Looking ahead, it is necessary for Seegrehna to strengthen the core through the centralization of public life, as well as to largely preserve the existing structure. Promoting tourism will only be successful if Seegrehna is more connected with other places. Innovations and improvements to the existing ones should also ensure more tourism, such as a sunken garden that is intended to give visitors a little adventure, say students Katja Lindrath and Carina Voge on this topic. In addition, the ramparts are to be improved and used as an excursion and event location. According to students Nancy Ungurean and Susanne Perplies, the city estate is also an important point of change. Due to its massive character, it distances itself greatly from the “young” Seegrehna. It is therefore necessary for a communal social life to be created, which is centrally bundled through a market with a hall, consumption, clubs, club rooms and administration. The fire department also has an elevated base here.
But the domain from the 16th century should also shine in new splendor for visitors. Maren Berbig, a student at HS Anhalt, commented on this topic that the ensemble should be upgraded. This includes the reconstruction of the south wing, the construction of craft cells in the east wing, and an earth embankment as the boundary of the property in the west. Through a mixed use of commercial, residential and agricultural use, the domain is to be connected to public transport and cycle paths and thus be an attraction for tourists and Wittenberg residents.
