Illertissen
Few towns in Bavarian Swabia have a history as closely tied to a Premonstratensian abbey as Illertissen. The settlement developed beside the Iller, a river that runs north through southern Germany toward the Danube. Its former monastery complex, including St Martin’s Church, remains a defining landmark and recalls the religious institution that shaped local life for centuries. Illertissen is now a Swabian town between Ulm and Memmingen, combining a compact centre with farmland across the broad Iller valley floor. Flugplatz Illertissen adds a local aviation presence on the outskirts, where open fields and a low horizon emphasise the rural character of the surrounding area. The Vöhlinschloss is another part of the town’s historic fabric.

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.
