The article gives an overview of the history and current state of architecture in Germany, moored to structures that shape the image of the country and of outstanding builders, architects and engineers who worked in Germany or act. The German architecture is characterized by a large measure of regional diversity, due to centuries of fragmentation of the German territory into principalities, kingdoms, etc. This created a very heterogeneous picture, partly there are architectural differences from town to town, from village to village. This gives the present-day Germany, a particularly rich historical architectural heritage. Not to be overlooked in many German cities, however, the consequences of the destruction in the Second World War ; especially in urban centers, the historic buildings are usually only - reconstructed - Islands in the architecture of the reconstruction. Germany's architecture is naturally also closely intertwined with that of its neighboring countries and other European countries. architectural styles make almost never stop at national borders, so that one architectural history of a "German" architecture can not speak. Architecture is always a cross-border medium that connects a culture and at the same time symbolizes. So it was with the through Central Europe wandering masons' guilds in the Middle Ages, in the Baroque -Baukunst about the Würzburg Residence and it is to a greater extent in our highly networked world today where architects, especially the star architects of our time, international operate and thus global shape style developments basically globally. Since the German architect saw neither Italy nor the buildings of the ancient device in the 16th century Italian Renaissance architecture in the hands of German architect "initially a pure misunderstanding". The baroque architecture of domination of the German royal and princely houses was based, as well as the court ceremonial, always on the model France, especially at the court of Louis XIV in Versailles. Thus arose the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, Matthew Daniel Pöppelmann built from 1709 to 1728, initially to hold court festivities, as they were common at the court of the Sun King. The architecture of absolutism put always the ruler at the center, so increased, for example, the spatial composition the powerful position of each ruler -. on the wall and ceiling paintings and sculptures - in the form of magnificent staircases that lead to the person of the ruler the sculpted walls praise her motifs usually the princely or royal builders. The classicism came on in the second half of the 18th century in Germany. This was based, as the name implies, the classical architecture of antiquity. The classicism as a countermovement to Baroque to understand and also sets itself apart ideologically from an architectural style of absolutism from. This was true not only for the architecture, but also for the landscape architecture. The history of architecture is a subdivision of the History of Art commissioned the study of the historical evolution of architecture, principles, ideas and achievements. This discipline, as well as any other form of knowledge historical, is subject to the limitations and strengths of history as a science : there are various perspectives in relation to its study, most of which are Western. The city of Nuremberg was a territory of the Holy Roman Empire, whose independence had taken place in several stages of development during the 13th to 15th centuries (obtaining the realm of freedom in 1219 awarded the high court 1320 acquisition of Nuremberg Burggrafenburg 1427) and to 1806 existed. Around the year 1105, the originating in a Lower Austrian gender were counts of Raab invested with the Nuremberg castle and used as a viscount. In the following years this provided the basis for an extensive imperial territory, which developed around the Nuremberg Castle and later as a castle county called Nuremberg. For the development of later imperial city of Nuremberg Castle County therefore played an important role because it is in the following centuries this or any successor territories. In 1200 Nuremberg became a town and should be in the following years mainly due to the favorable location on north-south and east-west running trade routes, including the Golden Road develop into an important trading site.
