Relics from past art shows are found everywhere and continue to enrich the city landscape till today. The city offers a number of other attractions too. Kassel's state orchestra, with its 500-year-old history, is one of the world's oldest musical ensembles. The Ottoneum, Germany's first permanent theater building, is today a natural history museum with a library of trees. And the Fridericianum is Europe's oldest public museum. Kassel is also home to Germany's oldest pedestrian zone, the Treppenstrasse. The Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is also a unique park landscape.

| 4 | CleanVideoLake Constance - a voyage of discovery | Sailing, swimming and cycling while admiring the Alps in the distance, or checking out the historic locations along the water’s edge: Lake Constance, straddling the border between Germany, Austria and Switzerland, has it all. It has great appeal to both culture vultures and those looking for some rest and rejuvenation. Constance is great for history buffs. It’s the largest city by the lake of the same name, and is famous for hosting the religious council convened in the 15th century to end the papal schism. You can see the very sites where the new pope was elected. Then there are the Romanesque churches on Reichenau Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature lovers will also enjoy the island of Mainau, whose parks and gardens boast over a million flowers in the summer. It’s also home to a palace that is still inhabited. Those who want a bit more action can go cycling or sailing. The town of Wasserburg has a rather special boat to rent: the steamship Felicitas. And once you’re on this picturesque peninsula, it’s well worth visiting sights such as the former court building with its gruesome history.

Cologne Cathedral is considered a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and has a place on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage list. The interior boasts works of art covering ten centuries, with the highlight being the golden shrine to the biblical Three Magi. The city is also home to a dozen Romanesque churches that testify to the splendor and significance of Cologne in the Middle Ages. And the ruins of another church provided the foundations for Kolumba, the art museum of the Archdiocese of Cologne. The new building was designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and includes exhibits from two millennia of Western culture. Colognerivals Berlin as one of the most tolerant and welcoming cities in Germany for gays and lesbians.

| 10 | CleanVideoLeipzig - City of Music and the Arts | Located in the German state of Saxony, the city of Leipzig has almost half a million inhabitants and a multifaceted past and present. Renowned composers Felix Mendelssohn and Johann Sebastian Bach both left their influence on a city also known for the visual arts. Leipzig-born painter Neo Rauch counts as one of contemporary art's most successful figures. One of Leipzig's newest attractions is Gondwanaland in Leipzig Zoo. Named after the prehistoric supercontinent Gondwana, it takes visitors on a journey through natural history in Europe's biggest tropical biosphere.

| 15 | CleanVideoFrankfurt and the Taunus - Germany's Finance Capital and the Surrounding Landscape | Frankfurt is the first port of call for many visitors to Germany - thanks largely to its airport, a major hub. But the city is certainly worth exploring in its own right, for its architecture, history and renowned museums. Frankfurt is the biggest financial center in Germany, so we also take in a tour of the banking district with its prominent skyscrapers. We also examine the history of the city, visiting the famous medieval Römer building (the original town hall) as well as the cathedral, where the Holy Roman Emperor was crowned for more than 200 years. There’s history and culture at every corner you turn in Frankfurt. It has an extremely high concentration of museums, among them the famous Städel Museum with its underground extension opened at the start of 2012. For a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of the city, try a trip to the Taunus region northwest of Frankfurt. The low mountains and forests are ideal for hikers and mountain-bikers alike.

| 20 | CleanVideoWeimar - A city of contrasts | Weimar is the former residential seat of the dukes of Saxe-Weimar, and owes its international reputation as home to poets and philosophers primarily to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller. Every year, 3.5 million tourists retrace their steps through this city in the state of Thüringen. There's no other place that offers such an authentic impression of how Goethe and Schiller once lived. Thanks to Goethe's friendship with Grand Duke Charles Augustus, Weimar blossomed into a center of the arts and literature. Even today, the Duchess Anna Amalia Library, where Goethe himself was once a patron and director, reminds us of this legacy. Friedrich Schiller also helped put Weimar on the cultural map with his many works that testified to his passion for education, equality and liberty. But 140 years after this cultural flowering, Weimar also became associated with the savagery of the Nazi era when Buchenwald, one of the largest concentration camps on German soil, was built nearby. Today, Buchenwald is a memorial to its victims. Weimar was also the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement, whose spirit has been revived in a district where the experimental Haus am Horn was built in 1923. And in the park on the River Ilm, visitors can enjoy the landscape that inspired Goethe whenever he looked out on it from the window of his garden house. | 7.4.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

