In the footsteps of the Romans<\/h3>\n
In 55 B.C. Caesar crossed the Rhine for the first time with his troops and from 13\/12 B.C. commander Drusus began campaigns against the Germanic tribes. Even today, in many places you can still find the traces of the Romans, who strongly shaped the history of Germany.<\/p>\n
The Romans in Trier<\/h4>\n
Trier<\/a> is the oldest city in Germany and you can still find many remains of Roman culture. Besides the Porta Nigra<\/strong> (the black gate), you can also visit the Roman baths<\/strong> here. Again and again, Roman sites are found on construction sites in the area. You should also visit these places when you are in Trier:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n On an 800km long bike tour, you can follow the Limes from the Rhine to the Danube. Along the way, you\u2019ll pass Roman buildings, old parts of the Limes wall, and many museums that show the influence of the Romans on German culture. Of course, you can also grab your history-loving TripMates<\/a> and discover the Limes by car!<\/p>\n Explore Germany with JoinMyTrip<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In 9 AD, one-eighth of the Roman army was destroyed by the Germanic tribes under the leadership of Hermann, a prince of the Cherusci. The sites of the Varus Battle are believed to be in northern NRW, Lower Saxony, and what is now the Netherlands<\/a>. In the Teutoburg Forest, you can see the Hermann Monument near Detmold.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Have we inspired you to plan a trip in the footsteps of the Romans? Then join JoinMyTrip now and find your next TripMates with whom you can share experiences and costs.<\/p>\n Many places in Germany are marked by the Nazi era. We have compiled the most important historical places of this time for you.<\/p>\n This concentration camp was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil and is located on the Ettersberg near Weimar. It served as a labor and death camp from July 1937 to April 1945. Approximately 56,000 people fell victim to the Nazi regime here. Since 1958, the site has been home to a national memorial and memorial site with many exhibitions on the history of the camp. This site is a place of rest and remembrance.<\/p>\n In the southeast of the city of Nuremberg, the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds cover 16.5 square kilometers. From 1933 to 1938, the site was used for the party congresses of the NSDAP. Since 2001, the buildings have housed a documentation center with exhibitions about Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Germany was divided from 1949 to 1990. Many places, especially in Berlin, commemorate this time and also the fall of the Wall.<\/p>\n Checkpoint Charlie<\/strong> was one of the Berlin border crossings that connected the American sector with the Soviet sector. Today it is one of the most famous sights in Berlin. Since 2000, you can even visit a replica of the control barracks here. As in other places in Berlin-Mitte, a double row of cobblestones commemorates the course of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Brandenburg Gate stood in the middle of the restricted area between the American and Soviet sectors. The wall at the Brandenburg Gate was a low but particularly thick armored wall. On June 12, 1987, on the occasion of his visit to Berlin, Ronald Reagan spoke his famous words in front of the Brandenburg Gate: \u201cMr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!\u201d.<\/p>\n So, have we inspired you to plan your next trip to Berlin? Then, check out JoinMyTrip<\/a> now and discover your next Berlin adventure.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to seal off the GDR and East Berlin from West Berlin. The wall was about 160 km long and only open at border crossings, such as Checkpoint Charlie. In West Berlin, people were allowed to walk right up to the Wall. However,iIn East Berlin, the Wall was inaccessible due to the exclusion zone. In November 1989, the Wall fell, sealing the end of the Cold War.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n You want to follow in the footsteps of the Romans or experience history first hand in Berlin?
