Weiden

　　The full name of Weiden is "Weiden in der Oberpfalz," a district-free city in eastern Bavaria, Germany, situated 100 kilometers east of Nuremberg and 35 kilometers west of the Czech Republic. The city was first mentioned in 1241 and lies at the intersection of two important trade routes, once serving as a significant commercial hub.

　　The most famous religious building in Weiden is St. Joseph's Church, built between 1899 and 1900 in the Neo-Romanesque architectural style, with Art Nouveau interior decorations. The Marketplace Square in the city center features a series of Renaissance-style buildings, elegant and beautiful, bearing witness to the city’s history. The Old Town Hall, constructed between 1539 and 1545, has a long history and quietly tells the story of the city's past. The Weiden City Museum displays porcelain, artworks, furniture, and more from the 16th to the 19th centuries, and also includes a dedicated room showcasing composer Max Reger.
