Buildings from Deutschland
German architecture encompasses the building traditions and styles developed in German-speaking regions from medieval times to the present.
It includes distinctive contributions such as Romanesque cathedrals, Gothic brick churches of the north, half-timbered houses, Baroque palaces, and the revolutionary Bauhaus movement of the early twentieth century.
Postwar German architecture is notable both for sensitive historical reconstructions and bold modernist statements.
