Reise durch Würzburg

"Würzburg lies at the very bottom, on a bend of the Main, surrounded by barren heights (.) that shimmer green from nothing but the short vine. (.) And when you walk through the streets, you think you are walking through Christian heaven." This is how Heinrich Kleist described the city during his stay in the autumn of 1800, and its beautiful location has not changed to this day: Situated on the banks of the gently gliding Main, surrounded by the vineyards of the Marienberg and the Würzburger Stein, crowned by the fortress and numerous church towers.Despite the terrible destruction of the Second World War, numerous world-class monuments of art and culture, such as the Residenz or the Marienberg Fortress, have been preserved or rebuilt in the episcopal city. The combination of new and old architecture, of Romanesque and Baroque churches and modern buildings, of old traditions and new trends is what makes Würzburg so special. 220 pictures show Würzburg in all its facets. Four specials report on the unique architectural monument of the Residenz, on the sculptor and citizen Tilman Riemenschneider, the festivals and festivals of the Main metropolis and the Franconian delicacies that can be enjoyed here.REISE DURCH ... is a series of illustrated books professionally photographed by renowned travel photographers - - - Up to 230 pictures on 128 to 140 pages - - - Sensationally low price - - - All important sights - - - Culture and traditions - - - Knowledgeable texts - - - Detailed captions - - - Colour overview map - - - Detailed index - - -.
