Village Character
The preserved historic village center lies directly on the Oder-Havel Canal and includes the village church and two inns. The canal in Friedrichsthal can be crossed on foot or by bicycle via a footbridge and cycle bridge; it replaced the former passenger ferry.
History
The former Friedrichsthal Palace extended from today’s village square toward the Havel. Its remaining buildings were demolished in 1875; a stone coat of arms set into the village church commemorates the site. The church was built between 1895 and 1897.
A memorial plaque on Grabowseestraße commemorates the circus strongman Siegmund Breitbart, who spent part of his life in Friedrichsthal and owned a villa there. On Friedrichsthaler Chaussee, colonist houses preserve the history of French-Swiss immigration and the village’s former 18th-century clockmaking industry.
