Bielefeld

We had heard about Bielefeld long before we visited it. The fact is that the city is a famous Internet meme in Germany. In 1994, some jokers started a rumor that Bielefeld, in fact, does not exist. The joke became so popular that even Angela Merkel used it. And the mayor's office offers a million euros to anyone who can prove that the city does not exist.

Nevertheless, the joke came about for a reason. Despite the fact that Bielefeld, quite a large city (population 0.6 million, with suburbs), not much is really known about it. Do you know anything about Bielefeld? There is no major company associated with the city, although there are major companies, primarily Dr. Oetker, whose products are available in every German supermarket. It is also unknown in terms of tourism. In fact, similar jokes exist in other countries about some less-known areas.

Nevertheless, it makes sense to visit the city, we had a nice walk here, especially since there is a relief, with nice viewpoints.

Most of the beautiful buildings were built in the early 20th century, in the Weser Renaissance style.

Although there are older buildings, such as the church of St. Jodokus (Kath. Pfarrei St.Jodokus), consecrated in 1511.

After a walk in the old town, we went further and climbed the Johannisberg Hill. The path goes through the beautiful Winzerscher Garten.

From the observation deck you have a good view of the city and the fortress Sparrenburg, residence of Count Hermann von Ravensberg, who founded the city in 1214.

This time one hill was enough for us, so we did not go up to the fortress.

Getting there: Bielefeld is a major railway hub.
