We visited Trier, Aachen, and Rothenberg Au Der Tauber on a trip to Germany in 2007. So much wonderful history, and the food was fantastic. Also went into Austria, to Salzberg, and saw the places where Mozart lived. Only last year I discovered that my Great-great-great grandparents on my Mother's side were married in Trier in 1832. I wonder if they stood in the same spot I did and looked up at the Black Gate. This video could have been twice as long...

The Romans even briefly held large parts of Germania until the battle in the teutoburg forest, which is one of the most important battles in European history. Because of the bad loss for the Romans they had to retreat to the left side of the Rhine, where they stayed for a long time, so the parts of Germany left of the Rhine have a long roman history. Many big cities along the Rhine like Cologne, Speyer, Koblenz, Mainz and Worms have Roman roots.

We saw the giant water wheel and that was really cool. We followed a small creek that went through town. We ate some amazing German food. We breathed the fresh mountain air. We saw the old city gates. We went to a book store. And most importantly, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. This town was amazing. Especially after about a month in berlin.

In contrast to the large metropolises, most of the over 200 small towns were not destroyed at all or only slightly during the Second World War, so you can find a lot more historical things here, that have not changed for centuries. If you're a tourist not looking for the hustle and bustle of big cities, you should definitely visit the smaller cities.

@@saba1030 yes and no, numberous German cities have a cathedral with roots in the middle ages and have a a few alley lanes with a layout based on medieval times. That doesn't make Bremen special and as an outstanding example for a medieval town. Most of Bremen's inner city doesn't show any medieval architecture (anymore). Bremen might be worth visiting, but I wouldn't sell it to a foreign tourist as a medieval town.

@@henningbartels6245 Well, as Bremen isn't a town but a city, the "Schnoor" IS the "medievil town" by the size of it. But apart from that I'll agree 😉

Interesting list. Just to note that Bamberg and Quedlinburg are probably the most authentic, as only about 10% of buildings in the former and almost nothing in the latter were bombed during the war. Trier, Erfurt and Aachen were bombed, Lubeck was nearly flattened and even 50% of Rothenburg was destroyed. Fortunately, in the case of Rothenburg, it was reconstructed very well, and the most interesting (older) part of it was not damaged.

Erfurt was not so heavily bombed as you are insisting, at least compared to other cities like Pforzheim oder Kassel.

Amazing that these towns escaped being bombed to smithereens in the war. Or if they were bombed, equally amazing that the Germans managed to reconstruct them so beautifully. Aachen, in fact, was nearly leveled after extensive aerial bombing and hand-to-hand combat on the ground that lasted 19 days. Today, Aachen, Charlemagne's capital looks almost as lovely as it must have before WW2.

Yep, Passau is also 'authentically' old as it wasn't badly bombed like other cities. Seeing the rivers merge is pretty cool too.

Trier is an amazing city, visited it a couple of years ago. Also, the entire Moselle area surrounding it is truly beautiful (hint-hint: good wine, good food). Interesting side fact: You can visit Karl Marx' birthplace in the old town of Trier, which has been converted into a veritable museum about Marx and Engels with a thoroughly curated exposition. Of high historical value, to say the least.

Every viewer of this video should know one thing. Germany has hundreds more of these beautiful cities with historic centers. However, it is not so much the big cities but rather medium-sized or small towns. These almost all have a historic city center because few of them were targets for the Allied air raids in World War II. Therefore, hundreds or even more than a thousand years of urban development remained untouched and the buildings were preserved for generations by the owners and towns. And it doesn't matter whether you are in the north, west, east or south. And depending on the region, the cities always have different character. Half-timbered alternates with natural stone or brick. I recommend visitors the various vacation roads in Germany such as the German Holiday Road, the Half-timbered Road, the Fairy Tale Road or Alley Road. Each of the places along these roads is worth a visit.
