Thank you for this interesting overview of the UNESCO Heritage sites in Germany. I'm still coming to terms with Cologne cathedral taking over 600 years to complete!

Brilliant page! What a great idea to present Germany's UNESCO World Heritage sites! I have visited 21 out of the 30 German UNESCO sites so far.

Great page of all those wonderful sites, Christine. Some I know very well, but also many, I don't know at all. Time for a visit some day.
