Weltkulturerbe Deutschland

Architectural monuments, urban ensembles and extraordinary natural landscapes are placed under special international protection by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. The trip to the UNESCO World Monuments is an unforgettable experience and a journey into our history. The Romanesque imperial cathedral in Speyer was founded in 1027 and was supposed to be the largest church in the West. Today it is the largest surviving Romanesque church in the world. The Margravial Opera House Bayreuth is one of the most beautiful baroque theatres in Europe. The Wartburg is closely linked to German history. Whether by Martin Luther, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or the Wartburg Festivals. The Zollverein colliery in Essen was in operation as a coal mine from 1847 to 1986 and was once considered one of the most modern hard coal mines. Today it is an architectural world heritage and industrial monument. And last but not least, the former Cistercian abbey of Maulbronn. Founded in 1138, the monument is considered the best-preserved medieval monastery complex north of the Alps.