| 25 | CleanVideoEisenhüttenstadt - Architecture and Industrial Culture | Hollywood star Tom Hanks recently appeared on the David Letterman show and spoke about the charms of a small German town called Eisenhüttenstadt. Located near the Polish border, its architecture and history make it worth a visit. When it was established in 1950, Eisenhüttenstadt was touted as the first socialist city on German soil. The steelworks are the heart of the town. Known as EKO in the former communist East Germany, today they are owned by ArcelorMittal, a global steel company. The factory is open for guided tours. Lindenallee, formerly Leninallee, is the road leading into the city. It features 1950s apartment blocks, built in the Stalinist neoclassical style. The architecture forms the most spacious monument in Germany—a monument to the model socialist city. The city museum gives an insight into how it all came about. Elsewhere, the Documentation Center of Everyday Life in the GDR aims to give visitors an understanding of life in communist East Germany. | 24.3.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
| 26 | CleanVideoErfurt - Of Merchants, Churches and Treasures | Krämer bridge in Erfurt is one of the city's most treasured landmarks. It used to be part of the Via Regia, a medieval trade route between western and eastern parts of the Holy Roman Empire, and symbolizes the city's rise to become an important point of transshipment in the Middle Ages. The half-timbered houses that dot the historical district are a reminder of the city’s former wealth. Europe’s oldest preserved synagogue is testimony to the fact that there was once a thriving Jewish community here. It’s been standing for over 900 years. Since the Jewish community was wiped out in the pogrom of 1349, the building has served as a warehouse, a tavern and a dance hall. In 2009 it was re-opened as a museum of Jewish culture and history in the city. Along with Heidelberg and Cologne, Erfurt is home to one of Germany’s oldest universities. Martin Luther lived and studied in the Georgenburse, a renaissance building that served as accommodation for students, before devoting his life to religion. He joined an Augustinian friary in Erfurt in 1505. Erfurt is known as the Rome of Thüringen, thanks to its many churches. Erfurt Cathedral and the church of St. Severus are two that are well worth seeing. | 17.3.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

| 30 | CleanVideoLübeck - Queen of the Hanseatic League | Lübeck became known the world over because of a novel, Buddenbrooks, by Nobel literature laureate Thomas Mann. But the city has much older links with the Hanseatic League, a medieval mercantile association under which maritime trade in northern Europe flourished. And Lübeck marzipan also should never be forgotten on any trip to the Hanseatic city, parts of which are a UNESCO world heritage site. Lübeck’s success started with its port, Travemünde, on the Baltic Sea. The city itself lies 18 kilometres inland. The link to the sea is the Trave River, whose waters surround the old town centre, turning it into an island. The best view is from the tower of St Peter’s Church, one of the seven churches whose spires rise up to shape the city's distinctive skyline. The historical heart of Lübeck, with more than 1000 buildings and narrow lanes, has remained nearly unchanged since the Middle Ages. The landmark most closely identified with the city is the Holsten Gate, built with the red brick typical of the region. Three Nobel Laureates made Lübeck their home: Thomas Mann, Willy Brandt and Günter Grass. Each has a museum devoted to him. Lübeck is also known for its marzipan, and you can find out all about the speciality at the Niederegger company’s marzipan salon, while you snack to your heart’s content. | 10.3.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

| 34 | CleanVideoGoslar - Summer residence of the German emperors | Goslar lies right in the middle of the Harz region. It has a population of about 42 thousand, but lots of visitors, some five million tourists annually. People come to admire the medieval Old Town and the nearby Rammelsberg mine. Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites. For a long time during the Middle Ages, Goslar was an imperial palatinate where the Holy Roman Emperors held their court councils. The old town center has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1992. Two thirds of its buildings are historically listed. Their elaborate ornamentation testifies to the status and wealth of their former owners. The Old Town still has about 1500 half-timbered buildings crowded into an area a mere square kilometer in size. The town owes its rise and wealth to a rich vein of metallic ore discovered on Rammelsberg mountain, about two kilometers away. The mine was decommissioned in 1988. Now it's a museum and also a World Heritage site. In the permanent exhibition there's a sculpture by the American artist John Chamberlain. It depicts a horse whose hooves, legend has it, laid bare the mountain's vein of ore when he pawed the ground waiting for his master, a knight called Ramm. The mountain was named Rammelsberg in the knight's honor. Goslar also has a soft spot for modern art. The Mönchehaus Museum houses works by Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys and Max Ernst. It also displays works by the winners of Goslar's Kaiser Ring Award, presented annually to deserving artists. | 25.2.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Known as a region for nature lovers and hiking fans, the area also has much to offer and discover during winters. Our trip begins on the Grosser Arber. At almost 1500 meters above sea level, it's the Bavarian Forest's highest peak. Want snow? The Grosser Arber is one of the most likely places in Germany to have it. The mountain also hosts the region's biggest ski areas. The Grosser Arber's seven downhill runs offer winter thrills for even experienced skiiers. The Bavarian Forest is also a glassmaking region. That's apparent in the town of Zwiesel's main landmark: an eight-meter-high pyramid of glass. 93,665 wine glasses constitute this tallest crystal glass pyramid in the world. More on the craft can be found in the crystal manufacture in Theresienthal. The former purveyor to Europe's royal courts still offers highest-quality souvenirs. On another mountain, the Lusen in the Bavarian Forest National Park, you can observe nature, for example taking a guided tour to get up close to a lynx or bear. Or head up into the trees to stroll the capnopy walkway. At 1.3 kilometers it's the world's longest.

