Gateway to the North - Mecca of international sailing - magnet for world handball - many superlatives for a small state capital that was about 80 percent destroyed during World War II. However, Kiel now has a lot to offer: the 106-meter-high town hall tower and the television tower as landmarks, St. Nicholas Church, the Little Kiel, the castle, and of course the harbor. The Kiel Fjord is an eldorado for water sports and nature enthusiasts. Major events like Kiel Week attract tens of thousands of visitors every year, and the long-successful handball players of THW are the city's sporting ambassadors. In addition, there are quiet places like the South Cemetery with its interesting architecture or the botanical garden. Join us on our journey through Kiel!.
