Köthen and Köthener Land

Bilderbuch Deutschland

We are visiting the town of Köthen and the surrounding region. Between the rivers Saale and Elbe, Mulde and Fuhne we meet the people of this region, and its great diversity gives rise to the wish to see more. It is also the birthplace of many famous personalities: Johann Sebastian Bach was born here in Köthen, and Samuel Hahnemann, the father of modern homeopathy.

We will link history with the life and work of the people who are today conserving and reviving the traditions of this region.

We will visit mills and castles and enchanted gardens, be presented with mysteries and oddities and follow archaeological traces. In the process we will enjoy a wonderful piece of nature in the centre of Sachsen-Anhalt, which attracts animal and nature lovers from all over Germany.
