My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

criteria. Cultural

This ensemble of sites includes some 500 ha of parks and 150 buildings that were constructed between 1730 CE and 1916 CE, and designed by the most regarded architects and landscape gardeners of northern Germany in their time. The whole complex extends from Potsdam into the district of Berlin-Zehlendorf, Berlin, in a region with a natural setting of rivers, lakes, and hills, based on conceptual plans by Peter Joseph Lenné made after the mid-1800s.
