Germany is a unique combination of many cultures, traditions, rituals, customs, which is manifested in architecture, design, fashion, etiquette, and ways of celebrating holidays. Everyone gets to know German culture for the first time in different ways. Someone studies classical German philosophy, someone listens to the original and unique music of German composers and modern bands, someone attends Christmas fairs and Oktoberfest.

Germany is known as "das Land der Dichter und Denker" (the land of poets and thinkers). Goethe, Schiller, Heine. Poets in Jena and further in Berlin led the way in Romanticism in the 19th century.
German literature was formed in the Middle Ages. The most prominent representatives of that era were "Walter von der Vogelweide and Wolfram von Eschenbach". The work of an unknown author, The Song of the Nibelungs, also made an important contribution to German literature.

German music is the achievement of the musical culture of the German people.
German classical music is one of the most performed in the world; among German composers are some of the most accomplished and popular in history, among them Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Carl Maria von Weber, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss were among the composers who created the field of German Opera

German architecture has a long, rich and diverse history. The centuries-old fragmentation of Germany into principalities and kingdoms led to a wide variety of trends in architecture and favored the development of national architecture. The construction of German cities was carried out in diverse and diverse architectural styles. Many of the architectural monuments were lost during the Second World War. Post-war construction was carried out in the Art Nouveau style.

Germany is rich in its sights. For example, the magnificent Gothic cathedral has been towering over Cologne for several centuries and is visible from almost anywhere in the city. It is called the longest long-term construction in Germany. Construction of the church began in 1248, but work soon stopped due to lack of funds. And in the next 300 years, the unfinished cathedral, along with a wooden crane, became the "calling card" of the city.

Also a Walhalla attraction in Regensburg. According to Scandinavian mythology, Valhalla is a heavenly palace where heroically fallen warriors fall after death. The Hall of Fame of German Figures near the city of Regensburg appeared on the initiative of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The memorial was conceived as a monument to outstanding representatives of the German people over the past 1800 years.
