White laundry in a museum
Genthin
The industrial history of the city is closely connected with the Henkel plants. In the Henkel Museum the visitor can learn about the birthplace of Persil and Spee detergents. And if you want to walk in novelist Theodor Fontane's footsteps, in Zerben you’ll find the parental home of his most famous character, Effi Briest. The monument remembering the worst rail accident on German soil is another piece of the Genthin story.
