Germany has it all
Some of the most wonderful scenery in the world can be found in Germany; the place is simply stunning. From charming rustic villages to sophisticated city this country has it all. The history of this country changed the world, and today the people of Germany are at the heart of Europe. Germany has been the home of some of the most influential humans in history. Beethoven was born in this part of the worlds and so were Neitzsche, Kant, Karl Marx, Bach, Kafka, and Mozart; as well as many more.
It is impossible to imagine the world today without Germany bit it didn’t actually exist as a country until 1871; prior to this the land was part of the Holy Roman Empire. After the Second World War it was divided into East and West Germany only to be unified again in 1990. Today there are over 80 million people living in the Federal Republic.
A place that all tourists to Germany must see is Heidelberg; this is a university city and the scenery surrounding it will take your breath away. The city lies on the banks of the river Neckar. This is the home of universities and castles and is considered one of the most romantic places in Europe. Nearly four million people visit the city each year and most of the local population are involved in the service industry; a lot of this dealing with tourism. The city is home to some world renowned art festivals, and is considered a great city of learning.
Berlin was one of the most important cities during the last century and for many decades it was the place where Russia and the United States fought their cold war. The city was divided during this time by the Berlin Wall and when this fell in 1990 the whole world looked on in amazement. As well as being the home of political intrigue Berlin has also produced some great music. David Bowie moved there for a few years, and U2 recorded one of their albums there.
Another city in Germany that has had great impact on the rest of the world is Hamburg. This is where the Beatles first became famous after leaving their homes in Liverpool. For three years they played three shows a day and this is believed to be the reason why they became so good. It could easily be argued that without Hamburg there would have been no Beatles and the world of modern music would be a lot different. Hamburg is a northern industrial town that is well worth a visit because it offers a different view of Germany.
Freyburg is another part of Germany that is well worth a visit. This had been described as the Tuscany of the North and is the part of the country devoted to producing wine. The city contains some quaint architecture and the nearby scenery makes a visit worthwhile. If you enjoy wine then this is the place to go because of the many wine festivals there each year.
