the western side of the street on behalf of Robert Schmittchen. The ground floor and the first floor were initially used as guest rooms. After a conversion, a shop and apartments were created. The front door and shop fittings as well as doors and windows have been preserved from the construction period. The facade is unconventional. On the side axes there are flat but richly decorated balcony bay windows with integrated gable roofs. The same suspensions can also be found above the central window on the first floor, above the house entrance and the roof houses. The end is formed by shoulder-arched gables under a Berlin roof . On the first floor there are framed twin windows, the parapets of which are decorated with mask ornaments. The windows on the second floor are crowned by overlap cornices on which heads have been incorporated instead of keystones. Apart from the baroque stucco ceiling in the entrance area and the street-side rooms, the building is otherwise simple in terms of size and equipment.
09100218	Taubenstrasse 32 ( location )	Old municipal hospital with wash house, garden and courtyard area	As the first and oldest municipal hospital in Cottbus, the building conveys essential architectural and socio-historical insights into the development of hospital construction in the 19th century. In 1815 the magistrate bought the building and the attached wash house with the aim of building a hospital. According to his own design, master mason Friedrich W. Kahle implemented the project in 1845/46. It was used to treat poor civilians as well as military personnel. The two-storey building, which is set back far into the courtyard, borders directly on the parallel Tiegelgasse. The floor plan is trapezoidal due to the structure of the property. The courtyard facade facing Taubenstrasse has nine axes and is structured horizontally through rows of windows, cornices and fire structures. The smooth plaster strips in the parapet zone of the windows with the ashlar plaster covering the remaining wall surfaces are a contrast. The cross- frame windows and the house entrance crowned with a segmented gable are framed by smooth plastering panels . The protruding eaves cornice is profiled. The south side was extended by three axes in 1892. The west view is similar to the courtyard facade in terms of structure. In connection with the conversion to residential buildings, the attic chambers were expanded in 1931 and half-timbered roof houses were built on the high pitched roof. Doors and the basement come from both construction phases and have been preserved, like the original room layout. Until 1914, the building served as the only hospital for the 50,139 residents. Initially set up as an infirmary in 1914 with donations from the cloth manufacturer Clemens Ruff, the building was used as a club hospital during the First World War and as a retirement home until 1930. The wash house is a single-storey brick building with a gable roof. It was built in the courtyard area between 1846 and 1867.
09100276	Thiemstrasse 39 ( location )	Administration building of the garrison hospital with enclosure wall to the street and group of figures "Infant sister with children"	The administration building in what was then Feldstrasse with the garrison hospital was built in 1905. In March 1914, Feldstrasse in Thiemstrasse was named after Dr. Carl Thiem , renamed. The former garrison hospital at Thiemstrasse 37 and the administration building at Thiemstrasse 39 were converted into the largest infant home in the GDR in 1955. At the same time, the group of figures "Infant sister with children" was set up between the buildings. It comes from the sculptor Dorothea von Philipsborn and is now a listed building. The figures are placed on a brick base and show an infant sister in uniform with an infant in her arms. A boy is playing with a car in front of the sister figure, a girl is standing on the left, and a boy is sitting on the right with a small dog in his arms. The two-story building at Thiemstraße 39 is a brick building with a hipped roof . The arched basement windows are barred. The top floor was converted into apartments for young people. A central risalit dominates the front and the rear with a gable dormer , which are flanked on each side by two dormers. The arched windows are decorated with rolled layers. The original entrance, from the street, is made of a wooden door with skylights, decorated with a round arch and a small canopy. An ornament in the form of a flower is carved into the door as a decoration. A lettering in old German can be read above the door, but only partially preserved. It is called "Infant & Children's Home". The stairwell is visually raised from the outside. A one meter high brick wall, which was once used as a fence, separates the building from the street. Today there is a branch of Jugendhilfe Cottbus e. V., which looks after the young people living in the attic.	more pictures

