Overview

If one word could sum up Germany’s southwesternmost region, it would be 'inventive'. Baden-Württemberg gave the world relativity (Einstein), DNA (Miescher) and the astronomical telescope (Kepler). It was here that Bosch invented the spark plug; Gottlieb Daimler the gas engine; and Count Ferdinand the zeppelin. And where would we be without Black Forest gateau, cuckoo clocks and the ultimate beer food, the pretzel?
