D-Day Landing Beaches, Norman… (Nominated)
D-Day Landing Beaches, Normandy, 1944
The "Plagues du Débarquement" or D-Day beaches were added to the French T-list at the same day as the funeral sites and memorials of WWI. Two seemingly similar nomination, but …

Le Havre (Inscribed)
Le Havre
"Perret, la poétique du béton" (Perret, the poetics of concrete) was written on a poster at the Maison du Patrimoine in Le Havre. Well, that's certainly exaggerated and I can …

Jewish-Medieval heritage of E… (Inscribed)
Jewish-Medieval heritage of Erfurt
The subtitle sounds a bit overblown and boastful compared to what this T-list site actually includes, namely a synagogue, the ruins of a ritual bath and a secular building. The …

ShUM Sites (Inscribed)
ShUM Sites
The term ShUM is an acronym from the initial letters of the medieval names of Speyer, Worms and Mainz in Hebrew: Schin (Sh) for Schpira, Waw (U) for Warmaisa und …

Water Management System of Au… (Inscribed)
Water Management System of Augsburg
I am pretty sure most people in Augsburg did not realize that the historic water management has the potential for a WHS until it was proposed for the new German …

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt (Inscribed)
Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt
The Mathildenhöhe Artists' Colony is one of the most promising candidates on the new German tentative list, and it is also a site which I would like to see inscribed. …

Caves and Ice Age Art (Inscribed)
Caves and Ice Age Art
The paleontologists in Germany suffer a bit from the fact, that there are no sites of prehistoric rock art, not even simple scratches of arrows or circles, not to mention …

Maulbronn Monastery (Inscribed)
Maulbronn Monastery
The Maulbronn WHS is a perfect example of a medieval monastery, the special feature is that not only the monastic buildings have been preserved but also the entire ensemble of …

Speyer Cathedral (Inscribed)
Speyer Cathedral
Opinions on the Speyer Cathedral vary considerably: either a marvellous example of Romanesque architecture or a bare and austere interior without any spirit. I must admit that the atmosphere inside …

Early Christian Necropolis of… (Inscribed)
Early Christian Necropolis of Pécs
For World Heritage enthusiasts Pécs is located in the middle of nowhere, the next WHS is in a straight-line distance of 170 kilometres (Budapest), which is quite a lot on …

Hollókö (Inscribed)
Hollókö
Hollókõ is a fine example of vernacular architecture, which has remained virtually unchanged for centuries. Although the village was burned down several times, it was always restored in the style …

Hortobágy (Inscribed)
Hortobágy
Puszta, a well-known term that is inseparably linked to Hungary. But what can be expected from this WHS? The last remains of an unspoilt cultural landscape with traces of the …

Tokaji Wine Region (Inscribed)
Tokaji Wine Region
The Hungarian World Heritage Sites never seemed very appealing to me (with the exception of Budapest), and it never crossed my mind to plan a trip to Eastern Hungary as …

Aggtelek and Slovak Karst (Inscribed)
Aggtelek and Slovak Karst
The cave system of the Aggtelek and Slovak Karst was inscribed mainly because of the high number of caves in a relatively small area and the variety of geological morphology, …

Bardejov Town (Inscribed)
Bardejov Town
Bardejov is a sleepy small town not far from the border with Poland, we visited the WHS in August 2014. The inscription is based on the almost completely preserved medieval …

Spissky Hrad and Levoca (Inscribed)
Spissky Hrad and Levoca
Without a doubt, Spissky hrad is a spectacular sight, the castle built of white travertine and towering on a green hill is a popular photo subject from every side and …

Wooden Churches of the Slovak… (Inscribed)
Wooden Churches of the Slovak Carpathians
The eight wooden churches of this WHS are spread over a wide area, almost across the whole territory of the Slovak Carpathians. We visited seven of them in August 2014, …

Wooden Churches of Southern M… (Inscribed)
Wooden Churches of Southern Malopolska
Three separate World Heritage sites in one region with a total of thirty individual sites - much ado just about wooden churches? At least these were my thoughts before we …

Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region
The tserkvas in the Polish Carpathians were definitely our favourites among the three wooden church WHS and one of the highlights of our trip through Lesser Poland and Slovakia in …
