Web Directory: Cities in Germany
*Starred sites are in German only.
City.Net.Germany
http://www.city.net/countries/germany/
Links to information on well over 100 German cities--from Aachen to Zwickau--with maps, language
resources, travel guides, and much more. Some cities are only represented by the online equivalent of tourist brochures. Others are truly building "colonies" in cyberspace where local citizens exchange
information and services, and the Web traveler encounters interesting parallels with the "real" place.
Berlin Online*
http://www.BerlinOnline.de/
The Web version of the daily newspaper Berliner Zeitung is generous to a fault with two daily editions, a news ticker, comics,
horoscope, and crossword puzzles. Add to that other features like a science fiction corner, calendar of events, classifieds, archive of newspaper articles, online service for ordering theater tickets, and a taxi
and chat room.
Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg
http://www.hamburg.de/
Better organized and more selective than most city sites. The home page has a colorful, clickable collage of the city that invites you to
go on several virtual tours.
Munich Found
http://www.MunichFound.de/
The monthly English-language magazine is full of wit and wisdom about life in Bavaria's capital. Perceptive news articles cover
cultural events, local cuisine, shopping, and expatriate issues (a recent article explored the pitfalls of dating in Munich). There is also a detailed "what's on" list, and classified ads.

Nürnberg Online
http://nuernberg.de
The Web pages tell the story of medieval N?rnberg (traditionally Nuremberg in English) in pictures and words and describe its museum collections
in detail. It also has a clickable guide to city government offices and services, and a scholarly account of the war crimes trials of 1945-1949.
Lutherstadt Wittenberg
http://www.wittenberg.de/
The electronic guide to the city of Wittenberg is not only interesting because 1996 was the 450th anniversary of the death of Martin
Luther. A fascinating cybertour of the city and its surroundings gives you a feeling for its history and traditions and let's you know about upcoming events. If you ever get lost, just hit the "Back in
Wittenberg" button--it will take you backwards in the particular frame you are in.
