Suggested changes to copy of article "Ballenstedt" in English. "Ballenstedt is a town, which is located on the northern edge of the eastern Harz Mountains. It belongs to the Queslinburg district (kreis) in Saxony-Anhalt. A Roman-style road leads into Ballenstedt. In Ballenstedt there is a castle which was the seat of the Ascanian family. The founder was Albert I (of Brandenburg) who, in 1157, was the first Markgraf of the Brandenburg March (Mark). Albert I, like his father, held the title Graf von Ballenstedt Albert I's grave lies within the Ascanian monastery in Ballenstedt. In the city park, a monument to Albert is located, built from Frithjof Meussling. Ballenstedt is noted for more than its cemetary. The former house of Luegelgens next to the castle (Schlosss)serves today as a museum. Also the castle (Schloss) is used as a museum. The Ballenstedter Schloss Theater is the oldest theatre in Saxony-Anhalt. After the change of 1989, the first democratically selected mayor of Ballenstedt, Wolfgang Gurke, changed the destiny of the city considerably. Likewise for many years the prominent family Kiep resided, whose members include Ottl Kiep (diplomat) and Walther Leisler Kiep." --66.82.9.66 19:16, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
