München

 

Thanks to Stefan for the card , sent 01.11.2021

    Munich (München in German) means "home of the monks", a name that stems from the Benedictine monastery founded in the area around the mid-8th century. While there is evidence of settlements in the area dating back to the Neolithic period, and the wider region of Bavaria has a history entwined in the Roman Empire, the first time that Munich was mentioned by in a document was in 1158, and this date is generally accepted as its foundation.

Lutherstadt Wittenberg

 

Thanks to Sylvia for the nice card.

    The Luther memorials in Wittenberg were recognized as World Heritage Sites in December 1996, because they "represent a significant milestone in human history and are of outstanding universal significance as authentic sites of the Reformation." The Schlosskirche (Castle Church), Lutherhaus (Luther House), Stadtkirche (City Church) and Melanchthonhaus (Melanchthon House) are part of the heritage.
    Wittenberg was the center of his reformation activities, and the castle church, in whose portal he posted his 95 Theses on October 31, 1517, later became his final resting place, as well as that of Phillip Melanchthon, one of his closest followers.

Mechernich eifel

 

Thanks to Regina for the wonderful card from Germany , sent 01/11/2021

    The Eifel is a region in Germany that boasts some of the loveliest fairy tale towns and medieval castles in the country. Overlooked by most foreign travelers, this region is one of Germany’s best kept secrets. The Eifel is largely rural and quiet, characterized by agriculture, farmland, and woodlands. Sprinkled between pastures of grazing cows and thick forests, you’ll see tiny towns, in which the most prominent buildings are the churches.

    The Eifel is also a low mountain range in eastern Belgium and western Germany. In Germany, the Eifel region borders Belgium, the Moselle River, the Rhine River. If you’re looking at a map, it encompasses the area between Aachen, Trier and Koblenz, in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. Geologically, this region was shaped by volcanic activity. Although the last volcano erupted about 10,000 years ago, evidence of the Eifel’s turbulent past can be seen in the crater lakes, called maars, that pepper the Vulkaneifel landscape.

    There are different ways to enjoy this area. For nature enthusiasts, there are tons of gentle trails and wildlife parks. You can hike a stage of the 313 kilometer Eifelsteig trail, or visit the Eifel National Park. For architecture admirers, there are beautiful castles and medieval towns to visit. And for those who want a respite from a busy travel schedule, the Eifel has several thermal bath (Therme) destinations.

The Eifel also encompasses the Ahr Valley (Ahrtal) and parts of the Moselle Valley (Mosel).

BERLIN Fernsehturm bei Nacht

 

Thanks to Alex sent 15/07/2021

Berlin: the city of all possibilities

    No one is supposed to be unaware that the Berlin Television Tower - Berliner Fernsehturm - is 365 meters tall and the tallest building in Berlin. Legend has it that the height of the tower was decided by Walter Ulbricht, leader of the GDR's Communist Party, so that every child could remember that it corresponded to the number of days in the year. In fact, the tower now measures 368 m at its top.

The roof of Europe

    Construction of the East German transmitter began in the 1950s and the tower, erected between 1965 and 1969, was designed to be the tallest in Europe, just behind the Moscow Television Tower. It was designed by the East German architects Fritz Dieter, Günter Franke and Werner Ahrendt.

A panoramic view

    For East Berlin, a separate television broadcasting system was a necessity during the years of division and the fact that it was built exactly in the center of the city was an original idea of Ulbricht. It remains the only single-city TV tower in Europe. An extremely popular attraction for tourists and Berliners alike, it welcomes more than a million visitors a year. The elevator reaches an altitude of 200 m in 40 seconds. The observation platform is 203 meters above sea level and the telecafé is 207 meters above sea level. The restaurant, equipped with a rotating ring, offers coffee, snacks and meals at reasonable prices, while the platform completes a full rotation every 60 .

I was born in Bonn

Beethoven : misunderstood genius, deaf composer... Who was he? 

    Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770 and died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna, Austria. From an early age, his father, himself a musician, dreamed of making him a Mozart and would have forced him to practice the keyboard from the age of four or five. Even if the young Ludwig was not a child prodigy, he showed excellent musical abilities. In 1787, with the help of Prince Maximilian Franz, Beethoven went to Vienna, the musical capital of the time. There he met Mozart, but little is known of their meeting. When his mother died on July 17, 1787, his father sank into alcoholism, Beethoven had to take care of his two brothers. Beethoven returned to Vienna in 1792 to complete his musical education. He took lessons from Haydn, then from Albrechtsberger and Salieri. Three years later, Beethoven gave his first public performances, playing his own compositions and gaining some success with members of the aristocracy. The young composer was also known for his fiery and impulsive temperament.

Gera,Thüringen

 

Thanks to Sylvia for the nice card .

    Gera is a German town in Thuringia. Famous for its cloth since the Middle Ages, Gera was an important center of the textile industry in the 19th century. Capital of the principality of Reuss from 1848, important industrial city of the GDR, Gera is struggling to reconvert and has lost 20% of its population since 1990.

    Gera is the birthplace of Otto Dix, a major painter of the 20th century in Germany. 

    In the 19th century, Gera became one of the largest railway centers in Germany, at the intersection of several lines. The local textile industry grew together and the town developed rapidly. You can visit some of the many residences of the time that bear witness to this glorious industrial past. The house-museum Haus Schulenburg designed by the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde is an outstanding example
    Head to the market square in Gera, one of the most beautiful squares in Thuringia, to see the splendid town hall. With its baroque mansard roof and elegant tower over the main entrance, it is one of the most beautiful monuments in the city. A three-story baroque government building built around 1720 is visible 'if you take a walk behind the city hall.
    Not far away is the St. Saviour's Church, another masterpiece of German Baroque with its frescoed ceiling and ornate galleries along the nave. Next to the church, you will find a natural history museum, exhibiting the work of Thuringia's most famous ornithologists in its collections.
    On the western outskirts of the city is the Gera City Forest, the largest of its kind among Thuringian cities. To the northwest of the city, another wooded area awaits you for a breath of fresh air.