| 42 | CleanVideoBach's Heritage - a Visit to Eisenach, Köthen Castle and Leipzig | Johann Sebastian Bach wrote musical history and continues to delight people today. Worldwide, the composer is also among one of the best known Germans. Many tourists to Germany have locations connected to him high up on their itinerary. We look at three of them: Eisenach, Köthen and Leipzig. Johann Sebastian Bach was born the youngest son of a musical family in Eisenach in 1685. The old town there still has many reminders of his childhood – such as St. George’s Church, where Bach was baptized. There’s also the Bach Museum with its depiction of the life of the city’s greatest son. Bach was appointed the Court Director of Music by Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen in 1717. The job made the composer head of an outstanding orchestra. The Bach exhibition in Köthen provides a comprehensive look at the years in which he focussed on secular music. But it was in Leipzig that Bach reached his creative pinnacle, writing hundreds of cantatas, choral works, oratories and passions. A major magnet for Bach tourists is the Bach Museum, which boasts a range of original manuscripts, and St. Thomas’ Church (where Bach was cantor and is also buried). | 4.2.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Here the snow adds a dash of beauty and provides winter sports fans with the vital ingredient for a perfect vacation.Reit im Winkel is one German winter sports destination where snow is virtually guaranteed.

This scenic region in the southwest of Germany is steeped in charm - no wonder it's a popular holiday destination.In 868, the region was known as "Svarzwald" and was relatively unchartered territory.

The town's most famous resident was the composer Richard Strauss, who memorialized the area musically in his tone poem, An Alpine Symphony. His villa is now a museum. The steep precipices of the Zugspitze were long considered unclimbable. Not until 1820 did a mountaineer, Joseph Naus, manage to reach its summit. Nowadays you can reach the summit in a mere ten minutes on the Eibsee Cable Car. The view from the plateau at the summit is overwhelming. The panorama stretches over the Bavarian Alps and the mountains of Austria and Switzerland all the way to Italy. | 31.12.11 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

The landmark was the first German memorial to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors to the cathedral can also see the Emperor's burial place and his grand throne. But Aachen is also known for other local sights and specialties, like its hot springs and "Printen" cookies, which are popular at Christmas time. For visitors who want to move beyond Aachen's time-tested traditions, there's also the Ludwig Forum, where an exhibition of avant-garde art titled "Nie wieder störungsfrei!" is on display through February. | 24.12.11 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

Children can also mix their own cookie dough. And the traditional Striezelmarkt wares are also here-the pyramids, incense figurines, and nutcrackers local to the region.

| 74 | CleanVideoLuther’s Cities – from Wittenberg to Eisenach | On 31 October 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. It marked the beginning of the Reformation which was to change the face of Germany and Europe. Even today there are many reminders of the life and work of Martin Luther. Wittenberg is considered the epicenter of the Reformation. Castle Church is here with its famous doors. Martin Luther taught at the university. The house he lived in is here, so are those of his famous contemporaries Philipp Melanchthon and Lucas Cranach. Luther is also buried in Wittenberg. He was not born here, but in the nearby town of Eisleben in 1483. He also died in Eisleben, in 1546. The houses where he was born and died attract crowds of visitors from all over the world. Luther went to Eisenach in Thüringen at the age of 15 to be schooled. 20 years later he returned and ensconced himself in Wartburg Castle as he translated the New Testament into German in just ten weeks.

| 76 | CleanVideoPassau - Baroque Splendor in the "Three-River City" | Centuries ago, Celtic and Roman settlers valued the peninsula of Passau for its favorable strategic position - at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. This "city of three rivers" became an important center of trade. After the city was destroyed by a devastating fire in the 17th century, Italian architects rebuilt it in the Baroque style - an aesthetic that still attracts visitors from around the world. Passau's many churches and abbeys - there are about 50 of them in the city - give it a special charm. The Diocese of Passau once extended all the way to present-day Hungary. A stroll through the streets of the old town is akin to walking through an open-air museum. But new life pulses behind these Baroque facades: Today, Passau is a hub of art and culture. The Höllgasse alleyway is now home to a number of artisans, painters, galleries and artists' studios. The Museum of Modern Art was at the forefront of the city's cultural awakening. It was opened 20 years ago in one of Passau's most beautiful historic buildings. Passau's old quarter is defined by an abundance of cafes and taverns. Guests can choose from hearty fare to smaller delicacies. Cafe Simon creates famous pralines, in shapes that are reminiscent of the ornate golden hats once worn by Passau's wealthy female residents. | 12.11.11 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
