Schloss Benrath

Large green area and pink rococo palace. When we are there at least 3 wedding photos work was there. The large landscape and well maintained trees and flowers creates a good scene for photos and also the historic building, artificial water and sculptures keeps the feeling of place garden.

Cologne Cathedral

凤wfy

The cathedral of Cologne, Germany, this Gothic architectural wonder on the banks of the Rhine, is undoubtedly a must-visit for my European travels. Here is my true evaluation of the cathedral of Cologne: the beauty of the building, the unparalleled cathedral of Cologne, the full name "Chaggart Peter Maria Cathedral", built in 1248, after more than 600 years of storms and wars, until 1880 to be completed. This church is not only the largest church in Germany, but also the largest in northern Europe, and is the most perfect example of Gothic architecture. Its magnificent twin tower facades, towering spires, flying walls and exquisite carvings all show the Gothic architecture's excellence in detail and the infinite pursuit of divinity. The charm of art is intoxicating to enter the Cologne Cathedral as if entering a sacred space where light and shadow are intertwined. There are 10 chapels in the church, all made of polished stone, and stained glass windows with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters above the walls. The windows are painted with biblical characters and stories, and are colorful and intoxicating under the reflection of the sun. In addition, there are many precious artworks in the church, such as the San Saint King's Holy Temple, the sculpture of the cross, etc., each of which is a gem of medieval art. The historical mark of the cathedral of sangcologne is not only an architectural miracle, but also a living history book. It witness the changing history of germany and europe, and the church stood firm from the religious wars of the medieval times to the artillery baptism of the second world war. Especially during World War II, the city of Cologne was bombed on a large scale, but the main structure of the church was miraculously preserved and became a symbol of hope for the Cologne people in the war. The fun of tourism, not to be missed as a tourist, come to Cologne Cathedral, not only to enjoy its magnificent architecture and rich art collection, but also to participate in various religious and cultural activities. For example, the annual Christmas concert of the Voice of Cologne Cathedral is an audiovisual feast that attracts thousands of visitors. Additionally, visitors can choose to climb to the top of the church's twin towers overlooking the Rhine and the beautiful scenery of Cologne city. The Cologne Cathedral is a magnificent, delicate, artistic and historical architectural miracle. It is not only a representative work of Gothic architecture, but also a symbol of German religious, ethnic and artistic unity. It would be a shame to come to Cologne and miss this cathedral. I highly recommend that every friend who loves travel, architecture, and art come and experience the charm of this church firsthand.

Westfalen Stadion

suifeng2019

This is the home stadium of Dortmund, known as the most evil home stadium in Europe. Dortmund is a magical team, it does not have too many championship titles, no big-name stars, no large investments from wealthy consortiums, but this team with a relatively young average age still has a large number of loyal fans.

Beethoven House

小思文

Beethoven's former residence is a three-story villa-style house. The structure inside and outside the former residence is retained. You can see Beethoven's piano. There are some living supplies in the house. The backyard is a small garden, which is quite suitable for creating an environment. [View] Beethoven's place of life [Fun] Fun is just fine
