It was later converted into a chapel. <\/p>\n<p>The Protestant parish of Harzgerode acquired the chapel in 1933. During the GDR era, use of the chapel was made difficult as Alexisbad was used by state authorities such as the State Security, the Ministry of the Interior and the SED as a place of recreation. After reunification, it was reopened to the public in 1990 and underwent a thorough renovation in 1992.  <\/p>\n<p>Significant for Alexisbad, the building appears in yellow-painted wood paneling with a roof made of folded zinc sheeting. Inside, above the altar, there is an impressive copy of a depiction of St. Peter by the Dresden court painter Anton Raphael Mengs. Concerts and devotions have been held regularly in the chapel since 1999.  <\/p>\n<p>After a further renovation in 2007\/08, it was solemnly named &#8220;St. Peter&#8217;s Chapel Alexisbad&#8221; during the Easter service in 2008.

The memorial commemorates the victims of the roasting furnace disaster of 1842: A young worker and others who tried to save him died while cleaning an industrial furnace.The cemetery belongs to the

The massive stone building dates back to the years 1747 &#8211; 1749.<\/p>\n<p>However, a predecessor building from 1520 was already mentioned in documents. The church tower was erected in 1484, as confirmed by an inscription in the tower knob. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are no records of the appearance of the first church in K\u00f6nigerode, which is over 1000 years old. St. Andrew&#8217;s Church is one of the Harz churches that have been supported by the LEADER program<em>(methodical approach to regional development)<\/em>, which has contributed to its preservation and restoration.

Fires in the 15th and 16th centuries and subsequent renovations destroyed and changed the church&#8217;s former appearance. It was rebuilt in 1698 on the orders of Prince Wilhelm von Anhalt-Bernburg-Harzgerode.<\/p>\n<p>The nave was extended to double the width of the tower, which meant that the tower was no longer aligned with the symmetrical axis of the nave. Upon entering the church, visitors are greeted by a true Baroque splendor. Three galleries are decorated with ornate carvings and 72 emblems. The recent restoration has created an impressive world of images, which mainly tell biblical stories.   <\/p>\n<p>But local themes are also depicted here: Depictions can be found to the left of the pulpit: The &#8220;Albertine&#8221; mine and silver smelting in the Selketal. <\/p>\n<p>The Prince&#8217;s Chair, built especially for Prince Wilhelm, stretches across the entire width of the east side and is crowned with a picture of the Prince and his two wives. Beneath the tower is a vault in which the Prince and his first wife Elisabeth Albertine rest in magnificent Baroque coffins.   <\/p>\n<p>Despite the two world wars in the 20th century, the church building remained largely undamaged. However, the bells fell victim to the war as metal levies. Only the Seiger bell, cast in 1486 and recast in 1725, fortunately returned to Harzgerode. In the 1980s, a comprehensive renovation of the church began in order to preserve its beauty and history.

The building is characterized by its simple elegance and provides a space for church services, devotions and cultural events.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4a8642 elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"e4a8642\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-map-marker-alt\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tADDRESS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSchulstra\u00dfe - 06493 Harzgerode OT Schielo\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8afb48a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8afb48a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a7e4032\" data-id=\"a7e4032\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e743e19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-heading-block\" data-id=\"e743e19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-heading-block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-heading-block gva-element\">   <div class=\"align-left style-1 widget gsc-heading box-align-left auto-responsive\">\r\n      <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n         \r\n                  \r\n         <div class=\"sub-title\"><span class=\"tagline\">Neudorf<\/span><\/div>  \r\n         \r\n                     <h3 class=\"title\">\r\n               <span>Kirche St. Petrus und Paulus<\/span>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                  \r\n         \r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93fc57a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93fc57a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The church of St. Peter and Paul in Neudorf is a striking landmark of the village and dominates its skyline.

