FORTE CULTURA guided tour: Fortified town of Germersheim (DE)

Classic city and fortress tour Germersheim

Discover the unique fortress of Germersheim and its historical significance.

The fortified town of Germersheim is located in the Southern Palatinate on the Upper Rhine. Its varied history begins with the Romans. Later a free imperial town, a chief administrative town and a garrison town, Germersheim finally became a royal Bavarian border and defence town against France at the beginning of the 19th century.

With the construction of the fortress on behalf of the Bavarian King Ludwig I, Germersheim also experienced a pioneering highlight and boom. The imposing fortifications still characterise the Germersheim townscape today.

On the exciting historical discovery tours, you will explore the impressive, well-preserved military buildings, the "Germersheim underworld" with its casemates and mine passages and experience the typical flair of a southern Palatinate district town.

Let yourself be enchanted when Germersheim shows its best side with its cultural-historical and architectural sights, the many beautiful alleyways, squares and charming corners, the multitude of cultural and tourist attractions as well as the unique and unspoilt nature.

Experience the fortress town and its charming surroundings as a stop on the European cultural route Fortress Moments FORTE CULTURA®.
