Discover Dahlewitz: Manor Park, Village Church and Bruno Taut

Dahlewitz combines the protected manor park with the village church, the Riesenstein boulder, Bruno Taut’s house and an area of the village with historic character. Those looking for a mix of culture and activity during their stay will find various points of interest here: the manor park, the village church, traces of Bruno Taut, a distinctive erratic boulder and an approximately 10 km route to Kienitzberg. This allows you to plan your trip according to your interests and preferred daily itinerary.

Manor Park and Historic Village Centre

Dahlewitz Manor Park was designated a protected park in 1989 and has been under monument protection since 1994. It is therefore a specific point of reference for the themes of landscape and local history. In the Dorfstraße–Dorfanger area, the path system corresponds to the typical layout of a medieval German green village. The historic character is therefore evident here not only in individual buildings, but also in the village’s traditional layout.

The Dahlewitz village church and the Riesenstein boulder in Dahlewitz are also part of the points of orientation on a circular walk. The village church stands out for its imposing west tower set crosswise to the nave. The Riesenstein is an erratic boulder with cup-mark structures, built into the outer side of the cemetery wall. These features provide specific points of orientation for a walk through Dahlewitz.

Bruno Taut’s Architecture and Further Discoveries

A particular focus is the work of architect Bruno Taut. In 1926, he had his own house built in Dahlewitz. The house stands out for its unusual quarter-circle floor plan and was declared a listed monument in 1989. Those interested in architecture can connect an unusual house form with the history of the village here.

The Dahlewitz water tower was built in 1897, was in operation for almost 50 years and is currently out of service. The Planetarium of the Dahlewitz School and Public Observatory offers another subject-specific experience. It is housed in a 6 m dome and has a ZKP-1 projector. In this way, an astronomical attraction complements Dahlewitz’s historical and architectural themes.

A Route with Panoramic Views

For a longer outing, an approximately 10 km route leads from Dahlewitz railway station past the manor park along a paved path to Kienitzberg. It offers views of Dahlewitz and the surrounding area. The route then continues via Glasow to the Blankenfelde or Mahlow S-Bahn stations. Take this route into account when planning your day if you would like to explore the surrounding area on foot in addition to the village centre.
