Dear Gothaer / citizens of Gotha, dear guests of a former world-class town,

 

You will be amazed at what Gotha has to offer.

 

After the first running and walking/hiking book “The Moved Gotha” of the former residence town and its surrounding mountains had its successful start at the end of the year 2005, a second gap in the Gotha literature was closed with the German guide “Das sehenswerte Gotha” in 2006. And now the third one is here:

 

The first English guide of Gotha is available.

 

Time of going to press was the 30 June 2008. So the results of this year`s Short Put Meeting in Gotha and the world champion Günter Schnürch in judo in Brussels are included.

 

The event summer in Gotha this year is dedicated the theme journeys .The exhibition highlight of 2008 at the Castle Gotha “Peace Stone” bears the full title:

 

‘A Prince Discovers the World – The Travels and Collections of Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1844-1900)’

 

under the patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

 

It also reflects the English guide: The Co-curator of the Alfred Show/Exhibition, Dr. Falk Reitz, wrote an article about the Gothaish-English relations. As a translator he could win the British Steve Crow. So, even a native speaker is involved in the project. The guide was edited again by the Gotha expert Matthias Wenzel.

 

The town guide is worth seeing: The cover image is identical with the German first edition due to the recognition value. The content, however, is still vivid, even more informative, yet abundantly illustrated, even better printed. The affordable price of 4.95 Euro remains the same.

 

It does not happen everyday that tips belong to the concept as the honour of successful athletes and committed citizens. The emphasis of the experimental archaeologist Dominique Görlitz and the research of palaentologist Dr Thomas Martens – Gotha has the largest early reptieles collection in Europe.are new.

 

A selection of important objects in the district of Gotha and trip recommendations even to Eisenach and Weimar complete the publication.

 

The new Gotha guide will be available at the tourist information, bookstores, museums and hotels**** in Gotha. Both editions can be ordered at the author (see letterhead).

 

The photos by Kamen Pawlow to the worth seeing Gotha and its surrounding are exhibited at the lawyer`s office Schultheis&Gottlob and colleagues at the “House to the Golden Hen”, lower main market 36, Gotha, tel +49 (0) 3621 / 7240-0, on workdays, entrance is for free. There are the Gotha books available, too.
