I visited this quaintest of quaint German towns during my train travels of East Germany. With over 1,600 half timbered houses and a castle, this little town is the epitome of a German picture postcard - but strangely, I wasn't compelled to buy any while I was here. This Medieval town is reputed to be the Oldest German town with the smallest house in Germany (though I didn't see it, they all looked pretty small!). The first German King, Duke Henry the Fowler was crowned here in 919AD It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. For more fascinating info check this website: Quedlinburg |

That's my favorite town in the Harz Mountains - great architecture, stunning history but absolutely no nightlife! -- Very helpful tip on parking - I experienced the same - there is a no-parking zone sign when entering the town | Ekaterinburg Fri Jan 26, 2007 14:16 UTC
I was delighted to read this page because when I visited Q a few years ago, I forgot my camera. As it was Sat afternoon and al the shops closed, I couldn't even buy a postcard. Your photos are really beautiful :) | matcrazy1 Tue Oct 24, 2006 21:36 UTC
I've never heard that strange name but now I have to find it on the map to visit it in future, thanks for sharing. Well, very elegant letter-ticket from local police, hopefully not very expensive. |
