Marktplatz Harburg
Built in 1997 and repaired in 2020, this is the work of a local artist called Fred Jansen, and is covered in sculptures and reliefs portraying the ancient leagues of workmen that existed here in the Middle Ages. It also functions like a pictorical book of the history or Harburg.
The old stone bridge of the city spans the Wörnitz river in nine arches and was built in 1729. It was built on the site of an older passage used since roman times. The first real bridge over the Wörnitz was built in the 15th century and the taxes collected to cross it were responsible for about 20% of the city's income until the arrival of the steam trains in the 19th century. It was also partially destroyed at the end of World War II, but reconstructed soon after.
Evangelische Kirche St. BarbaraPass-by Only
Saint Barbara's church was built in the early 15th century at the feet of the castle, having become the main parrish church of the city after the Reformation. Notice that the tower and the lower floors are built into the mount.
