Hello and welcome to the Emigranda TV channel Today we have a new topic related to discovering Germany, but before I start, let’s change the surroundings! Welcome to Bad Gandersheim! I was never here in this little town. It is located in the south of Lower Saxony and I took you here to discover it together. It is also a pretext to share with you my observation: most large German cities, basically all above 200-300,000 inhabitants, were destroyed during WW2 and – with few exceptions – they weren’t rebuilt or reconstructed after the war. Nevertheless, there are numerous small cities and towns here, that are simply beautiful! Therefore I want to present you the subjective list of the 10 most beautiful such towns I have seen in Germany. This list is very subjective and Bad Gandersheim is not on it – also because I am here for the first time but I came here because I saw from the train this intriguing view of the Romanesque church towers. Let’s start with some remarks about the methodology. Firstly, there are at least hundreds of beautiful small towns in this country, therefore this is my personal, subjective view. In my selection of these 10 towns, I followed a few rules. Number one is – these are the places I have seen. Therefore, there are some beautiful towns I omitted, as I only heard about them and have not visited, like Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Secondly, I tried to make this list diverse to show various types of German towns, therefore places like Lindau or Weimar are not on the list simply because I have selected a similar site from the region, and I liked it a bit more. Thirdly I was trying to select sites rich in monuments and quite spectacular. There are many towns, like this one, that are gorgeous and worth seeing, maybe far from large crowds and you will be impressed by them, but they aren’t simply so impressive as, let’s say, Stralsund. Sadly, this church behind me is closed today, from the outside it is really making a good impression. And the last remark – in Germany, a city is considered large (Großstadt) if it has more than 100,000 inhabitants, so I am focusing on the small cities and towns smaller than that. Let’s start with Stralsund, a phenomenal small Hanseatic city on the Baltic Sea Gothic churches, city walls, old town, city hall, and additionally the sea and a really cool island of Rügen in the vicinity. Therefore it is a place I love very much, I like to return there and I can only suggest it to you! Another northern Hanseatic city I want to suggest here is Lüneburg. It is located in Lower Saxony next to Lüneburg Heath, one of the most sparsely populated regions in Northern Germany full of forests and heathlands and closely related to the beginnings of nature conservation in the country. The city itself has a beautiful city hall, several brick gothic churches like in Stralsund or like in the Polish cities of Toruń, Gdańsk or, let’s say Lidzbark Warmiński. Also, apart from the beautiful old town, the East Prussia Museum in Lüneburg is worth a visit and the restaurant there offers culinary specialities from East Prussian cuisine. Let’s move now a bit south to Quedlinburg a town that played a major role during the rule of the Ottonian emperors 1000 years ago. It has not only very impressive monuments but also the largest amount of timber-framed houses in the whole of Germany! So you can walk around the town and discover many houses like those here in Bad Gandersheim, just many more of them. Quedlinburg is located in East Germany, so let’s stay there and move south and closer to the Polish border to Meißen, a gorgeous town on the Elbe River, north of Dresden. Meißen was the first capital of this region when it was still called the Meißen March. Meißen is not only beautifully located in the river valley, but it is also the main centre of the Saxony Wine Region. [And it is famous for its porcelane] When I was there, it reminded me a bit of Prague in miniature. More to the west is located Mühlhausen don’t mix it with other towns with this name, in particular with the German name of the Alsatian Muhlouse. This one is located in Thuringia. It is one of the most historic towns in Central Germany and it is impressive not only because it has a well-preserved old town with city walls, but it is also known for its culinary heritage, like Unstruttschlamm (mud from the Unstrutt river), a local dessert. Just about 15 minutes walk from the town and I am in an Orchard in the hills, beautiful. Let’s move back to our story and go south, to Bamberg. Like Quedlinburg, it was one of the major political centres of the Holy Roman Empire 1000 years ago. It is a former bishop’s town, beautifully rebuilt in the Baroque era and it is also in the centre of the region with the most breweries per km sq in the world! The most famous beer style is the smoked beer (Rauchbier). If you like Guinness, you may enjoy also this one (although it is a different style!) Let’s move to another corner of Bavaria, to the place where River Inn joins the Danube, next to the border with Austria. There is located another beautiful baroque town – Passau and it is (in my opinion) a smaller sister of Austrian Salzburg. What I like about Passau is that it is located next to one of my favourite regions in Germany – the Bavarian Forest. Down here there are German symbols of biking trails. Above a signpost, I believe it is red because we are in the town. Usually, they are green. And here I see another example of the Weser Renaissance architectural style. Let’s stay in Bavaria and move to Landshut a beautiful late gothic city located north of Munich. It is celebrating its connection to Polish history, I mean the Landshut Wedding (that happened in 1475 between Jadwiga Jagiellonka, the daughter of Polish King, and a local prince John the Good). Nördlingen lies on the western edge of Bavaria in a unique location. There is already a movie about it on our channel. It is a truly beautiful timber-framed town and its uniqueness is related to the fact, that it lies in the middle of a meteorite crater and because of this, it is built from unusual rocks. Nearby, on the edge of the crater, there are sites, where came American astronauts from the Apollo mission to prepare for the mission precisely because of the rocks. My last, 10th town on the list is Bad Wimpfen. It is located on the Neckar River next to Heidelberg. It is a historic imperial town with beautiful timber-framed architecture typical for the Rhine Bassin area. I have selected this one as it is one of the most beautiful for the characteristic river valleys of the area and it has a very nice Christmas Market. Please write a comment if you like this format and if you want to hear about bigger cities as well! OK, listen, my battery was down so I couldn’t record my goodbye, Soon you will see suggestions on what to see next. Remember to share our films if you find it interesting and it would help us to fight with YouTube algorithms. And well, until next time, bye!
