Germany World Heritage List

When searching the internet for the Germany World Heritage List, I couldnt come up with anything like the list given in class.  So I just google searched one of the topics on the list and found a rather interesting information page about the Wartburg Castle. Check it out!

Introduction

Hello,
My name is nicole. I am currently a sophmore transfer student at SCSU. I am currently enrolled in German 110, and have created this blog for that purpose.  I am a "new-bee" at blogging and just starting to learn what blogging actually is. In the first class on Monday August 23, the class came up with certain topics related to german.  A few topics we came up with was the German language, culture, and structures. The holocaust, Berlin wall, and WWII. I am very excited to learn more about these topics, and other things throughout this course!
