Quedlinburg

This former imperial capital on the Romanesque Route is one of the most important historical sites in Germany. The main attraction is the town itself: with its original ground plan and more than 1,200 half-timbered buildings - seven centuries' worth - it is an exceptional example of a well-preserved medieval town.

The Museum of Half-Timbering (Fachwerkmuseum) is housed in what is surely Germany's oldest half-timbered building, dating from around 1300. The collegiate church of St. Servatius - with the tombs of the first German King, Heinrich I, and Mathilde, his queen, and also a famous church treasury - is a Romanesque masterpiece.