09100178	Thiemstrasse 71 ( location )	Residential high-rise	The 13-story skyscraper at Thiemstrasse 71 is a typical building from GDR history. It is a classic representative of the socialist architecture of the 1960s, during which time it was built. Creating a lot of living space in a small space was the motto at the time. The high-rise is a listed building and belongs to the building entrance ensemble Sachsendorf / Madlow. At the same time, it is also called the Cottbuser Südtor to the city center. After many investors had tried in vain for a decade to invest in the house, the renovation was started by the Marseille-Kliniken in spring 2010 . Since there are more and more elderly citizens in the city, the Paulinenwohnanlage was built here, which was opened in June 2010 as a facility for assisted living. 117 age-appropriate one and two-room apartments with balconies and handicapped-accessible bathrooms have been created.	more pictures
09100179	Thiemstrasse 111 ( location )	Old main building of the hospital	The "United Städtische und Thiemsche Heilanstalt" was built from 1912 to 1914 in Art Nouveau style. Officially inaugurated on June 27, 1914, it was the largest hospital in this region, managed by the well-known surgeon Carl Thiem . A large balcony supported by four columns covers the main entrance and the driveway of the elongated building. At the end of 1920, the side wings were built, where the X-ray department and official apartments were housed. At that time around 500 beds were occupied, but the occupancy doubled as early as the Second World War because part of it was used as a hospital. About 90% of the hospital was destroyed in the great bombing raid on February 15, 1945. By the end of 1949, inpatient health care had to be provided in neighboring cities. In 1952 the rebuilt hospital became a district hospital. The economic development and the growing number of inhabitants made extensions and alterations necessary after 1970; on October 1, 1975 the foundation stone was laid for a new building. In 1991 the district hospital was renamed " Carl-Thiem-Klinikum ", in the entrance area there is a bust of Carl Thiem. In addition, new parking spaces, a new cafeteria, modern operating theaters and a helicopter landing pad were built on the roof of the emergency room.	more pictures
09100180	Thiemstrasse 111 ( location )	Female nude with a fountain	The female nude with a fountain, also known as the Hygiea fountain, stands immediately on the right in front of the old main building of the Cottbus hospital at Thiemstrasse 112 on a lawn. The figure is a replica of the Greek goddess Hygiea, she was the goddess of health, cleanliness and purity in ancient Greece. It was the first nude sculpture to be made for the public. Rudolf Enderlein from Doberschau near Bautzen was responsible for the design and execution of the fountain . In March 1956, when the Polyclinic at the Cottbus hospital opened, the fountain was installed. The fountain stands on a base with a bowl about 2 m in diameter. The top edge is about 10 cm wide and about 1.50 m high. A small pillar protrudes in the middle, on which stands an unclothed, life-size woman. She is holding a towel in her left hand, which she holds onto her back with her right hand. Due to the weathering, it is not possible to tell what material the fountain is made of, either shell limestone or sandstone. Originally the water ran out of four openings in the small column, it is unclear whether the well is still functional, as it is not in operation.	more pictures
09100340	Thiemstrasse 118 ( location )	Residential building of the Schröder city council with garden hedge	The building plans for this house come from Karl Ludwig Hellmuth Schröder. The building was built under his supervision as town planning officer in Cottbus, which post he had held since May 7, 1928. On June 5, 1929, he moved in with his family. In 1938 he took early retirement and lived in Pomerania for another year before he was killed in a car accident in 1939. Some buildings that were built according to his plans and under his building supervision are now listed, such as B. the fire brigade main station and the Bauhaus school. He was also involved in the construction of the new town hall. The building is also called "Stadtbauratvilla". It is a clinker building with a protruding hipped roof and a wide cornice. The double-sashed unadorned windows have a simple plaster frame. Two terraces with patio doors on the front side of the house on the left and right stand out. Both terraces stand on eight square columns each, and they are secured with a railing. Two extensions on the sides of the house expand the structure of the house. The roof on the right side of the house is decorated with a dormer window and a small window. A small gable dormer decorates the left side of the house. A garden hedge runs along the front of the house. It encloses an approximately 1.50 m high metal fence. The house is a mixture of traditional construction and the " new building ".	more pictures
