Let’s not talk about about the most beautiful and ancient places of interest located in the country with rich culture – Germany – it is obviously much more interesting to have a look at the sights and famous places than to talk about mechanical press.

The arts and culture of Germany absorbed the ancient Jewish and Christian heritage.

The historical development of Europe played a specific role, but in modern times – the U.S. culture, as well as Asian and African cultures.

Middle High epis “The Song of the Nibelungs” – is a typical German product, as well as the classic tragedy by Friedrich Schiller. Reading of ancient Persian poetry inspired Goethe to the creation of “West-Eastern Divan”.

After the Romanesque style in architecture of Germany, French Gothic style came here.

In olden times the mutual influence of cultures of European countries was extremely strong.

The West art of the postwar period was marked by thirst for the experiment and absorbed fruitful impulses of other cultures.

There is strong influence of Italy and Nordic countries in modern architecture and design of consumer goods.

In cafe not only coffee or tea are served, but also espresso, cappuccino or coffee with milk, and as a side dish you can order not only potatoes, but the French and Turkish bread or pita.

Travel “European route of brick Gothic” – the youngest in the north of Germany – was opened in June 2004.

2500 km link multifaceted history of seven countries on the Baltic coast.

The route begins in Sweden and passes through Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Each of these countries presents to the guests the route with historical and cultural features of their cities and show amazing architectural monuments in the style of the brick Gothic.

Each of the bricks was made and installed in its place by hand, and the history of each building is unique.

The distinguishing characteristic of the brick Gothic architecture is richly decorated facades and magnificent towers.

Many of the buildings have retained their original purpose, while others became the museums or concert halls.

Brick Gothic style in many countries is inextricably linked with the era of heyday of the Hanseatic League.

Over 300 years of union had determined the terms of trade and life on the Baltic Sea and in the Middle Ages played the leading role in the economy of Europe.

Evidence of wealth and power of this era have survived to the present day: ancient monasteries and the town halls, the powerful city gates and ramparts, majestic churches and cathedrals.

These architectural monuments have become the symbols of sacred and secular power of the Middle Ages, and the brick is now a typical appearance of cities on the Baltic Sea.
