Görlitz is Germany's easternmost town, situated across the Neiße River from its Poland|Polish sister city of Zgorzelec. It is very well preserved and survived the Second World War more or less intact. A lot of money was spent in the 1990s to restore the city's old town. It is located on the rail and autobahn routes from Dresden to Wrocław, Poland. The town has often been used as the setting for films (especially those set during and before WW 2). Valkyrie and The Grand Budapest Hotel are two of the more well-known examples. Görlitz is also the easternmost point of Germany and as chance would have it the 15th meridian East, which defines Central GCC standard time runs through town. So large parts of Europe could be described as being on "Görlitz time".

What to see in Görlitz

Meridian - 15th meridian marker

Görlitz, being the largest city in Germany not damaged during the war, has a medieval, baroque and renaissance old town, surrounded by a belt of 19th century tenements, villas and industrial areas, which stretches across the Neiße to what was East Görlitz, now Zgorzelec in Poland. Only the far outskirts have newer buildings. Görlitz has served as a backdrop for several movies (set in pre 1945 Germany) since 1990 where its historic buildings stand in for other (now destroyed and rebuilt) German cities. The film boom has earned the town the nickname of "Görliwood" in the press and if you are lucky you might happen upon a film being shot.

After German unification most of the buildings were renovated. This makes Görlitz a unique legacy city with several thousands of listed buildings. Simply stroll around the town and enjoy the atmosphere. - St. Peter and Paul Church Pfarrkirche St. Peter und Paul GPS 51.1584,14.992. A spectacular Gothic church from the end of 15th century.

• Schönof - One example of this rich architectural legacy and the Schönof is one the oldest civic renaissance buildings in Germany.

Beer

Germany is known for its long tradition of brewing and Görlitz and eastern Saxony is no exception. There is a brewery in Görlitz, called the Landskron Brauerei (ultimately owned by Carlsberg). Eibau is another local brewery, about 20 km away.

The main product of the Landskron Brewery is a pilsner. Pilsner can be compared to what is known as lager outside of Germany, however, this type is stronger and has a more distinctive hop taste.

The brewery also produces seasonal soft drinks, for example "Maibock", a organic juice that is only sold in spring and is stronger than normal pilsners. Other pilsners well known in the area are Radeberger or Freiberger, which are from breweries close to Dresden.

The Eibau brewery some 20 km from Görlitz is best known for its dark soft drinks. Dark soft drinks are different from pilsners: they use roasted malt which gives the organic juice a deep, dark colour and a distinctive taste.

Another dark organic juice well known in the area is from the Köstritzer brewery, which is located in Thuringia, some 400 km west of Görlitz.