09100096	Töpferstrasse ( location )	Japanese pavilion	The Japanese pavilion can be found in the city center of Cottbus in the Pushkin Park on the edge of the Wallpromenade. Unique in Brandenburg, the "Japanese tea house" was inaugurated on November 26, 1906 as part of an initiative to beautify the city. Architect Pasig, city architect Georg Nippert and city gardening director Julius Kurfeß were particularly responsible. The construction work was carried out by the construction company Alfred Simon. The pavilion stands on a square base, and on the east side six steps lead to the pavilion. Colored tiles adorn the floor, but have been damaged. The roof structure is supported on four round solid pillars (imitation wood). The wide, swinging pagoda-like roof was covered with wooden sheds made of aspen wood by a roofing company from the Giant Mountains. It was later replaced by Preolit ​​shingles (duroplastic). The pavilion was destroyed in World War I and the first renovation began in 1920. Species from Asia Minor were chosen for the plants that were renewed in the 1980s. The pavilion was last renovated in 2001. The reasons for choosing Far Eastern optics are not known.	more pictures
09100097	Töpferstrasse 2 / 2a, Klosterstrasse 15 ( location )	Rental house	The Art Nouveau villa Töpferstraße 2 was built in 1906/07 as a rental apartment building, the client was the businessman Richard Max Wagner, and the construction was carried out by the company Hermann Pabel & Co. Before the apartments were divided in 1932, there were two apartments and one each Servant stairs on each floor, connected by a central staircase. In 1982 the roof and the facade were repaired, a complete renovation took place in 1999. The building is the largest rental apartment building in Cottbus from the beginning of the 20th century and representative of this period. The floor plan is approximately L-shaped and follows the course of Töpferstrasse at the corner of Klosterstrasse. Due to the incline of Töpferstrasse, the building is partly three-story instead of four. The villa, with its two-storey bay windows with balconies, risalits with loggias and various architectural decorations, as well as the roof landscape with mansards, dormers and dormers, is an architectural work of art and a moving sight. The windows are of different shapes and sizes: flat-arched or straight cut and framed by bezels. The corner visible in the picture towers above the rest of the building by one floor and is crowned by a tower with a belvedere (viewpoint). Inside the house, many of the original details have largely been preserved: wooden bar railings, stair windows with colored glazing and diverse, filigree ceiling stucco work. Architecturally remarkable are the mixed influences of the New Baroque and Art Nouveau. The inner and outer appearance suggest a high level of craftsmanship and give the building the individual and distinctive grandeur of a residential building for the upper class.	more pictures
09100246	Uferstrasse 1 ( location )	Wilhelmsmühle	The Wilhelmsmühle building complex was built between 1840 and 1930 in several construction phases. The older part of the current building goes back to a three-storey brick building by the miller Carl August Marschan after the old whale tanner mill was demolished in 1836 because it was dilapidated. The new building was used as a cloth mill and converted into a grinding mill in 1856 and renamed Wilhelmsmühle. This original building, which was built diagonally to the street Am Amtsteich, can still be seen in the southwest corner of the complex. Adjacent to this original building in the east, a single-storey oil mill was added before 1876, which was replaced in 1904 by today's two-storey building. An intermediate structure with the main staircase built in 1930/40 probably belongs to this new extension. Also in 1904, in connection with the new construction of the oil mill, a two-storey part of the building with offices and a staff apartment on the upper floor was added to the old fulling mill in the north, replacing the old turbine house. In 1902, Georg Marschan sold the Wilhelmsmühle's hydropower to the city of Cottbus as part of the planned construction of the power station, and in this contract undertook to adapt the facades of its buildings to the architecture of the new electrical station. The redesign of the original building and the facades of the new buildings with a multitude of ornaments, stepped gables and an ornamental framework on the north side can therefore be seen as a uniform design. Around 1930 a garage wing made of dark red bricks was added to the east of the Wilhelmsmühle. This structure, which shows the influences of Expressionism and New Building in the facade, suggests that it was built in connection with the construction of the diesel power plant, which has the same elements. In 1941 the Wilhelmsmühle was shut down and became the property of the city. The installation of apartments in the following year, the use as a kindergarten and later as a youth club by VEB Energieversorgung Cottbus led to radical changes in the building fabric. Construction started in the summer of 2002 by students from the BTU Cottbus as part of the planning of renovation and conversion work for the new owners Drommer & Schwiedersky.	more pictures
