Tettau: Bayern, Deutschland - Kirche Ad Portam Coeli
Tettau lies in the valley of the Tettau River, amid the wooded hills of the Franconian Forest near Bavaria’s border with Thuringia. This small Upper Franconian community has long been shaped by glassmaking: the Tettau glassworks was founded in 1734, and Porzellanfabrik Tettau began production in 1794. Manufacturing remains part of the local identity, alongside compact residential streets, open valley meadows and surrounding woodland. The parish church forms a focal point in the settlement, while the land beyond rises into the rolling uplands of the Franconian Forest. Tettau reflects the close relationship between forest resources, skilled craft production and rural life in northern Bavaria.

Tettau combines a long manufacturing tradition with a forest-bound upland setting in a way that reflects its position in the Franconian Forest, close to Bavaria’s border with Thuringia. Part of the Kronach district in Upper Franconia, the municipality belongs to a landscape of wooded ridges and scattered settlements rather than the large urban centres of northern Bavaria. Porcelain is central to its identity: the Tettau porcelain manufactory was founded in 1794, continuing a craft associated with the town for generations. The surrounding Franconian Forest is also a recognised hiking region, with routes linking villages and woodland.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
