This time we’ll visit the Saargau Region, the Ahrenshoop Baltic Sea Resort, Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Stuttgart. (Rebroadcast from 26.07.2009)
We begin our trip in Saarbrücken, once the residence of the counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken in the Middle Ages. Now completely restored after the destruction wreaked by the Second World War, the historic city is dominated by Baroque architecture and its emblem is the Church of St Louis.
DJ Sascha Stroschke, better known as DJ Curly Buuh, takes us first to the Neuwieser Viertel, one of the few areas of Saarbrücken not to have been destroyed in World War Two.
With its quaint thatched cottages, the picturesque seaside town of Ahrenshoop nestles between the Baltic Sea and the 'Bodden' inland water. The landscape alternates between steep and flat coast, meadows and woods, sea and inland water, and is famous for its unique light.
In Rothenburg it's Christmas all year round, even in summer. At least if you're browsing the wares in Käthe Wohlfahrt's shop. And that's an unmissable highlight of any visit to Rothenburg.
Ingo and Mary Werk from Los Angeles aren't in Germany to see the usual tourist sights such as churches and castles - they're here to see some cars.
