The home to many a famous composer, scientist and fashion designer, Germany is dotted with famous cities, all packed with history. Berlin is perhaps most famous for its wall, built by the communists and effectively splitting Germany into two countries.
Germany’s famous people are Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Georg Friedrich Handel (composers) and Albert Einstein (scientist).
