Due to the historical past, Germany has many important sights in store. Berlin alone offers tourists from all over the world so many attractions that it is impossible to visit them all in one or two days.
Whether monument, building, parks, natural attractions, landscapes or urban areas - Germany is rich in attractions and attractions. And they also magically attract guests from all over the world!
Monuments that are reminiscent of the dark, Nazi era in Germany are also very popular. The Holocaust Memorial attracts around ten thousand visitors every day. Also the NS-Ordensburg in Vogelsang offers visitors guided tours through the premises of the former training center for the offspring of the NSDAP leadership cadre.
If that is too dark, you can visit famous marketplaces in almost all German cities such as the historic Marienplatz in Munich or the main market in Trier with the landmarks and picturesque buildings.
Historically, one can not speak of a purely German architecture, since architectural styles are mostly cross-border, they are similar to those of neighboring countries. For Germany, however, speak the quaint old towns with many half-timbered houses and pitched roofs. Often you can admire monumental buildings such as churches from Romanesque and Gothic times, castles and palaces. Villa and block border areas from the industrial revolution as well as the Bauhaus movement created in Germany are also features of German architectural style.
There are some protected buildings and cultural monuments in Germany. Among the most emblematic buildings include the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag building and the TV tower in Berlin. In Cologne, for example, the Cologne Cathedral is the largest cathedral. The Neuschwanstein Castle, the Wartburg, the Frankfurt Paulskirche and the Hambach Castle are important historic sites in Germany.

Cologne Cathedral, for example, radiates the gothic era in every detail of the façade. Not untypical is that there are also subterranean spectacular attractions. Among the picturesque vineyards of the Ahr valley hides a once secret secret, required by the NATO government bunker with 936 sleeping chambers and many other premises.

Germany and its architecture
Germany also has a lot to offer in terms of architecture. The German architecture has features of different eras and there are partly architectural differences from city to city or from village to village. In addition, of course, the destruction of the Second World War can not be overlooked: Especially in city centers, the historic buildings are usually only reconstructed. The smaller cities, however, still have mostly well-preserved old towns.

Important epochs of German architecture
Antiquity (100-150 AD)
An important city of this time was Trier. Among other things, you will find the Porta Nigra , the best preserved city gate of antiquity. The Romans also built typical thermal baths, amphitheaters and bridges.Gothic (1250-1500 AD)
The first Gothic building is the Magdeburg Cathedral, which was built in 1209. This was followed by the Liebfrauenkirche in Trier. Due to the long construction times, many buildings were completed only in the 19th century. This includes the Cologne Cathedral , which is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world after Milan Cathedral. The residential buildings of this period were mostly half-timbered buildings.Renaissance (from 1500 AD)
Through books and records, Italian Renaissance architecture reaches Germany. The palace buildings in Dresden, Berlin, Torgau and Brieg are now based on this special kind of architecture. An example of Renaissance architecture with Dutch influence is the Heidelberg CastleBaroque (from 1650 AD)
Baroque architecture was always modeled on France, especially at the Versailles court. For example, the Dresden Zwinger was built. Among the most famous buildings of Baroque religious architecture is the pilgrimage church Vierzehnheiligen in Upper Franconia and the rebuilt Dresdner FrauenkircheClassicism (from 1750 AD)
The buildings of this time were based on the classical architecture of antiquity. One could call it a countermovement to the Baroque. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin is one of the most famous buildings of classicism in Germany.Historicism (from 1810 AD)
This style referred to the styles of the past, especially the antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. But the Gothic and Romanesque was back in fashion during historicism. Well-known buildings of the time: Neuschwanstein Castle in Hohenschwangau, Berliner Dom, Reichstag building .Top 20 sights of Germany
