Wonderful country. Go there every year and never been anywhere not worth a visit. Would also recommend Nuremberg for a day trip. Rothenberg is a bit of a hike from Munich.

You've clearly never been to Bielefeld then? I have on numerous times when posted near there, well I thought I had until I found out Bielefeld doesn't exist and never has. A guy in Berlin told me I was part of "the conspiracy" when i was adamant I'd been there. If Bielefeld did exist it wouldn't be worth a visit all the same.The Germans on here will know what I mean.

Never went to those rocks (Externstein)? but went to Hermannsdenkmal, I went there with my girlfriend Suzi from the fictional district of Heepen in the fictional city of Bielefeld. I lived in Lemgo (Lippe) for over two years so was quite nearby there and the countryside is amazing around the Teutobergerwald.

Not been to Bielefeld, but want to go now. Think you'd better explain its mythical status !

I was in a pub in Berlin- Kreuzberg about two years ago when I first heard of it and all the German lads laughed when I said I'd been to Bielefeld. I told them there was a large British garrison there in the 80s when I used to drink there regularly. That's when I was told it doesn't exist. It seems Angela Merkel has also questioned its existence.

The story goes that the city of Bielefeld (population of 323,076 as of 2011[1]) in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia does not actually exist. Rather, its existence is merely propagated by an entity known only as THEM (SIE in German), which has conspired with authorities to create the illusion of the city’s existence.

The theory posits three questions:

Do you know anybody from Bielefeld?
Have you ever been to Bielefeld?
Do you know anybody who has ever been to Bielefeld?
A majority are expected to answer 'no' to all three queries. Anybody claiming knowledge is said to be part of the conspiracy or being deceived themselves.

Thanks Ruhr. From the photos I've seen it looks no worse than any of the other medium sized cities in north Rhine.

Is there a German equivalent of Nuneaton or Mansfield ?

Are you saying that Nuneaton doesn't exist, and is a conspiracy promoted by THEM to hide their alien origins?

Have you ever been to Nuneaton?

Do you know anyone who has ever been to Nuneaton?

has David Cameron expressly acknowledged the existence of Nuneaton?

Are these towns, everyone make jokes about their inhabitants?

No, i don´t think so. Till the late 80s the east frisians, people living at the german coast, were victims of this kind of jokes, but they went out of fashion. It´s just with rival cities, Cologners make jokes about the people from Düsseldorf, Frankfurters about the people from Offenbach and so on.
