Fürstenberg's late Gothic brick hall church, with octagonal pillars and star vaults, crowns the Oder River's high western bank, dominating the old town skyline. Destroyed by arson in 1945, it was rebuilt externally by 1963 and fully restored inside by 2006 with a copper spire.
Sowjetisches Ehrenmal
For 4109 prisoners of war.
Museum of Utopia and Everyday Life
A small museum, housed in the city's former day nursery, with exhibits and background information (in German and English) on daily life in the GDR. There is a permanent exhibition as well as a temporary one. A good place to buy GDR knicknacks and postcards as souvenirs.
Tourismusverein Oder-Region Eisenhüttenstadt e.V.
The city's tourist information is staffed by friendly and cheerful locals, who'll be able to answer any question you might possibly have on "Iron Hut City". They also rent out bikes, can arrange accommodation and provide guided tours. Their English might be limited (depending on the staff on duty), but non-German speakers should be able to get by.
Deutsch-Polnisch-Sowjetische Freundschaft
Perhaps the most famous piece of Socialist Realism in Eisenhüttenstadt, created in 1965 and located on the backside of the former department store "Magnet". It was created by Walter Womacka, who was also responsible for similar architectural artworks in Berlin's district of Mitte.
