German national tourism administration

German architectural history can be said to be a miniature version of "European architectural history". Although some buildings were destroyed and rebuilt, the rigorous restoration by the Germans made them glow again and became an indispensable existence in the history of architecture.

Appreciating architecture means appreciating a scenic spot, and it is easy to get happiness. Among many aesthetics, the visual impact brought by architectural aesthetics is simple and direct, and a style has its own characteristics, which is unique in architectural history.

If we just say the dry word "architecture", many people will soon lose their feelings. If we mention NPC, the great names in the journey, such as Baroque Palace, Gothic Castle and Romanesque Church, it will become much more interesting.

City and architecture

Different cities have different urban characteristics, and architecture is one of them. Due to the differences in history, economy, region and culture, the buildings in German cities are also different. For example, Dresden is a baroque city built by the royal family; In Lubeck, wealthy businessmen built a large number of brick Gothic buildings; In Melsburg, people live and work in antique truss buildings.

Next, I will introduce you to these seven styles of German characteristic buildings, which are full of inspiration for you.

1 Speyer Cathedral

Although Speyer Cathedral is no longer the largest church in Europe, it is still the largest existing Roman church in the world. This magnificent three-wing vaulted cathedral showed the world a perfect design, which later had a great influence on the development of Romanesque architecture in 1 1 and 12 centuries.

The patchwork main body bears all the weight in proportion, and the four towers are symmetrically arranged, which is a model of many other important church buildings. The underground tomb, which is still well preserved, is a scenic spot that embodies the essence of the spirit of the times and the largest Romanesque colonnade in Europe.

Dom Worms of 2 Worm Cathedral

Worm Cathedral is basically the same as speyer Cathedral in terms of structure and architectural decoration style. The main difference is that there is a miracle hall at the west end of the nave in the Walms Church. Worm church is the most thorough work in German and Roman architecture, with few decorations, but its image is very powerful.

As one of the most important Romanesque churches in Germany, the cathedral itself is widely known, but what really makes it famous in Germany is the ancient stone carving of the German epic Song of Nibelungen in the 3rd century A.D./KLOC-0, which is the oldest story in German-speaking areas and has long been known as the "German Bible".

1 cologne cathedral k? lner Dom

If Germany and even the world are representatives of Gothic architecture, Cologne Cathedral will always be among them. This landmark in Cologne is the second cathedral in Germany and the third highest church in the world. It combines grandeur and exquisiteness, and is known as the most perfect example of Gothic church architecture. It is called the three major religious buildings in Europe together with Notre Dame and St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome.

Looking back at history, Cologne Cathedral, a brand-new architectural style, originated in France and was officially named "Gothic" after a long time. Notre Dame de Paris, which adopted this architectural style at that time, amazed people at that time. Cologne people are not to be outdone, and want to build a more beautiful, bigger and higher church than Notre Dame de Paris. These three standards also made Cologne Cathedral the largest building in the world at that time.

Frejborg Notre Dame Cathedral

In the center of Munster Square Market in Frejborg, there is Notre Dame de Frejborg. This cathedral is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and an important cultural relic by art historians all over the world. 116m-high sandstone tower with exquisite workmanship and charming design.

Beauty is not only the appearance, but also the crossed vault and light structure when you walk inside. You can feel the beauty beyond the world at first sight. On the front of the church, there are also sculptures of biblical figures and exquisite stained glass, which is known as the "Bible without words". Let me tell you a little secret. There are some special elements on stained glass, which means that an industry has invested in the construction of this church. For example, seeing the scissors element means that the tailor's chamber of commerce has funded it.
