Culture trip through Germany: enchant theater, art and wine!

Gotha, Deutschland - The journey of a group of former and old mayors recently led them to the charming cities of Bad Hersfeld, Kassel and Gotha. This cultural excursion was not only an opportunity to collect new impressions, but also an exciting exchange about history and traditions.

The first stop was in Bad Hersfeld, which is known for its impressive monastery ruins and the annual festival. The game "Midsummer Night's Dreams" by William Shakespeare was on the game plan. The modern staging and the magical stage design captivated the visitors and offered a wonderful start to the trip.

The next stage led to the famous Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel , a truly unique UNESCO-WELTERBE. Here they met the impressive Hercules statue as well as fascinating water systems, which Landgraf Carl created in 1689. These monumental water structures, including the Grand Fountain - once the highest geyser in the world - impressively illustrate the championship of man about nature.

Especially the other water features such as the Octagon, the Vexing Grotto and the Baroque Cascade left a lasting impression. The entire facility was designed in accordance with the environment and below was also managed by a steering committee that takes care of protection and preservation.

A look at Gotha

After the inspiring experiences in Kassel, we went on to Gotha, where the group of Mayor Knut Kreuch was welcomed in the town hall. A liberal and warm welcome awaited you, accompanied by information about the urban developments and the important role of Ernst the Pious, the Duke of Saxony-Gotha, as a reformer and "progenitor of European monarchies".

Gotha also impressed by the baroque castle of Friedenstein, one of the oldest castle buildings in Germany. The castle houses the oldest surviving theater as well as important collections that brought visitors closer to the rich history of the region.

commonality through history and culture

As was deservedly determined, the journey united everything the participants appreciated: history, theater, art and the feeling of community. The crowning glory found the journey in a cozy hedge industry, where hearty food and good wine were waiting for those present. This offered the perfect opportunity to review what you have experienced in a convivial atmosphere.

Germany has a variety of UNESCO World Heritals that reflect the country's cultural heritage. With a total of 54 sites, including historical cities, churches and castles, the cultural diversity, as they also show the impressive water systems in Kassel, is an essential part of German identity.

The trip was not only a feast for the eyes, but also a great opportunity to deal with the rich culture and history of the German countries. Who would have thought that old traditions and modern interpretations come together so harmoniously?
