Germany is considered to be the “land of writers and thinkers”, and no other part of the country is as deserving of this title as Baden-Württemberg. Universal scholars, romantic dreamers and free thinkers of true genius have lived here, and still live here today. Seminars, study rooms and laboratories across the region have produced idealistic theories, ideas for the future and groundbreaking research.

Perhaps it’s the emotive and romantic atmosphere of the landscape which has encouraged people to write and think. There’s the picturesque castle-studded Neckar valley, the peaceful Swabian Jura (schwäbische Alb) and the lonely Black Forest. The countryside in Baden-Württemberg is rich in its variety. Many places are marked by an austere beauty, full of lonely romance and poetry.
Other tourist attractions were witnesses to Baden-Württemberg’s rich history, including palaces and castles such the Hohenzollern Castle, the home to the last generation of German emperors, and churches and convents.
