I live in Schleswig! :D It's a little city in northern Germany.
We have a castle with a big, beautiful baroque garden. (pic related, castle iitself is not on the picture)
In the little building on the pic is the "Gottorfer Globus". That globe was the FIRST planetarium in the history of mankind. (It's only a reproducation because the original was stolen and transported to russia after a lost war)
The outside shows the known world at the moment the globe was first created and on the inside (you can enter the inside and sit in it) you can see a detailed star map with pictures around those stars representing the star signs. The awesome thing is: There's a mechanism that moves the globe and lets a day pass in about 3-4 minutes. During that ride you can see the exact movement of stars during summer or winter (you can choose).
Also, we have an old viking ettlement nearby (Haithabu), it was the largest north-european city in that time and the most important trading centre 1000 years ago. It kept its importance for 200 years and was defended by the vikings until it was destroyed 1050 AD by a Norwegian King.
I don't think it's too interesting for most of you, so that should be all. I like this city, you can also access the Baltic Sea through the "Schlei" and we have a big Cathedral here.
We also have the oldest academic highschool north the river "Elbe" and an old fishing village. :D
