I would like to introduce my hometown called Wörlitz. Wörlitz is a small village in the middle of Germany in the federal state Saxony-Anhalt. The closest bigger city is Dessau, which is famous for its Bauhaus-architecture. Together both towns make up the "Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz" which is a popular place for tourism. The main attraction of Wörlitz is the "Wörlitzer Park" which was added to the UNESCO world heritage list in 2000. The park was laid out in the second half of the 18th century and has become famous ever since. It's purpose was to enable people of every social class to find some relaxation and eduction. In general, Wörlitz's foundation was around 1000 years ago. Nowadays, there live around 1500 people in Wörlitz, whose main source of income is the tourism branch. Though it is a small town, it is really worthwhile vistiting.
