Landshut: Grieserwiese
Tucked along the Isar in Lower Bavaria, Landshut is a place whose character is shaped by the river valley and a remarkably intact Gothic old town. Its broad Altstadt and Neustadt streets lead toward St. Martin’s Church, whose 130.6-metre tower is the world’s tallest brick church tower. Above the centre stands Trausnitz Castle, the former seat of the Wittelsbach dukes and a defining landmark of the city. Landshut’s medieval prosperity grew from its position on trading routes between Munich, Regensburg and the Danube region. Every four years, the Landshut Wedding pageant recalls the 1475 marriage of Duke George of Bavaria-Landshut and Hedwig Jagiellon with late-medieval costumes, music and tournaments.

Trausnitz Castle rises above the old town, while St Martin’s Church is distinguished by its 130.6-metre brick tower, among the tallest of its kind in the world. Landshut’s broad Gothic streets and gabled houses preserve the character of a prosperous late-medieval centre. Every four years, the Landshut Wedding festival recalls the 1475 marriage of Duke George of Bavaria and Hedwig Jagiellon.

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.