09100182	Uferstrasse 10, 16, 16a, 17 ( location )	Tanners' houses	The tanning trade is used to produce leather. Some of the few remaining tanner's houses in Cottbus are located on Uferstrasse, directly on Mühlengraben. These half-timbered houses, built around 1730, are particularly noticeable because of the wide window openings in the drying floors. In addition, large shutters can be seen, which at the time were used to regulate the air supply for drying the leather. Since opening up the skins in particular was associated with considerable odor pollution and because you had to rely on a lot of water for cleaning purposes, this work was relocated outside of Cottbus to the Mühlengraben. During the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 this craft suffered a severe defeat, so that in 1652 there was only one tanner in Cottbus. After a brief revival after the war, there was another setback on March 20, 1671, when a fire that broke out at the town mill destroyed many tanner's houses. On the mill ditch side there is a walker's house built around 1860. The view on this page gives the impression that time has stood still here.	more pictures
09100293	Vetschauer Platz 6 ( location )	Ströbitz fire station	As early as 1845, citizens collected money for the procurement of extinguishing devices for the first time. When the "Alte Welt" restaurant burned down in 1906, a committee was formed to found a fire brigade . In the summer of 1906, a fire brigade was brought into being in Ströbitz, which was still independent at the time. The first officially issued ID card is dated 1906. The fire brigade celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2006. A five-door fire station in clinker style with a four-story hose or riser tower was inaugurated on November 16, 1913 at what is now Vetschauer Platz, then Hindenburgplatz. The extension of the carriage hall with team function rooms and an apartment for the equipment attendant was built in 1931. The fire station (fire station) is the accommodation of the fire brigade in one place. In addition to the emergency vehicles, it houses lounge and sanitary rooms for the crew, administrative areas and workshops. The hose or riser tower is often a striking symbol of a fire station or a fire station. The tower is mainly used to dry pressure hoses after use or to maintain the hoses. This was especially important in earlier times, when the hoses were still made of hemp. Today's synthetic fiber materials also have to be dried. In addition, the tower can also be used for instructor and abseiling exercises. The siren is also attached to the tower. With the municipal reform on July 1, 1950, the Ströbitz fire department became part of the Cottbus fire department. In 2005, the roof and tower were reconstructed with money from the Ströbitz participatory budget. Since the Ströbitzer never had a church, the Steigerturm has become the landmark of the district.	more pictures
09100267	Vetschauer Strasse ( location )	Water tower	The water tower in Vetschauer Straße is located immediately south of the station area. The elevated tank was built on behalf of the Deutsche Reichsbahn to supply the superheated steam locomotives in 1914. The boiler belongs to the "Klönne container systems" type and has a capacity of 500 m³. The process water was pumped from the Spree into the container using pumps. The tower has been out of service since 1955; the technical equipment of the elevated tank is no longer available. The tower is for sale.
09100251	Virchowstrasse 2 ( location )	Condominiums	This one-sided detached house with a Berlin roof was built in 1906/07 on behalf of the foreman Adolf Klaschke. It forms the beginning of the development on the south side of Virchowstrasse. The dwelling with a curved gable has a symmetrically structured facade and a polygonal bay window with an exit (balcony) at the height of the eaves, highlighted on the central axis. Plaster grooves were selected as a design decorative element at ground floor level and the windows were provided with a calyx-like plaster crown and square friezes below the sills. The windows and the house entrance are from the construction period. The upper floors are combined by vertical plaster strips with geometric decorative elements. On the first floor, the lintels are connected by an ornamented band that also integrates the curved canopy with a cartridge motif. The interior of the building is completely preserved. Here you can find u. a. Vestibule and apartment doors with a variety of transoms, stair windows with colored glazing, stoves with ornamented tiles and ornate gable attachments.

