Quedlinburg

With more than 1300 half-timbered structures from eight centuries in one historical town the former imperial residence was elected World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO as an exceptionally well-preserved example for a mediaeval town. The early Franconian kings made Quedlinburg a booming centre of European politics, education and culture. Besides the Romanic master construction of St. Servatius and the half-timber Museum the Lyonel Feiniger Gallery with the greatest Feininger collection in Europe is really worth seeing.
