Erfurt (Thüringen), Germany

Johann Sebastian Bach's father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was born in Erfurt and is the city in which he was married.  Johann Pachelbel also served as organist at a church in this city and composed over seventy pieces here.  Because little of Erfurt was destroyed during World War II, the center offers a variety of medieval, baroque and classical architecture.  In addition, there are over 25 churches and monasteries in the center of Erfurt, most of them in the Gothic style and some Romanesque.
