Dachau: Stadtverwaltung Dachau

Dachau lies along the Amper River in Upper Bavaria, where the river plain meets the gently rising Dachau uplands. The old town is crowned by Dachau Palace, a former ducal residence whose terrace looks across the Munich plain toward the Alps on clear days. The town is internationally associated with the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, on the grounds of the Nazi camp established in 1933; it preserves the site as a place of remembrance and education. Dachau also has a long connection with landscape painting, as artists of the Dachau Colony worked here from the late 19th century.

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.
