Question

What do you think is the most beautiful city in Germany?

Answer 1

Cologne!  My home town has The Dom, the Rhine River, the Roman battlements, great street artists, lots of old quirky buildings.

Answer 2

There are a lot. Especially Münster. Was elected 3 years ago to the most liveable city world-wide!

Its a really "green" city, with a lot of nice old buildings, a lake, a lot of bars and much more.

"Münster has been able to call itself the city with the highest quality of life in the world since October 2004. The metropolis in Westphalia is the first German city to have won the Gold LivCom Award in Niagara/Canada and came first in the category of cities with 200,000 to 750,000 inhabitants. Münster was thus able to beat cities such as Seattle/USA, Okayama/Japan, Changshu/China, Posen/Poland and Coventry/Great Britain in its premiere in this international cities’ competition.

More than 450 towns and cities from throughout the world had taken part in this competition in 2004, which is officially called the "International Awards for Liveable Communities". 53 were nominated by the event organisers – the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Federation of Park and Recreation Administration to take part in the final.

Above all the sustained planning and the interdepartmental work carried out convinced the international jury. "

Answer 3

Munich (Munchen), but I did not see them all.

Answer 4

Munich definately. With it's parks, shopping streets and the italian flair.

Answer 5

Quedlinburg definitely. Dresden has more and better art though and its baroque buildings make it a close second to me.

Answer 6

Can I pick three?

Heidelberg - gorgeous city with castle ruins on a hillside

Munich - classic Bavarian architecture and beautiful green spaces

Frankfurt - for the duality and contrast between ultra-modern Germany and  the old world Germany of the past.

Answer 7

Hamburg has a special charm. I especially love to take walks along the Alster river and the old posh villas sorrounding it.

Answer 8

Berlin. cuz it has so much to offer.

Answer 9

Germany has many nice places.

I prefer that town of Fulda.

Look here: www.Fulda.de

Not far from Frankfurt by Train or car, old city with a town castle and a cathredal (Dom) the 2nd oldest church in Germany (Michaelskirche) and a beautiful "OldTown". Good restaurants to reasonable prices and a wonderful surrounding area. Have fun!

Answer 10

Gotta say "Duesseldorf"! (Although all people from Cologne will probably disagree)

Answer 11

Munich is really nice

Answer 12

Munich is very beautiful and not as noisy as other big cities...

Answer 13

Heidelberg

why??? it's a quaint city on a river with beautiful architecture and great shopping. also it has many green areas by the university and the old bridge will take your breath away

Answer 14

I agree with Altstadtweib.....

Duesseldorf is very cool. I live close by in the town of Essen, but Duesseldorf has the special something.

While in Duesseldorf you can do so much in the surrounding area too.

Answer 15

Heidelberg. Hands down. Gets my vote.

Answer 16

Kyllburg.de

Answer 17

Bamberg. It is small, quaint, lots to do, beautiful buildings, wonderful rose garden, downtown with the Rasthaus spanning the bridges beautiful. Beautiful churches...

Answer 18

Duesseldorf, my hometown.....

It's also the fashion city of Germany, it has the longest shopping mile with the most exclusive shops "The Koe" and of course it has the wonderful "Altstadt" where there is great nightlife.

Its located by the river Rhein....

Look at these websites:

Answer 19

Berlin.... all day, every day.....

Answer 20

Munich, I love the blend of history and modernization.  But, I have never been to Berlin and I am told the same is true.  However, Munich is so close to the Alps and I love the alps and all that nature stuff.

Answer 21

my hometown Trier =]

Answer 22

I agree with Bamberg, Heidelber & Hamburg. But nobody mentionend Freiburg!

So I'll give my vote to the beautiful town of Freiburg, Breisgau.

Answer 23

Tough one. Munich has Bavarian charm, is almost pristine with the mountainous backdrop. Hamburg is by contrast a nice northern city, along the water, its architecture a contrast to the more conservative south. But the winner still is...

Berlin!

Why? Anybody who has seen Berlin when it was merely West and East Berlin will recall that West Berlin even before the wall came down at a certain charm, despite its sequestered state in the middle of the former East Germany. Now that both Berlins have merged, you have a city in perfect harmony, where the old east meets the new west, where modernism meets tradition. For every new parliament building there is an old city opera house or a Gedaechtniskirche to remind people what made this city so special to begin with. There will be the glitter of the new Railway station as opposed to the old university and library buildings. There are the monuments of the Berlin Wall and the old Olympic Stadium on one side, the old statues of Marx and Engels on the other. Call it almost schizophrenic! Berlin is easily one of the greenest cities you will find anywhere. Lakes, parks... it's hard to know where they end at times. The new Berlin is not only unique to Germany but to all of Europe.

Answer 24

my hometown bamberg.

now that i  moved to the usa i really miss bamberg alot. cant wait to go home for christmas.its so nice ther.the altstadt is very pretty and i love sitting in all those small coffee places downtown.

Answer 25

I have trouble narrowing it down to 1.

Bamberg and Heidelberg are 2 very nice cities.  Bamberg is more quiant and has a smaller feel to it than Heidelberg.  Rothenburg is absolutely cool and has a total medieval flair to it.  Yes it's touristy but it's very pretty.  

Berchtesgaden is in the Alps and has some stunning views and is a wonderful town to wander around in.

Those are my votes.

Answer 26

Bamberg, Heidelberg, Munich and Dresden are definately beautiful!

Answer 27

Trier!

And Dresden :)
