A scientifically and technological leader in several fields, with inventors and engineers who changed humanity; with poets, writers and music composers who beautified through art, Germany has earned its nickname as “the land of poets and thinkers”. The important cultural background shines through names like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, the Brothers Grimm, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Ludwig van Beethoven and Johan Sebastian Bach. The 7th largest country in Europe has had over 100 Nobel Prize Winners and a beauty combining the old and new.
Take pictures of the old Berlin Wall or the Branderburger Gate, the two symbolic remnants which divided East from West Berlin. Remember Germany’s great historical influence in the educational monument called The Holocaust Memorial or admiring the Angel of Peace, a statue erected to celebrate the victory over France. Be a spectator in the Bayerische Staatsoper Opera House or learn everything you wanted to know about science in Munich’s Deutsches Museum, the world’s largest when it comes to technology and science. Smile outdoors mountain biking through the Black Forest or relax watching the calm waters of Lake Constance. Remember fairytales in Neuschwanstein castle, the real prototype for Walt Disney’s Sleeping beauty and have fun drinking the traditional German beer at the world famous Oktoberfest.
Feel inspired the great cultural heritage and the important historical background in Germany, the country of poets and thinkers.
