Baden-Württemberg – Where Wonders Happen

The first wonder of Southwest Germany came into being with the Lion Man around 40,000 years ago. Ever since, new marvels continue to unfold. Between them are ancient civilizations and modern brands, world wonders and world leaders. Celtic culture, cuckoo clocks and celestial cathedrals. Brilliant minds who formulated the theory of relativity and revolutionised mobility. Pioneers who ignited the American film industry in Hollywood and reshaped soccer with the invention of the red card.
