UNESCO World Heritage – the greatest legacies of mankind and Mother Nature.

Only the finest monuments to human and natural activity have the honour of bearing the UNESCO World Heritage title. And Germany is home to some of the finest of these.

Some 2000 years of history have left lasting traces in Germany – silent yet eloquent witnesses to mankind's achievements and the wonders of nature. There are no fewer than 37 places in Germany on the UNESCO World Heritage list. They range from historical buildings and cathedrals of industry to exceptional natural landscapes and even whole towns. Because every visit to a UNESCO World Heritage site is a journey back in time to a shared cultural history.

Discover the lure of the finest historical sites, and go in search of mankind's heritage. In Germany, you'll find what you're looking for 37 times over.
