Discover Blankenfelde-Mahlow

Blankenfelde-Mahlow offers different ways to explore cultural history, remembrance and the landscape: the Alte Aula, the Fall of the Berlin Wall memorial and Dahlewitz Manor Park each have their own distinctive character. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can first consider which of these themes you would like to shape your stay, and whether you would also like to include individual destinations in the wider Teltow-Fläming travel region.

The Alte Aula and places of remembrance

The history of the Alte Aula dates back to the time of a former castle. The building was constructed using materials from the castle, which was demolished in 1948. The castle was established in the 15th or 16th century as a manor house belonging to the von der Liepe family. The Alte Aula received its current name in 1997. Various cultural events are held there every year. If you would like to plan your stay around a specific cultural event, check the event dates before travelling.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall memorial is located on the B96 at the edge of Mahlow. Another historically significant place is the former foreign nationals’ hospital in the district of Mahlow: it has been developed as a place of commemoration, remembrance and experience. Blankenfelde-Mahlow thus offers both a memorial on the edge of town and a site expressly designed as a place of remembrance and experience for visitors with an interest in history.

Dahlewitz Manor Park: meadows, ditches and bridges

Dahlewitz Manor Park covers about seven hectares. Its first authentic record appears on the Prussian original survey map of 1869. The park therefore combines a manageable area with a historical record reaching far back in time.

Open meadows lie in the western and central parts of the manor park, which also has a network of circular paths. Four bridges bring the ditch system to life, provide crossings over the ring of water ditches and give access to the Great Island. Open meadow areas, as well as the water ditch, bridges and island, all shape the park’s character. If you would like to include a park visit when choosing a holiday apartment, Dahlewitz offers a distinctive landscape focus alongside the cultural and commemorative sites.