Built in the neo-Romanesque style from slate quarry stone with brick facings, it has a square church tower to the west of the nave. Renovations took place in the 1930s and 1970s. In 2010, black clay tiles replaced the former shingles.   <\/p>\n<p>Inside the church there is a carved and painted beamed ceiling as well as a horseshoe-shaped choir and organ loft with coffered balustrades. The furnishings date from the time the church was built. The organ was made by Carl Voigt from Halberstadt. A gravestone immortalizes the last Catholic clergyman of the previous building, who died in 1523 and has a carved figure.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-461f9b3 elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"461f9b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-map-marker-alt\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tADDRESS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPfarrgasse 25 - \n06493 Harzgerode OT G\u00fcntersberge\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7a50fb2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7a50fb2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-77048ea\" data-id=\"77048ea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-201c2c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-heading-block\" data-id=\"201c2c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-heading-block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-heading-block gva-element\">   <div class=\"align-left style-1 widget gsc-heading box-align-left auto-responsive\">\r\n      <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n         \r\n                  \r\n         <div class=\"sub-title\"><span class=\"tagline\">Ballenstedt<\/span><\/div>  \r\n         \r\n                     <h3 class=\"title\">\r\n               <span>Kirche St. Elisabeth (kath.)<\/span>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                  \r\n         \r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f91765 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f91765\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Catholic Church of St. Elisabeth was designed by the Magdeburg architect Franz Josef Arnold in 1931 and completed in 1933.<\/p>\n<p>It is a true treasure of art history: built in the Bauhaus style, as a modern church it reflects the spirit of the Bauhaus tradition. As a so-called &#8220;sectional church&#8221;, its floor plan is characterized by unusual angles and transitions between the rooms. A particularly outstanding feature of the church are the oversized depictions of the saints St. Boniface and St. Elisabeth in the round arches of the entrance area.  <\/p>\n<p>The German painter Bernd Terhorst (1893-1986) created these using a very rare painting technique. In the style of Renaissance sgraffito painting, colors were applied on top of each other and scratched out in the two twin portal niches. <\/p>\n<p>Inside, expressionist stained-glass windows stand out alongside 14 terracotta panels by the artist Georg Kemper depicting the Way of the Cross of Jesus Christ. The interior of the church was rebuilt in the 1970s to bring the preacher closer to the congregation: The high altar and high pulpit were removed. A new wooden cross by the Dresden artist Friedrich Press completed these renovations in 1973. After reunification, the church was renovated again and fitted with new furniture and an organ, among other things.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8ee8fe elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"a8ee8fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-map-marker-alt\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tADDRESS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tQuedlinburger Stra\u00dfe 4 - 06493 Ballenstedt\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2039271 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2039271\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e45d728\" data-id=\"e45d728\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0eb5cb9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0eb5cb9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9e5d4b8\" data-id=\"9e5d4b8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c560632 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-heading-block\" data-id=\"c560632\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-heading-block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-heading-block gva-element\">   <div class=\"align-left style-1 widget gsc-heading box-align-left auto-responsive\">\r\n      <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n         \r\n                  \r\n         <div class=\"sub-title\"><span class=\"tagline\">Dankerode<\/span><\/div>  \r\n         \r\n                     <h3 class=\"title\">\r\n               <span>Kirche St. Nicolai<\/span>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                  \r\n         \r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b7826c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b7826c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Protestant church of St. Nicolai is a single-nave building in the late Gothic style and is located in the historic town center of Ballenstedt.<\/p>\n<p>The Nicolai Church was first mentioned in 1326 as the Chapel of St. Nicolai. The cross tower in the west, which dates back to the 12th century, was the only part of the building to survive after a fire in 1498. In 1500, the church was rebuilt in the late Gothic style.  <\/p>\n<p>An inscription states that the lower carved galleries were installed in 1587. The organ loft was extended in 1826 and the upper gallery was added at the same time. The last construction phase was not completed until 1965. Artistic inventory can be found here: The balustrade contains an extensive cycle of paintings with depictions from the Old and New Testaments as well as three coats of arms.

It is built as a hall above the crypt of the old monastery church. Round arches and ornate capitals adorn the crypt, where display boards explain the history.  <\/p>\n<p>Integrated into the east wing of the castle, the church can still be admired today in a rectangular gallery hall. The church looks more like a stylish banqueting hall &#8211; the gallery with pulpit and organ provide the ecclesiastical attributes. The castle church once served the Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg as a place of worship and celebration. The castle church was thus the scene of important historical events, including royal weddings, baptisms and funerals, which shaped its history and that of the region. It is no wonder that the church is still a place for Christian ceremonies today, especially weddings. So you can spend a wonderful, fairytale wedding day here with everything that goes with it.

There is a gallery on the western side of the nave.   <\/p>\n<p>An important event in the history of the church was the ceremonial consecration on October 23, 1892, which was attended by the Dowager Duchess of Anhalt-Bernburg.

A pointed arched window can still be seen on the east wall of the church.    <span style=\"color: var(--e-global-color-text); font-family: var(--gowilds-font-sans-serif);\">The two small entrance vestibules, which are highlighted by a patterned slate covering, also date from 1874.  <\/span><span style=\"color: var(--e-global-color-text); font-family: var(--gowilds-font-sans-serif);\">In the St. Viti church there is a well-preserved Romanesque baptismal font, which impresses with its simple beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30afd9d elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"30afd9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-map-marker-alt\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tADDRESS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAlte Hauptstra\u00dfe 134 - 06493 Ballenstedt OT Badeborn\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-012daf3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"012daf3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54b9842\" data-id=\"54b9842\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbed3f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-heading-block\" data-id=\"cbed3f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-heading-block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-heading-block gva-element\">   <div class=\"align-left style-1 widget gsc-heading box-align-left auto-responsive\">\r\n      <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n         \r\n                  \r\n         <div class=\"sub-title\"><span class=\"tagline\">Radisleben<\/span><\/div>  \r\n         \r\n                     <h3 class=\"title\">\r\n               <span>Kirche St. Stephani<\/span>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                  \r\n         \r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69949df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69949df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The town&#8217;s most striking landmark is St. Stephen&#8217;s Church.
