Discover Blankenfelde-Mahlow

If you are looking for a hotel in Blankenfelde-Mahlow, the different local attractions can help you decide on a destination: Dahlewitz Manor Park combines open meadows with a system of ditches and traces of history. There is also the Alte Aula, cultural events, and memorial sites in Mahlow. This lets you tailor your stay to the interests that matter to you.

Dahlewitz Manor Park: Meadows, Paths, and Water

Dahlewitz Manor Park covers around seven hectares. Open meadows lie in the western and central parts of the park, and there is also a circular network of paths. Four bridges bring the system of ditches to life, provide crossings over the ring-shaped water ditch, and give access to the Great Island. Together, these features create an impression of open spaces within a landscape shaped by water ditches.

Depending on which aspect interests you most, you can understand the park through its different features: the meadows reflect the open character of its western and central areas, while the bridges draw attention to the system of ditches and the crossing to the island. Its size is also a useful point of reference: at around seven hectares, it gives you a sense of the park’s extent without reducing its individual features to a single perspective.

There is a specific date that provides a historical reference point for the manor park: its first authentic record appears in the Prussian Urmesstischblatt (original survey map) of 1869. The year connects today’s park with a historical map record, adding a documented historical dimension to the impression of the site.

The Alte Aula and Memorial Sites in Mahlow

The Alte Aula brings together architectural history and cultural life. It was built using materials from the palace, which was demolished in 1948. The palace had been established in the 15th or 16th century as the manor house of the von der Liepe family. The Alte Aula received its present name in 1997 and hosts various cultural events every year. At this one location, the history of the former palace, its later naming, and recurring cultural events sit side by side.

The Berlin Wall Memorial is another notable landmark in Mahlow: it is located on the B96 at the edge of town. Another place of remembrance is the former foreign nationals’ hospital in the cadastral area of the Mahlow district. It has been developed as a place of commemoration, remembrance, and experience. The two sites each have a distinct focus: the memorial commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall, while the former hospital has been developed as a place of commemoration and experience.

Culture and Activities in the Wider Destination of Teltow-Fläming

The wider destination of Teltow-Fläming offers further cultural attractions. The Baruther Glashütte settlement is a monument of European significance. It is home to a living glass museum with a working furnace, while traditional workshops produce one-off pieces and small batches. Craftsmanship and glass production provide a different focus from the local history of the Alte Aula or the park in Dahlewitz.

The region’s museums also differ in their subject matter. The museum in the Mönchenkloster in Jüterbog presents regional archaeology, the history of the Reformation, and the city’s military history across three floors. The MUST – Museum of the City and Technology in Ludwigsfelde covers city history, vehicle manufacturing, and engines. These examples show the breadth of historical and technical topics across the wider destination.

Cyclists can explore almost 600 kilometers of tourist cycling routes in the district of Teltow-Fläming. The district also maintains and regularly cleans the Fläming-Skate. Nevertheless, check route conditions before setting out. This helps you distinguish between local attractions and other offerings across the wider destination when planning your trip, without treating them as one and the same.
