Aschersleben: Discover Art, Parks and Culture

A stay in Aschersleben can center on cultural sites, parks and selected activities. If you’re looking for a hotel in Aschersleben, considering the interests you have planned can help you choose: would you like to explore art and history, include green spaces or pick destinations for a bike ride?

Art, Architecture and Early History

Cultural attractions include modern art, impressive towers, a Romanesque hilltop castle and an unusually slanted church. The Masonic lodge temple is also among them: it is considered unique in Germany and is open to the public. The Aschersleben DRIVE THRU GALLERY presents outdoor artworks along the main road through the city and is aimed at motorists. Its themes thus range from historic buildings to art in the streetscape.

The museum’s exhibition on prehistory and early history features archaeological finds from Aschersleben and the surrounding area. It covers a broad period, from the Palaeolithic to the Iron Age. Anyone interested in the region’s history will find a different perspective here than by looking at its towers and buildings.

Parks, Gardens and Nature

Landscaped parks and gardens stretch from the train station to the Eine River and surround the historic old town with a green belt. The five inner-city parks and the Promenadenring are part of the Garden Dreams – Historic Parks in Saxony-Anhalt network. The parks and gardens are accessible to visitors with disabilities. As access information may change, please check it before your trip.

A special focus on nature can be found on the nature trail in the municipal cemetery. Five information panels there explain features of nature and wildlife. Access is subject to the cemetery’s opening hours.

Planetarium, Graphic Art Foundation and Guided Tours

The planetarium presents astronomy alongside other natural science topics and space travel. The visitor program includes expert talks, stargazing and music events. The program may change, so please check the latest dates in advance.

The Neo Rauch Graphic Art Foundation is located in Bestehornpark. You can reach it on foot via Bestehornstraße, Wilhelmstraße or the park entrance on Heinrichstraße. Guided tours are currently available to book in German or English. As access and booking arrangements may change, please check them before your visit.

Guided tours also explore the history and people behind marjoram cultivation in Aschersleben. The availability of these tours may also change; please check in advance if you’re planning a tour.

Getting Around and Cycling Tours

A tourist pedestrian wayfinding system leads to notable houses, towers and parks. There are various destinations for bike rides: a circular route from Aschersleben passes through a bird sanctuary and stops at Lake Frose; another route leads to Arnstein Castle ruins. A cycle route also connects Aschersleben and Seeland. The Aschersleben–Harzer Seenland Tour is listed as a cycling route.

When planning your days, you can choose different focuses, from exploring the city to nature and cycling tours. This can help you choose a hotel in Aschersleben based on the interests that matter to you during your stay.
