Gräfenhainichen, Urban municipality in Wittenberg, Germany

The town of Gräfenhainichen stands at 90 meters above sea level in Saxony-Anhalt, between Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Bitterfeld near Düben Heath.

Following its first mention in 1254, Gräfenhainichen received renewed town rights in 1454 after original documents were destroyed during a devastating fire.

The Paul Gerhardt House, built between 1907 and 1909, functions as a community center honoring the influential German hymn writer born in Gräfenhainichen.

Gräfenhainichen connects to major cities through the B107 federal highway and maintains a railway station on the Deutsche Bahn line between Wittenberg and Bitterfeld.

Ferropolis, located on a peninsula in Lake Gremmin, displays five preserved mining excavators from former brown coal mines, now serving as an open-air museum.
