Travel Germany - Visiting the German Corner of Koblenz
Take a tour of German Corner in Koblenz, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the scenic city of Koblenz, Germany is a striking promontory at the convergence of the major rivers, Rhine and Moselle.
The Deutsches Eck, or German Corner, displays the reconstructed statue of German Emperor Wilhelm I.
Architect Bruno Schmitz created the statue in 1897, celebrating the German Empire's re-foundation.
The statue has led a dramatic life, erected in 1897, then severely damaged in 1945 by American troops, and finally reconstructed in 1993 after much debate.
Because of the political turmoil of the mid 20th century, pieces of the Berlin Wall are now showcased to honor German re-unification.
Koblenz, a town over two thousand years old, hosts many historical structures, the German Corner being one of its most magnificent jewels.

Munich - Germany Travel Guide
Public transport:
The comprehensive public transport network in Munich is run by the Münchener Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund GmbH (MVV). This consists of an integrated system of 10 Strassenbahn (tram) lines, around 70 bus lines, eight U-Bahn (underground) lines and 10 S-Bahn (suburban train) lines.
Tickets are available for purchase from blue ticket machines marked with the MVV logo and from other ticket outlets. Tickets must be validated in blue Entwerter machines, marked with the letter 'E', upon boarding - except on new trams, for which pre-validated tickets are available.
Both one-day and three-day passes are available, and up to five adults travelling together can save money by buying a one-day group ticket (Partner-Tageskarte).
Taxis:
Taxis in Munich are usually cream-coloured Mercedes and can be safely hailed on the street. Taxi-München (tel: (01733) 825 038) is the central dispatching service. A tip of 5-10% is common practice.
Driving:
Traffic can be heavy, particularly during rush hour, and parking is often problematic. Drivers should note that trams always have priority in Munich, although driving on their tracks is permissible and usually unavoidable. Buses have priority when leaving stops.
The most useful car parks in Munich include Carpark am Stachus (Adolf-Kolping-Strasse 10), Carpark Vor der Oper (Max-Joseph-Platz 4), Carpark Marienplatz (Rindermarkt 16) and Carpark Färbergraben (Färbergraben 5), just south of the pedestrianised Kaufingerstrasse.
Car hire:
Drivers need to be at least 21 years old to hire a category-one car. Nevertheless, small cars, such as a Smart car, can be hired at 18 years. Insurance in Germany is mandatory and drivers must hold a valid national driving licence.
Bicycle hire:
Call A Bike operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB), has bikes spread over Munich. By calling the number, a credit card account is set up, which enables customers to release the electronically locked bike by inputting a pin code.

GERMANY: EXPLORING the historic WW2 BRIDGE at REMAGEN
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the historic Ludendorff Bridge (sometimes referred to as the Bridge at Remagen) which was in early March 1945 one of two remaining bridges across the River Rhine in Germany when it was captured during the Battle of Remagen by United States Army forces during the closing weeks of World War II. Built in World War I to help deliver reinforcements and supplies to the German troops on the Western Front, it connected Remagen on the west bank and the village of Erpel on the eastern side between two hills flanking the river. At the end of Operation Lumberjack (March 1–7, 1945), the troops of the American 1st Army approached Remagen and were surprised to find that the bridge was still standing. Its capture enabled the U.S. Army to establish a bridgehead on the eastern side of the Rhine. After the U.S. forces captured the bridge, German forces tried to destroy it multiple times until it collapsed on March 17, 1945, ten days after it was captured, killing 28 U.S. Army Engineers. While it stood, the bridge enabled the U.S. Army to deploy 25,000 troops, six Army divisions, with many tanks, artillery pieces and trucks, across the Rhine. It was never rebuilt. The towers on the west bank were converted into a museum and the towers on the east bank are a performing art space. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com

Auf dem 3.Platz: UNESCO-Welterbe Kölner Dom
Schon seit dem 4. Jahrhundert standen an der Stelle des heutigen Kölner Doms Kirchen, aber erst seit 1248 entstand in der Stadt am Rhein eine der bedeutendsten Kathedralen der Christenheit – und ein Meisterwerk gotischer Architektur. 1880, im Jahr seiner Fertigstellung, galt er als das größte Bauwerk der Welt.
