Experience the history of the city of Amberg. Learn for example more about the Amberg Wedding („Amberger Hochzeit“) 1474, or how the Winter King („Winterkönig“) got his name. You can go shopping at an old-fashioned corner shop, visit a bakery, a pharmacy or a dentist. Another exhibition highlights the long tradition of Beer in Amberg. After that it’s „spot on“ for a historic fashion show. The tour continues to local crafts shops, like a hairdresser, a shoemaker and a goldsmith. At the attic floor of the „Baustadel“ earthenware, enamel and faience mainly manufactured in Amberg are on display. An unique experience is offered by the exhibition „A Tribute to Michael Mathias Prechtl“, which introduces the famous son of the city and internationally known artist and his works. The well-known boardgame Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht was invented by a man born in Amberg – an entire section highlights the game’s history and invites visitors to try out the game on their own.

...for sure you can't compare this museum with e.g., the huge Mercedes museum in Stuttgart. But if you love luxury cars and Oldtimers this is definitely a must. The cars themselves - in various conditions - are just WOW! If you are in the Nürnberg area, this is worth the drive to Neumarkt!

The history of golf comes alive in a heritage-listed townhouse in the heart of Regensburg, just a stone´s throw from the Cathedral. You will experience an unforgettable journey through the history of golf from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. More than 1200 exhibits and rarities have been collected together worldwide, wherever the Anglo-Saxons left their traces, tastefully presented and atmospherically illuminated in medieval vaults of an old patrician house. Beside a variety of multimedia shows including a kids corner the curator of the golf museum and golf historian Peter Insam also offers daily guided museum tours.

This experience changed my life. I had to prepare myself mentally for this...it was not an easy day and nothing can prepare you for the emotions you will feel walking these grounds. That being said, I truly feel that if you travel to Germany, take time out of your plans and come to one of these camps. I am deeply touched by the honor and respect that Germany has shown for the millions that perished at the hands of the Nazis. My visit to Flossenburg was a day I will never forget. We had a German speaking tour guide...I had a German friend with me who did his best to translate. I never asked if she spoke English; however I was the only person in the tour group that spoke little to no German so out of respect for the others, I let my translator assist me. The written plaques and signage were in written in German and English, which I was grateful for. The moment that really touched my German friend was when he discovered that Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a prominent Lutheran Pastor and theologian, was murdered here on April 9, 1945. As difficult as it is, I strongly encourage anyone to visit this place, to not only take in the essence of the experience here, but to honor and respect the dead, to stand where they stood, walk the earth they walked, cry where they cried. It is powerful and all should see it; step out of our blessed lives and feel this. A side note, there are residence built on the hillside above the camp, overlooking the camp. I was very upset by the sight of this until the tour guide explained that after the US liberated this camp, the some1500 survivors had nowhere to go so remained living in the barracks at the camp for some time. It is their understanding that some of these survivors requested land on that hillside to start to build homes as they had nothing left and nowhere to go. If this is true, then these homes are survivor homes.
