Hoffmann Museum
Keen history students who speak German might want to visit this historic part of town to see its Hoffmann Museum. In 1841, Fallersleben native August Heinrich Hoffman (1798-1874) wrote the lyrics to what would become the German national anthem (music courtesy of Joseph Hayden). Here you'll find discussion of how his words 'über alles' ('above everything') were simply a call for an end to petty inter-German fiefdoms, and how they were expunged after the Third Reich's nationalistic excesses. Take bus 206 or 214 to Fallersleben.
