Gottingen


Since 1737 Gottingen has been the home of some Germany's most brilliant minds. It was a gathering place for Max Planck and others who originated 'The Quantum Theory' of physics.
Gottingen boasts several beautiful churches, the most notable is St Johannis. The XII th century tower of St Jacobi dominates the city.
Visit the university Mensa to grab a cheap meal. Walk along Lange GeismarStr to see an impressive block of Fachwerkhausser. The Rathaus is a reminder of the town's wealth as a member of the Hanseatic League from 1351 - 1572