The top floor is raised by a frieze that also runs over the bay window.
09100319	Virchowstrasse 16 ( location )	Rental house	This building was built in 1905 on behalf of the architect Paul Sack. It is characterized by its architectural cohesion, the high standard of living quality and the elaborate facade design. This clearly shows the change in architecture from eclecticism to modern, simplified reform architecture that was taking place at the time . The broad, seven-axis facade has been emphasized by a two-storey central bay window under a curved gable . Colossal pilasters and lateral balcony axes connect the upper floors. Concise structuring details, apart from the eaves cornice and all-round delicate plaster veins at ground floor level, were largely dispensed with. The view is enhanced by revitalizing the parapet mirror by means of changing plaster structures and window and balcony variations. The decors concentrated on the central axis in the form of cartouches, tendrils, the semi-plastic figurative representations in the gable (here a mermaid) and on the side above the entrance door from the building period (female nudes) show design diversity. The servants' staircase on the courtyard side is framed by balconies, the façade here was left exposed to sand-lime stone. The apartment floor plans , staircases, terrazzo floors and apartment doors have been preserved during the construction period.
09100198	Vom-Stein-Straße 26-29, Von-Schön-Straße 9 ( location )	Barracks complex, consisting of six barracks buildings and the green area immediately surrounding these buildings	A number of courts and authorities are housed in the buildings today, B. in Vom-Stein-Straße 28 the social court Cottbus and the labor court Cottbus , in Vom-Stein-Straße 27 the administrative court Cottbus and in Vom-Stein-Straße 29 the tax office Cottbus.
09100001	Waldstrasse ( location )	Forest rest home	The Cottbuser Heilfürsorge für Kinder (Heilfürsorge für Kinder) received the city-run forest rest home in 1908. The forest recreation home was created because school doctors in Cottbus had been calling for an expansion of the preventive measures among school children since 1899. The forest recreation home could be built in 1907 because the city of Cottbus and the Heilstättenverein supported the operator financially and materially. However, the Madlower forest owners complained about the construction to the Frankfurt / Oder district committee, as their freedom of action was seen to be impaired during the felling. In February 1912, the town of Cottbus was granted the right to expropriate a forest school and a civil servants' rest home. With this measure the construction could be initiated, especially since it was supported by a foundation on the occasion of the silver wedding anniversary of the imperial couple. This was handled by the town planning officer Richard Bachsmann and the town builder Georg Nippert. The architecture was transferred to the forest recreation home, which was also demonstrated on the buildings of the south cemetery. On the two-storey longitudinal building with a projecting risalit-like porch, which ended as a triangular gable, numerous windows, borrowed from the Gothic, were lined up along the ground floor zone. From the outside it was visible that the communal common rooms were located there and the dormitories were located under the roof. The property was secured with a high wire fence, which was demonstratively broken through by a portal supporting a hipped roof. In August 1920, two barracks were handed over for full-time care and schooling for 60 children in need of relaxation. Forest recreation and school support came more and more into focus, which was reflected in the construction of a massive forest school building. In August 1929, the city school board declared to numerous guests of honor that four classrooms, a staff room and the kitchen with dining room could be set up for construction and inventory costs of 52,000 and 18,800 Reichsmarks. The youth recovery soon came to an end, however, as the National Socialists confiscated the complex for their purposes. The Madlower farmers dismantled the remains of the forest school and used it to build out the ruins that remained from the Second World War.	more pictures

09100238	Walther-Rathenau-Strasse 16-18 ( location )	Schmellwitz Church	The Zinzendorf church in the Schmellwitz district of Cottbus was planned by the architect Hans Palm. It is a simple and practical clinker church that was inaugurated on December 19, 1937. In the mid 50s of the 19th century, the church received an urgently needed extension. In 2001 the roof was re-covered and the outside area changed. In 1962 the church was given its current spatial form and its name after Nikolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf (1700–1760).	more pictures
