Oschatz

The charming town of Oschatz lies between the Dahlen Heath and the Wermsdorf Forest. Its favorable location on the once important trade route, the "VIA REGIA", led to the founding of the town around 1200. Today's Altmarkt developed in the Middle Ages as a merchant settlement and formed the starting point for the town's development. The town was once one of the 15 richest towns in Saxony, not least thanks to the industriousness of the local clothiers. Even today, the impressive town houses around the Neumarkt and the magnificent Renaissance gable of Oschatz town hall bear witness to this wealth. The oldest treasure, which was previously hidden, was discovered during the renovation of the Vogtshaus. The Vogtshaus in Oschatz was built around 1180 and is considered the oldest stone house of secular construction in Central Germany.

Today, Oschatz has a lot to offer tourists. During the O-Schatz treasure hunt or during a discovery tour, every visitor is introduced to the town in an amusing way (book guided tours at the Oschatz Information Office).

The St. Aegidienkirche church is a major attraction. Its 75-meter-high towers can be seen from afar. The unique stained glass altar in this church is well worth seeing. Those who are not afraid to climb the 199 steps to the historic tower tower dwelling will be rewarded with a "Schälchen Heeßen" and a fascinating view of the town.

Oschatz has weight

In the middle of the beautiful historic town center is the sight-worthy town and scales museum. In addition to an interesting exhibition on the history of the town and rural life, the complex of medieval council and official fortifications, with its town wall, battlements and walk-in watchtower, is home to the only weighing museum in central Germany. It shows a special exhibition on the development of weighing scales from the beginnings of scales to the latest electronic weighing equipment. Changing special exhibitions enrich a visit to the museum.
