World Heritage sites crowd into a small area: Luther's Wittenberg, where the Reformation began in 1517, the Bauhaus in Dessau, Quedlinburg and Naumburg Cathedral.

What to know about this state

No other state packs so many World Heritage sites into so small an area: Wittenberg and Eisleben as places of the Reformation, the Bauhaus in Dessau, Quedlinburg and Naumburg Cathedral. Anyone seeking naturalisation applies to the rural district or independent city where they live; technical oversight lies with the state administration office.
