The name of the German city on t. List of cities in Germany: large metropolitan areas, small settlements and all the most interesting about German sights

Abbreviations: city - city, r. - river, peninsula - peninsula, lake. - lake, state-in - state, east. - historical name.

Transcription of individual words is given after them in Russian in parentheses.In my opinion, the way Russian letters convey the sound of letters and letter combinations of geographical names is, of course, not ideal and carries a number of significant inaccuracies in pronunciation, but it is more convenient than classical transcription.

In order to find the geographical name you need, for now, use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+f(we drive in the search line that appears (usually at the top right) the desired name and press Enter). A more convenient way to search will appear a little later.

To improve your health, you can visit the cities of Bad Griesbach, Bad Reichenhall, Bad Füssing and many other cute towns with the prefix Bad-.

The list of cities in Germany, as well as, in principle, the list of settlements in any other developed country, is quite voluminous. Many small ones, but also many large ones. This topic is detailed and interesting, so it is worth focusing on it.

Briefly about the topic

First of all, I would like to note that modern Germany is divided into 16 separate federal states. Many mistakenly believe that each of them is a separate state. But no, it's just federal state- like we do in Russia.

Excludes Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg. These are separate cities. There is also a similarity with Russia: after all, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol are separated by the same status. Although the above German cities are equated in value to the lands.

A bit of history

Before listing the list of cities in Germany, it is worth delving a little into history. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, small separate states existed and flourished on the territory of this country. They often change own borders. Initially, there were 11 of them, but then, when three states (Baden, Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern) united, there were nine. Then there were districts, of which there were 14. But in 1990 there were changes. East and West German capital United, and in the Eastern part of the country decided to restore everything as it was. So there are 16 lands.

Free lands and cities

Before voicing the list of cities in Germany, I would like to talk about the lands. So, the first one is Baden-Württemberg. It was formed in 1952, when three lands united (this was discussed above). Considered one of the most prosperous and developed, the capital is Stuttgart.

Bavaria is the most large land in Germany. Its capital is the famous Munich, the birthplace of BMW and Bavarian traditions. Berlin - main city throughout the country, until 1920 was part of the state of Brandenburg. And she, by the way, is located in the north-east of the state. The capital is Potsdam, a small but cozy town.

Bremen, a free Hanseatic city, is the smallest state in the country. It includes only two cities. This, in fact, Bremen and Bremerhaven. Just like Bavaria, this is the oldest formation in the country. Hamburg, by the way, is also a free Hanseatic city. In addition, the largest port metropolis in Europe! It is located where the Elbe flows into the North Sea.

Other lands

The most famous German cities have been listed above. The alphabetical list in Russian in full is provided below. And now - in more detail about the rest of the lands.

Hesse is located in the very center of Germany. This is a land with the capital Wiesbaden, whose name comes from an ancient Germanic tribe. Vorpommern (or, as it is also called, Mecklenburg) is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The capital is Schwerin, a city with picturesque castles And amazing nature located among the lakes.

Located near Bavaria. The capital is Hannover, a port city with a population of half a million. North Rhine-Westphalia is a land whose main city is the famous Düsseldorf. In the southwest is Rhineland-Palatinate. Its capital is Mainz, a major German media center.

Saarland (or simply Saarland) is one of the smallest lands in the country. Borders with France. Dresden is the capital of the free state of Saxony, while Magdeburg is the main city of Saxony-Anhalt. Schleswig-Holstein is located in the north of the country. The capital is Kiel, whose sister cities are Kaliningrad and Sovetsk.

And finally, a free state called Thuringia. This so-called green heart Germany. Located in the very center of the country. Its capital is Erfurt, the university center. All this, in its advantage, the large cities of Germany. The list is quite large. Therefore, it is not worth listing them all.

small settlements

In principle, people are more or less aware of the list of cities in Germany. But at the mention of this topic, only names come to mind major capitals. But there are many such settlements as small towns in Germany, the list of which is also voluminous.

For example, Rothenburg od der Tauber. Cozy, small, with a population of 11 thousand people, with bright houses and narrow streets. Minden - too Small town OK. Few people know that it is here that the second longest water bridge in Europe is located. Villingen-Schwenningen, Velbert, Flensburg (by the way, the northernmost settlement in the country), Tübingen, Marl, Dessau (Junkers planes were once produced there), Lünen, Ratingen (green and picturesque), Ludwigsburg with the famous Baroque palace , Esslingen am Neckar (founded in the eighth century), Hanau, Düren…

This is a list of cities in Germany that are the smallest but notable. Their population is less than 100 thousand people. By the way, such towns are very popular among tourists.

Studying the list, it is impossible not to note the attention due to which these settlements gained fame. For example, Recklinghausen is famous for the fact that it houses the Museum of Icons - the largest museum focused on religious values.

In Bergisch Gladbach, for example, iron ore was mined for a long time. In the last century, there was just a huge supply of it. Göttingen is well known to Russians, since it is there that he lives a large number of our compatriots. Pforzheim is the city that suffered the most from bombing during wartime. Heilbronn is famous for its winemaking and salt mines. By the way, in those places where this city was founded, human traces were first noticed during the Paleolithic! Fürth is a city known for being the most densely populated by the number of monuments. Neuss is known for a rather unusual fact - the fact that a local witch named Esther Jonas was executed here in the 17th century. Although she was simply engaged in medicinal herbs.

Basically, here are the most interesting cities Germany (alphabetical list in Russian provided above). As one could understand, even small settlements, whose names are far from being heard by everyone, can boast of something.

The smallest cities

Germany is one of the most beautiful and great countries in the world. Everyone who has been there or is just going there must know that the most beautiful and fascinating cities are the capitals and simply large cities of the country. If you pay attention to the towns located 70–100 km from major cities you can have a lot of fun. Each country has its own nooks and crannies where not many tourists visited.

Unfortunately, convent St. Mary has not reached our time, only ruins remain. The highlight of the city are half-timbered houses.

German city of Neuruppin demonstrates a love of order and cleanliness. The city is divided into two parts - new and old. It is separated by Lake Ruppiner. Neuruppin is the city of flowers, which is why tourists come here.

Germany is not only one of the most developed countries world in scientific and technical terms, it is a country with the richest historical and cultural heritage. Each of its cities is individual and has its own centuries of history, customs and traditions different from other cities. This is understandable, because for a long time Germany was fragmented into a number of independent states, each of which developed in its own way.
