Summary
edit.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | 16th Century houses in Quedlinburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, 24 July 2019. In 919 Henry the Fowler, Duke of Saxony, was crowned King of the East Franks or King of East Frankia at Quedlinburg, which became his capital of what has also been called the first Kingdom of Germany and later 'The First Reich'. West Frankia evolved to become France. Under Communist East Germany, Quedlinburg declined and the mediaeval buildings fell into such poor condition that the Communist government proposed wholesale demolition, the population to be rehoused in flats (their objections to this being ignored). Fortunately, the fall of Communism and the Unification of Germany led to huge amounts of money being pumped into the town and the comprehensive restoration of the buildings with the result that in 1994 it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. |
