Walldorf is also the birthplace of Johann Jakob Astor, the German-born American businessman whose name became linked to New York’s Astor family. Technology, open lowland and forest combine to give the town a distinctly modern regional identity.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

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.
