Travel Today with me: Germany Part 1

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Dear Steemit friends:

Today I want to show you my personal photos of my trip to Germany. They are a bit old, but the landscapes are beautiful as well as the great experience of getting to know this great country.

From Berlin, Bonn, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Hamburg, Essen, to bremen

A small photo tour for a great country.
Enjoy it...

The first thing you see when you arrive in Germany are cars, the most modern, in any corner. For example this f1 car at the airport.

Berlin Victory Column.

The Victory Column is a major tourist attraction in the city of Berlin. Its viewing platform, for which a ticket is required, offers a view over Berlin.

Church of St. Thomas (Leipzig)

The composer Johann Sebastian Bach was director of the choir of the church of Santo Tomás from 1723 until his death in 1750. In 1908 a statue was erected next to the church dedicated to the composer.

Another remarkable feature of this church is that it has two organs. The oldest of these is a romantic organ built by Wilhelm Sauer between 1885 and 1889, installed in the western gallery. Originally, the romantic instrument had 63 records; in 1908, they were increased to 88. As this organ was considered "unfit" to interpret Bach's music, a second, built by the company of Gerald Woehl between 1999-2000, was built. This "Bach organ", which was placed in the North stand, has 61 records in four manual keyboards and a pedal. The design of his box was inspired by that of the destroyed church of St. Paul (Paulinerkirche) of the University, in which Bach himself had played.

As a fan of classical music, especially Baroque music, the experience of standing in front of the tomb of Bach, whose poor bones had so many comings and goings, generates an emotion only comparable with the visit to the house of Beethoven in Bonn, or Mozart in Salzburg. The church, whose origins date back to the 13th century, was partially rebuilt because it was bombed in World War II.

And finally in this first part, the cathedral Hofkirche or cathedral of the Holy Trinity is a cathedral of catholic cult, located in the old town (Altstadt) of Dresden.

I hope you enjoyed this first adventure, remembering places I visited years ago. I have many photos and places to show you, that little by little I will show you.

Steemkisses for all.....
