Quedlinburg on the northern edge of the Harz is an architectural wonder: Over 1,300 half-timbered houses from six centuries make the old town the largest area monument in Germany and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1994. From early Gothic to Art Nouveau, nearly every era of half-timbered architecture is represented here — a walkable textbook of German architectural history.

The St. Servatii Collegiate Church on the Schlossberg is one of the most significant Romanesque buildings in Germany. The cathedral treasury houses the Quedlinburg Cathedral Treasure — a collection of medieval goldsmithing, reliquaries, and liturgical items of world renown, which was adventurously retrieved from the USA after World War II.

Quedlinburg is considered the cradle of the German Empire: Here, in 919, the Duke of Saxony, Heinrich, was offered the royal crown, becoming Heinrich I, the first German king. His grave is located in the Collegiate Church. The Ottonian dynasty, which founded the Holy Roman Empire, has its roots here.

The Münzenberg opposite the Schlossberg is home to the oldest half-timbered house in Germany (post-and-beam construction around 1310) and offers a particularly picturesque view with its small gardens and crooked houses. The Feininger Museum is dedicated to the Bauhaus artist Lyonel Feininger, who painted Quedlinburg multiple times. Every summer, the old town transforms into an open-air stage during the Quedlinburg Music Summer.
