Qu Lihua nodded, "It's really exquisite, listening to Captain Xia Yuxiang and Robin introduce us to us, we have also increased our knowledge!"

Robin led the group forward, and as he went, he introduced everyone that it was truly German, with a large number of elaborate and shiny wooden dwellings bordering the city square along the city's curving streets, a moat along the defensive walls that took on the outline of no return, some of the walls were protected, and the narrow, winding lanes of the old town.

Wander through the streets with historic wooden cottages, unique cobblestone roads, red-roofed overlooking the city, and the well-preserved traditional architecture and history behind the town, which is as famous as Rothenburg in southern Germany.

"Robin has brought us to both towns, and we still remember them vividly!"

"Yes, there are many places to see in Germany, and there are many places to see!"

"Let me tell you a little bit about the history of this town, where King Henry I built his castle on one of the two mountain ranges of Quedlinburg, his royal residence became the capital of the Germanic kingdom of Franco, and Otto the Great founded the church of St. Cervititus on the summit of the same mountain. ”

"I have already told you that Germany attaches great importance to religion, churches can be seen everywhere, the number of churches is relatively large, the influence of this church of the priesthood has spread to the whole kingdom and even the empire, and the Mudu monastery is built on the second hill. ”

"The geographical location here is very good, and this place was chosen to be built, also because the scenery here is beautiful, and it is very quiet, suitable for construction, and I found a flat place in the middle of the mountain, which can be built, and the site is determined to start construction. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "The medieval architectural style here is very distinctive, showing the style of European cities!"

"Yes!" Robin nodded, "the Saxony-Anhalt state of central Germany has been designated as a World Heritage Site for its castle hill, churches and wooden houses in the Old Town, and historically it was the cultural and center of the Saxon dynasty and the residence of Henry I, a model of medieval European cities." ”

"At that time, the city was guaranteed to trade between the North Sea and the Alps, and trade could make the economy prosperous, and the more people there were, the more trade was needed, and trade was the exchange of goods with each other, and what goods you needed, I had them in this area, and I sold them to another area, and Quedlinburg developed rapidly. ”

"In the 12th century, Quedlinburg began to expand near the east bank of the Bode River, and in 1330, people built the city wall to enclose two parts of the city, there is the old town, there is also the new town, the old town retains some historical ancient buildings, so many years, it is still preserved, it is not easy, after many years of vicissitudes. ”

"The new town is a number of new buildings that have been built recently, in order to match the old medieval buildings in the old town, form a style, or retain the architectural characteristics of the Middle Ages, it looks like the style is harmonious and unified, it is very beautiful, and it is also vigorously developing tourism, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come here to visit the tour. ”

"Our journey starts from the defensive walls outside the city and travels around the old town to climb the palace hill to look out over the old city. Robin said.

"I think it's more meaningful to visit the old town here, and the buildings that have been preserved in history are still very attractive, so I'll take you to feel it!"

The bus slowly stopped on the outside of the old city, and when it reached the level, Robin beckoned everyone to get off the bus, and they were greeted by the medieval defense tower, which is now intact for visitors to visit.

The green-roofed Lindenbay Tower, named after the famous entrepreneur who donated money to renovate the Romanesque defensive tower in 1890, is also the tallest watchtower in the town, and offers a panoramic view of the city.

Robin took everyone to the top of the tower, Qu Lihua stood on a high place, and sure enough, she could see the scenery in the distance, and it was really different to watch from a high place.

Meng Wenjie nodded, "There are indeed different scenery, the biggest feeling of coming to Germany, their towns all retain the characteristics of ancient buildings, the top of the tower is very high, the roofs of some buildings are high, the streets are clean and tidy, people do not litter, and they have developed good habits!"

"Yes!" Robin nodded, "The history of the old town dates back to 994 BC, when Otto III, the Holy Roman Emperor, granted it to his aunt, Abbot Mathilde, and the history of the town began, and with the continuous development of economy and trade, the town gradually grew.

Founded in the 12th century as a 12th-century mercantile alliance for Germany to support and protect each other in foreign trade, the rising town joined the Hanseatic League in 1426 and was not fulfilled until 1802, when Quedlinburg was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia.

Qu Lihua listened to Robin tell the history of this small city, and gradually learned some historical and cultural knowledge, and felt that it was really worth the trip here.

Robin took everyone down to the top of the tower and looked around, and Qu Lihua's feelings were even deeper.

The town's rich history is a microcosm of its architecture, standing in the market square of the old town, looking around, most of the buildings are in the form of wood-framed houses, wandering through the alleys, you will often encounter centuries-old houses.

Look at it, you can also experience the previous customs, Qu Lihua still likes to walk on such streets, exotic style, although a little unfamiliar, but can feel different customs.

Robin tells everyone that there are about a thousand such structures in Quedlinburg, which can be a museum for the study of frame houses, and the unique appearance of each house tells its wonderful story.

The epitome of the architectural form of the old town, with the wood-framed houses on the left and the fountain on the right, the old Renaissance style buildings and the medieval towers in the middle in the distance have both the magnificence of the surface and the gloom and mystery of the Middle Ages.

In front of some very old and monumental houses, there will be carved cultural relics protection signs, which cannot be touched, and Robin also reminded everyone to appreciate them from afar and pay attention to the protection of cultural relics.

The stone pavement of the town also looks very old, dating back to the 10th century AD, Robin told everyone that the stone paving was chosen at the end of that year to play a role in fire prevention, and the prevention of fire was considered when building cities in ancient Europe, if it was a wooden floor, it was easy to catch fire.

This architectural style is different from the French architectural style, Qu Lihua remembers that many buildings and floors in France, the French like to lay wooden floors, walking on them is elastic, although the wood is good, but the disadvantage is that it is not fireproof, in case of fire, there is no more, so in contrast, such a stone paved ground, although it is uneven, but the advantage is fire prevention.
