The Deutsche Bank Twin Towers anchor Frankfurt’s skyline and rank among the most photographed silhouettes in the city, framed on clear days against the ridge of the Taunus. The two towers have become a favorite subject for panoramic photography from rooftops, parks, and observation decks across the city. Locals nicknamed them “Soll und Haben”, or […]

The Berchtesgaden Panorama showcases a small alpine town surrounded by mountains and valleys in southeastern Bavaria, Germany. Near the border with Austria and nestled in the heart of the Berchtesgaden Alps, this region is widely known for its peaks, lakes, and protected natural areas. There is a mix of accessible viewpoints and more demanding terrain, […]

From the Walhalla Memorial, the view opens across the Danube Valley in Germany, with the river and surrounding Bavarian landscape stretching far into the distance. This fantastic view over the Danube deserves to be the culmination of this three-piece series on the Walhalla Memorial. It is the kind of place where history and landscape meet […]

The interior of the Walhalla Memorial is often described as Germany’s Hall of Fame, featuring a grand hall of marble busts honoring influential figures from German history. Seeing the interior of Walhalla Memorial was actually the reason why we made that detour when traveling from Regensburg to Passau. Along the way we stopped to climb up […]

The Walhalla Memorial is a neoclassical temple in Bavaria, Germany, overlooking the Danube Valley and built to honor influential figures from German history. Created by Bavarian King Ludwig I, this neoclassical monument in Germany is actually one of the most important of its kind from the 19th century (yes, even if you’ve never heard of […]

Leipzig‘s Central Station at Christmas in Germany looks completely different early in the morning. I went to shoot this photo on a winter morning just after 7am, when the city was still quiet and the light was soft. That time of day matters to me, especially in winter, because everything feels calmer and more honest. […]

Some photos take years to reveal their magic. This Panorama of Basteibrücke in Autumn in Germany was captured back in autumn 2017—and rediscovered only recently when I went digging through old hard drives. That day, the weather was anything but ideal. It rained for most of the afternoon, the sky heavy and gray. Normally, I’d […]

I keep going back to a calm time memory: a cold December morning and this perfect for historic Leipzig a hidden gem, photography location. Me, looking through the Old Town Hall’s arches. I recall deliberately forming the photo and purposefully without people. Their wardrobe could have reveal the present time. But I wanted this image […]

Two years ago, on December 30, 2022, Daria and I visited Passau in Germany, during a road trip from Berlin to Salzburg. Although Passau and it’s old town (Altstadt) wasn’t initially on our radar, it became a highlight thanks to a recommendation from ChatGPT. This detour to the “City of Three Rivers” showcased its Altstadt, […]

In the peaceful moments before dawn, Munich showcases its timeless charm.

Discovering Historic Landmarks Embarking on my journey after a delightful trip to Italy, I found myself drawn to Munich’s historic landmarks. […]

The Enchanting Dawn at Leipzig’s New Town Hall The city of Leipzig, a hidden gem in Germany, was shrouded in a tranquil silence, broken only by the occasional distant sound. A thick blanket of darkness still lay over the city, but the early morning chill was a reminder of the upcoming sunrise. My adventure in […]

What’s your favourite way to explore a new city? By foot? By bike? Hop-on, Hop-off bus? How about using a Kayak? Kidding aside, I was impressed when I saw this guy taking on the Danube river in Regensburg in his small Kayak. The currents around the Stone Bridge are vicious. I could see him struggling. […]

In Leipzig, a hidden gem and underrated European city, you find two Town Halls. Yesterday I showed you the Old Town Hall, today it’s time for the new version. Or specifically, the City Hall Tower of Leipzig’s New Town Hall. At 114.8 meters or 377 feet, it is the tallest City Hall Tower in Germany. […]

Doing Cityscape photography during Christmas Days is both a blessing and a curse. The good: You find a lot of beautiful Christmas decorations that give a lovely and unique touch to the images. The bad: Big town squares are often inaccessible due to temporary Christmas markets. Both had been the case at the Old City […]

So how did I capture the skyline of Leipzig? Have you read my post from two days ago about the Skyline of Qatar? Then you know the answer: I tried to find accommodation with the best view. In Leipzig, a hidden gem, for me, this is “The Westin Leipzig”. Thankfully, few people travel between Christmas […]

As soon as we arrived in Leipzig, we got hungry. Daria did a quick Tripadvisor research and found a restaurant called “Auerbachs Keller” in the Mädlerpassage. So off we went to explore the city centre of Leipzig. Boy, did we go unprepared. Okay, I expected we might need to be lucky to get a table […]

With this photo from the Malche in Tegel: Happy Birthday to me! To celebrate my 35th birthday, I’ve chosen a photo of this tree that’s so close to my heart. As you may know, I grew up near Lake Tegel in the north of Berlin. Until December 2022, I always had a home waiting for […]

Moby Dick at Tegeler Hafen is another piece of my childhood history. Growing up near Lake Tegel was pretty cool. I always loved being around water and dreamt about living with a view of the lake. My grandparents would take me on a trip on one of these boats every summer. Pretty often, we took […]

With this photo from the so-called Sechserbrücke in Alt-Tegel, I wish you all a happy new year! This is a special photo for me and fitting to be the first published photo of 2023. 2023 will be the first year I’m officially and totally out of Berlin and out of Germany! Did I say I […]

If literally translated from the German ‘Neuschwanstein Schloss‘, the name would be ‘Castle of the New Swan Stone’. A perfect term for this fairytale castle located near the village of Hohenschwangau in Bavaria, Germany. But why such fairytale architecture and the name of this most popular castle in the world? According to tourist information, […]

The Pilgrimage Church in Wies was designed in the shape of an oval – it’s not just the perspective of this photo that has such curves. But when you look at the ceiling, does anything catch your eye? The construction of the church in Wies was commissioned to Dominikus Zimmermann in 1745, who was […]

The pilgrimage church in Wies is not located in the center of a big city and is not such an obvious place to visit. When you arrive at the site, you’ll even feel like you’re in the middle of a field. However, countless tourists flock to this place every year. The church is a true […]

We had the opportunity to visit Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany during our trip to Italy via Germany. Ingolstadt, had something special about it – on the one hand it is one of the oldest cities in Bavaria, and on the other hand it is a “wealthy” city when it comes to growing companies – especially […]
