A local would say...

Quedlinburg is a symphony in timber frames — over 1,300 half-timbered houses spanning nine centuries line streets that barely changed since the Middle Ages.

A well-preserved UNESCO World Heritage town of half-timbered houses arranged along winding medieval lanes. The Rathaus (1320) contains a beautiful Festsaal with frescoes of the town's colourful history, and a Roland statue (1426) stands in front. The bridge 'Zwischen den Städten' connects the old town and the historic Neustadt across the former town wall.