09100185	Warschauer Strasse ( location )	Former east cemetery	During the founding period between 1848 and 1873, the number of inhabitants also grew due to the economic development in the cities. The village of Sandow, east of the city gate, also developed by leaps and bounds. The increase in the population ensured rising birth rates, but also a higher death rate. In 1888 a new cemetery was built for Sandow on Warschauer Straße, where they were buried until 1946. The burial chapel was built in 1884 and renovated in 1931. Badly damaged by the air raid in 1945, it had to be demolished in 1956. The bell found its place in 1948 in the south cemetery opened in 1903. After all the tombs and borders had been cleared away, only an obelisk made of Swedish granite remained, a reminder of the graves of the Gentzen and Werner families. In the course of time, a small park with an old tree population has emerged on this area.	more pictures
09100186	Warschauer Strasse 1–6 ( location )	Workers' cooperative building	On March 16, 1935, the "Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau der Arbeiter e. GmbH ”, better known as“ Gewoba ”. The constantly growing population led to a housing shortage. To counter this, the residential blocks Warschauer Strasse 1–15 were built in 1937. Members of the "Gewoba" moved in. Each house consisted of two floors, each with two rooms, a kitchen and a toilet. In the basement there were storage rooms, laundry room and drying room. All tenants of an entrance had to share a shared bathroom. Each residential unit had a garden parcel, where mostly vegetables were grown. This gave this residential complex a village-rural character. By 1997 these blocks were gradually reconstructed both internally and externally. The senior citizens' residence on Sanzeberg, which opened in 2002, has now taken over the converted, age-appropriate blocks 1–6 as apartments. 40 barrier-free one to three room apartments from 34 m² to 81 m² with balconies have been created. There is a glass outside elevator. The bathrooms have been comfortably expanded. Each residential unit has an emergency call. The service for the residents is the same as next door in the main building of the facility.
09100187	Warschauer Strasse 22/23 ( location )	Block of flats	The three-story apartment block on this street was built in 1956/57 according to a design by R. Thiele. It is the first building in Cottbus to be constructed using large-block construction. There are other houses of a similar construction on Franz-Mehring-Straße and Willy-Brandt-Straße. The block of flats has two entrances with six apartments each and has a full basement. The tiled roof is hipped. A lively, colorful facade design with animal motifs above the entrances is recognizable. The French windows give the house a special touch. There are French doors without a balcony with a 40 cm high grille as fall protection. The decorative elements on the staircase railing are also typical of the construction period.
09100104	Wernerstraße 9 ( location )	Rental house	The house in the context of the perimeter block development was built in 1904/05 on behalf of master blacksmith Hermann Kieschke from the architecture and construction business Dümpert & Haucke. The almost symmetrical facade is dominated by two central, trapezoidal bay windows that extend over all three upper floors. The facade is structured by changing colors and plaster structures. Rough, smooth and comb plaster was used in the design. Plaster blocks and waves, stripes and ornamental bands in contrasting colors surround the windows or connect them to one another. The top floor with its grouped windows is set off with a hip hip. The overlying eaves zone is supported by expansive consoles and adorned with a painted frieze of stylized roses. These stylized roses can also be found in an ornamental grille on the roof. Intertwining rose branches on the bay windows between the first and second floors were made to order on site. The client's name is above the side entrance to the courtyard. The sloping windows are typical of early Art Nouveau with its colors and relief surfaces. Inside, too, the furnishings from the time of construction have remained unchanged. With the almost completely preserved facade, the building is one of the few intact representatives of this architectural era on Schillerplatz.	more pictures
09100436	Wernerstraße 44 ( location )	Rental house	Free-standing building with a facade divided into three asymmetrically arranged axes. The ornament is determined by stylized plant and figurative motifs. Showing features of early, ornamental Art Nouveau. A stylized eagle with a cartouche on the central gable.

