Poxdorf: Poetry Trail, Double Church and Views from Lappberg

Culture, Village Character and Special Viewpoints

The Poxdorf Poetry Trail was created in 2015 for the 700th anniversary, based on an idea by Germanist Dr. Johannes Heiner. The year it was created, the anniversary context and the person who came up with the idea give the cultural project a clear historical framework. If you are interested in the origins of local cultural projects, the trail offers a specific point of connection.

The Double Church gives Poxdorf’s village character a distinctive character. It is a landmark to look out for if you are interested in the village’s architecture.

The newly erected cross on Lappberg is considered a special place of hope, reflection and peace, where people can find strength and hope. From there, you can look out over the church and Poxdorf. The site’s spiritual significance and views across the village give it several distinct facets.

At the 2026 Orchard Meadow Day, the Schmitt and Wagner nurseries in Poxdorf provided insights into grafting techniques, the selection of varieties and rootstocks, and sustainable cultivation methods. The program therefore focused not only on the orchard meadow as a subject, but also on the practical questions involved in cultivating it.
