- 1We begin our tour at the Main Railway Station, a large complex built in the 1920’s complete with a 12 story tower topped with the Mercedes-Benz logo that is clearly visible from afar. Leaving the train station we will enter the Königsstrasse (King's Street), a pedestrian shopping zone flanked by beautiful palace grounds, first of which is the Palace Square, the largest square in the inner city containing the royal gardens, that have been renovated in 1977 for the State Garden Exhibit and again in 2006 for the World Cup Finals. Adorned by sculptures, fountains and even a lake adjacent to the New Palace dating back to the late 18th century this is a popular place for recreation, sports, open air concerts and even Christmas markets. Opposite of the palace stands the Königsbau, a city palace commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm I, that has since then been cleverly converted into a shopping mall. Just across from the Königsbau you will notice Stuttgart's Art Museum, a spectacular glass cubicle containing many fine examples of German modern art, and in the evening offers a spectacular light show. From here we will enter Schiller Square, a square centered by a statue of Friedrich Schiller, the world famous writer hailed as Shakespeare’s german counterpart. The statue itself is one of the most recent additions to this square however, because the very origins of the city can be traced back to this place nearly a 1000 years ago. It was here that the first stone buildings were erected, most notable being the old castle, an old fortification that used to be surrounded by water filled moat. Also noteworthy are the Collegiate Church, the Fruchtkasten, a gothic style stone building, and the Ministry of Justice. Most of the buildings here received a significant makeover during the renaissance age and again after World War 2. Today the square is used as a marketplace and as a Christmas market. Our next stop is the City Market Hall that has nice murals decorating the facade. Just a few minutes from here is Karls Square a square featuring a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor and Head of the State of a united modern Germany on horseback. Behind the statue are two obelisks that stand as a monument of the Franco-Prussian war which not only marks German victory over France but marks the start as Germany as a united and modern nation in the mid-19th century.

- tarangaa0 contributionsBonn Christmas Markets are the best and delightful for all agesI did not do this tour but wanted to talk about the Bonn Christmas markets because they were the most spectacular little makers to start with in Winter time in Germany. We were travelling to Phantasialand and then went to Bonn and there we did the Xmas markets and they were delightful and full of fun and the people were all there having fun and enjoying themselves. So if you are travelling in Germany in November when the Christmas markets start and if you are travelling to Bonn, do not miss out on the fun and delightful Xmas markets there.Written November 25, 2024
- Marf136690 contributionsThis medieval city raised havoc on Jews from Middle Ages thru WWII.Regensburg was founded as an imperial Roman fort. As part of the Holy Roman Empire, it housed the Perpetual Diet of Regensburg (Reichstag) from 1663-1806. The Stone Bridge spanning the Danube River (built around 1140) opened up trade routes between Venice and the North. The Old City Gate is at one end of this bridge. Peter the Hermit led a mob of 1st Crusaders to force mass conversion of Jews. Those who resisted were killed. Those who fled, later returned and lived in relative peace until Nov. 9, 1938 (Kristallnacht) when the Synagogue, homes and stores were destroyed and 220 Jews were arrested and deported to Dachau. Note that Regensburg, like most communities in Europe, has numerous Stumbling Stones in its streets.Written November 18, 2024
- sharonaN7791IX0 contributionsHistoric beautyWe had a couple days in Hanover, Germany and decided to take a private walking tour with a professional guide. Our guide Anna was fantastic. She met us in the heart of the city and our adventure began. Each turn was like a walk though a different time in history. There are still walls intact from the 14th century. The city had to almost completely rebuild after WWII since a vast majority was destroyed by bombing. The city did an amazing job of keeping the historic feel while at the same time acknowledging the damage of war. Hanover is beautiful and definitely worth a stop.Written November 3, 2024
