UNESCO World Heritage Sites
2,000 years of European cultural history have certainly left their mark on Germany: Nowhere else will you find as many unique sites of natural and cultural interest situated so closely together. Thirty-two of them have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Germany’s world heritage sites are of such “extraordinary universal interest”, in fact, that they have been placed under the protection of international conventions.Please use the links below to find out everything about the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Germany by location!
