Hi, most Americans and many Brits know, of course, Germany.
But most certainly be stronger for large cities such as Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg.
Logically also Bavaria, with the castles of the fairy tale king (Ludwig II King of Bavaria) come to mind.
Or where American military bases in the area, such as Ramstein, Schweinfurt, Kaiserslautern and clear Heidelberg.
But there is also a completely different area, the Northwest. Between the rivers Ems and Weser, the former Weser-Ems district stretches.
With beautiful landscapes, moors, the circles Osnabrück, Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, who Bentheim, Cloppenburg and many others.
Not to be forgotten is Ostfriesland.
So I made myself a couple of times and thoughts have come out with slides shows to bring you all over the world, my home closer.
And who knows, perhaps it may be that you come to visit times yes.
Until then, have fun with the slideshow.
The first place, not surprisingly is my home town Lingen (Ems).
