Historical Views

Monuments and their Stories

Bad Saarow is characterized by an interesting, but also contradictory history. It manifests itself in traditional "built testimonies", public buildings, residential and summer houses as well as in places of honor and remembrance. The buildings considered valuable are protected monuments. 
The oldest ones date back to the time of the Löschebrand estate. The churches in Pieskow and Neu Golm have maintained their structural integrity over the centuries through innovation and preservation. 

Most of Saarow's monuments were created with the founding of the villa colony in the area surrounding the Berlin metropolis in 1906. The first country houses, the legendary train station complex and the historic mud bath represent successful references to the contemporary local style, especially to German spa architecture. The designers gave the place its specific face through the unity of development plan, architecture and landscape design. 

An astonishing architectural diversity developed, especially in the 1920s. The combination of tradition and modernity corresponded to the taste of the builders and the ideas of experimental architects. 

Works of art for public spaces have also been placed under protection. The Fuchsbau bunker complex is a technical monument. The "Fuchsbau Bunker Museum" presents the eventful history of the military use of the complex from World War II to 2.

You have to see the joy that went into building a house.
