Aschersleben, Medieval town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

Located on the northeastern edge of the Harz Mountains in the Eine Valley, Aschersleben contains 15 accessible defensive towers along its medieval walls.

First documented in 753, Aschersleben obtained municipal rights in 1266 and joined the Hanseatic League in 1426 due to its profitable hop trade.

The municipal museum occupies an 18th-century farmhouse, displaying artifacts spanning 1,250 years of local history, including a mammoth ear and a Masonic temple.

The town provides extensive green spaces through the Promenadenring, Herrenbreite, Bestehornpark, Rosarium, Stadtpark, and Eine-Terrasse, connected by walking paths.

The Drive Thru Gallery exhibits works by Neo Rauch in an unconventional format, while the zoo houses rare Siberian and White Tigers.