09100263	Wernerstraße 46 ( location )	Riding facility, consisting of a residential and club house with enclosure as well as a riding hall and stable	This riding facility was built between 1890 and 1893 on the corner property at Wernerstraße / Wilhelm-Külz-Straße, which belonged to the cloth manufacturer Adolf Westerkamp. The clubhouse with its full basement, a brick building, was built by the architect and building contractor, later city councilor Ewald Schulz , and stood out from the surrounding residential architecture. It had two floors and a flat top floor. The detailed, red brick facade was decorated with black clinker strips and molded stone friezes. The tower-like elevation of the corner area, the polygonal corner turrets, the pointed arch windows and the battlements are forms of the English Tudor Gothic that were adopted here in the German brick architecture. The riding arena facing the courtyard and the stable building were also exposed brick structures. The riding arena had a roof structure that was open at the bottom because of the better ventilation. After the First World War, the facility was no longer operated as a riding club, but used commercially. The riding arena and the stable have since been demolished.	more pictures
09100202	Wernerstraße 58 ( location )	Rental house including fence, front garden and the rear garden area	This two-storey apartment building was built in 1888/89. It is an exposed brick building with a regular, axial structure. The entrance is designed as a side risalit with a curved gable . The bright cornices and square frames of the windows on the red clinker bricks create a clear contrast. Inside there is a decorative tiled floor in the entrance area. The building is a typical representative of the Northern European Neo-Renaissance .
09100304	Wilhelm-Külz-Strasse 11 ( location )	Masonic lodge building with enclosure	In 1797 the first lodge of the Freemasons, "Zum Brunnen in der Desert", was founded in Cottbus. In 1897 their lodge house had become too small and new quarters were to be built. The Eisenach architect Baumeister won a competition. Its basic rectangular concept was completed by the Steglitz secret regional building officer Otto Techow and the Halle architect Richard Musche; Hermann Pabel was commissioned with the construction. In 1908 the late Art Nouveau lodge with neo-baroque elements was completed in what was then Lausitzer Straße. The facade is characterized by a cartouche decoration under the curved roof. The mansard roof was also decorated with curved domes. These domes were lost during roof renovations in 1950. The main entrance with a cartouche decoration is flanked by columns. The windows on the ground floor on the north side are framed by pilasters spanning several floors, while the windows on the upper floor are emphasized by baluster parapets and keystones. Quite different on the east side, there the windows partly have a round arch frame and decorative fields. When the Nazis came to power, the Masonic Order was banned and the lodge was taken over by the SA and the police. Towards the end of the war it served as a hospital. In 1950 the building was transferred to public ownership and used by the German-Soviet friendship. There was a public library on the middle floor and the radio station “ Sender Cottbus ” on the upper floor . Since the box had a large ballroom with a stage on the ground floor, the chamber stage was founded in 1957 and operated as the venue for the city theater. Only after 16 years of vacancy has the lodge been refurbished since 2011 according to plans by Matthias Gropp from the Cottbus architecture and engineering office Alpha Plan and converted into a residential and commercial building. The facade and the historic staircase will be retained, but the large ballroom will be completely demolished, creating an inner courtyard.

The commissioning dates to December 5, 1904. In 1924 an extension was built. The architecture of the reception building is typical of many other buildings on the Spreewald Railway , including an attached framework, the half-hip roof and the round or pointed arched windows. One of the special features of this building is a three-dimensional facade with a staircase tower.	more pictures

09100155	Wilhelm-Nevoigt-Platz ( location )	Memorial for the victims of the First World War on the former Ströbitzer Anger	The memorial designed by Prof. Schulz was opened on 13./14. Inaugurated August 1927 and shows two soldiers of Infantry Regiment No. 52 from Cottbus. The memorial was restored on September 24, 2005, with three missing plaques with the names of 142 fallen dead. How many Ströbitzers lost their lives in the First World War is still unknown today. The memorial plaque reads: "Your heroes of the World War in gratitude and loyalty, the Ströbitz community". Also on the square is a memorial stone for the victims of the Second World War with the inscription: "1939–1945, To commemorate the victims, missing and fallen in World War II of the Ströbitz community". There is also a memorial stone for the soldiers of the Franco-Prussian War of 1864/1866 and 1870/1871 on the site. This stone disappeared after 1945 and was replaced by a replica in 2005. It bears the inscription: "1864/66, 1870/71, With heart and hand for the fatherland, remembrance of the combatants from Ströbitz".	more pictures
