About location

The landscape around Marktredwitz is a wooded, gently rolling upland on the southeastern edge of the Fichtel Mountains, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The town stands in the valley of the Kössein, amid the transition between northern Bavaria and the Czech borderlands. Its compact centre is formed by closely spaced townhouses, shops and civic buildings rather than grand avenues. St. Bartholomäus parish church is a prominent part of this historic streetscape. Marktredwitz is also associated with the industrial development of northeastern Bavaria, particularly porcelain production. The Egerland Cultural Centre maintains links with the traditions of the neighbouring Egerland region, giving the town a cultural connection that reaches across today’s German–Czech frontier.

Bavaria
Region Bavaria

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.

Country Germany

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.
