<p>Die Petruskapelle Alexisbad ist die evangelische Kapelle des zur Stadt Harzgerode gehörenden Ortsteils Alexisbad. Der kleine Kirchbau befindet sich am östlichen Ufer der Selke, an der sogenannten Kügelgenpromenade, gegenüber der alten Posthalterei.<br />
<br />
Das kleine Holzgebäude wurde 1812/1815 nach einem Entwurf von Karl Friedrich Schinkel am rechtsseitigen Ufer der Selke in dem seinerzeit neu angelegten Kurort Alexisbad als Teehäuschen für Herzog Alexius und Herzogin Marie Friederike von Anhalt-Bernburg errichtet. <br />
<br />
Da Alexisbad über keine Kirche verfügte, wurde auf Anordnung der späteren Besitzerin des Kurbades und des herzoglichen Pavillons, Herzogin Friederike von Anhalt-Bernburg, alle zwei Wochen ein Gottesdienst in dem Teehäuschen abgehalten, das schließlich zur Kapelle umgebaut wurde.<br />
<br />
Im Jahre 1933 erwarb die evangelische Kirchengemeinde von Harzgerode das Gebäude.<br />
<br />
Während der DDR-Zeit verfiel die Kapelle und konnte nicht mehr für Gottesdienste genutzt werden. <br />
<br />
Nach der Wende wurde sie 1990 wieder geöffnet, in den folgenden zwei Jahren grundlegend saniert und wird seit Ostermontag 1992 wieder für den Gottesdienst genutzt. <br />
<br />
Als infolge des Selkehochwassers im April 1994 Alexisbad unter Wasser stand, blieb die Kapelle ohne Schäden und musste nur gereinigt werden. Seit 1999 finden in ihr zudem regelmäßig Konzerte und seit 2007 auch standesamtliche Trauungen statt.<br />
<br />
In einem Festgottesdienst mit Bischof Martin Hein wurde der Kapelle am Ostermontag 2008 durch den anhaltischen Kirchenpräsidenten Helge Klassohn in Anlehnung an das Altarbild mit Petrusdarstellung der Name „Petruskapelle Alexisbad“ verliehen.<br />
Baubeschreibung und Ausstattung<br />
<br />
Das Gebäude im Stil des Klassizismus besteht aus einer zentralen Rotunde und vier niedrigeren quadratischen Annexbauten mit flachem Satteldach auf kreuzförmigem Grundriss – ein Motiv, das Schinkel abgewandelt und in größerem Maßstab bei seinem sieben Jahre später begonnenen Jagdschloss Antonin wiederholte. <br />
<br />
Die Außenwände sind mit einer horizontalen, gelb gestrichenen Holzverschalung verkleidet, die Dächer mit einer Falzdeckung aus Zinkblech bedeckt.<br />
<br />
Das namensgebende Altarbild ist die Kopie einer Petrusdarstellung des Dresdner Hofmalers Anton Raphael Mengs. Das Ölbild mit dem kreuztragenden Heiland malte die gebürtige anhaltinische Prinzessin Luise von Preußen 1838 und war ursprünglich das Altarbild der alten Kapelle in Mägdesprung.<br />

<p>The Städel Museum was founded in 1817. It was established on the basis of a bequest by the Frankfurt banker Johann Friedrich Städel, who left his house, his art collection and his fortune.<br />
<br />
Today, the Städel Museum is one of Germany’s leading art museums. Its collection comprises around 3,100 paintings, ranging from the Middle Ages through the modern era to contemporary art. It is renowned for its excellent temporary exhibitions, which regularly attract hundreds of thousands of visitors.<br />
<br />
The coastal town of Étretat has become a myth. Its cliffs captivated numerous artists in the 19th century. Claude Monet was so fascinated by their unique shapes and the natural rock arches that he painted them several times. The Städel Museum presented a major exhibition dedicated to the artistic discovery of the former fishing village of Étretat and its influence on modern painting.<br />
<br />
The exhibition Monets Küste - Die Entdeckung von Étretat / Monet´s Coat - The Discovery of Étretat attracted over 250,000 visitors in 2026<br />

Kremer in Elmshorn erbaut, 1964 sank das Schiff, 1993 wurde das vollgelaufene Schiff schwimmfähig gemacht und nach Fuhlendorf überführt, es sollte restauriert werden - das kam aber nie zustande. 1995 wurde der Schiffskörper in Fuhlendorf auf den privaten Strand gezogen.<br />
A *Besan-Schute* (sailing barge) with a steel hull and wooden bottom, named *JOHANNA*, was built in 1899 by D. W. Kremer in Elmshorn. The vessel sank in 1964; in 1993, the waterlogged craft was made buoyant again and transported to Fuhlendorf with the intention of restoring it—though this never came to pass. In 1995, the hull was hauled onto a private beach in Fuhlendorf.</p>

<p>The Introduction of so-called "PlusBus" routes with an all-day hourly service pattern meant also the change of contract for many VEJ rural bus routes in Ostfriesland. Route 450 connecting Emden with Aurich is operated by DB's subsidairy Weser-Ems-Bus with new MAN Lion's Intercity LE330 32C Efficient Hybrids since 2025, carrying the blue and green PlusBus Ostfriesland livery. The bus crosses the so-called Ems-Jade-Kanal on a rather elderly bridge. The canal lies at 0m above sea level – the lower fields around are protected by large dykes since several centuries, but have been salt marshes until the middle age, being flooded twice daily.</p>

<p>Burg Lindenfels is among the oldest documented castle sites in the Odenwald. A predecessor called Slirburc<br />
- probably an earth-and-timber fortification - was recorded around 1080. The stone castle is traditionally<br />
associated with Count Berthold the Younger and first appears under the name Lindenfels in 1123. It later<br />
belonged to Konrad of Hohenstaufen, the half-brother of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.<br />
In 1277, Count Palatine Ludwig II acquired the castle, beginning nearly six centuries of rule by the Electoral<br />
Palatinate. The complex was progressively fortified: the town walls were constructed during the 14th<br />
century, while the medieval core was enlarged into a stronger fortress during the 15th and 16th centuries.<br />
Although occupied several times, including during the Thirty Years' War, it was never destroyed in battle.<br />
The castle declined during the 18th century. The central keep was dismantled in 1728, further parts were<br />
removed later in the century, and the complex was officially released for demolition in 1789. Its stone<br />
subsequently served as building material. Preservation work began in the 1880s. Today, the surviving fabric<br />
includes portions of the polygonal curtain wall, the Gothic residential building, gateways and later defensive<br />
works; the vanished round keep is marked in the courtyard paving.</p>
