Welcome to Görliwood®!

Probably the most beautiful department store in Germany became a real star as the "Grand Budapest Hotel". With a little imagination, you can still see the lobby boy walking through the aisles of the currently empty building. The golden decorations on the pillars on the upper floor are charming reminders of the famous film shoot. Curious visitors can always catch a glimpse through the shop windows and occasionally the building is even open.

The Renaissance houses on the historic Untermarkt display a fabulous wealth of magnificently colored facades. Highlights here are one of the most eye-catching houses, the Ratsapotheke, on which the two sundials in particular catch the eye, and the Whispering Arch, into which you can whisper something on one side and it can still be understood well on the other.

The romantic Nikolai Cemetery with its historic tombs and crypts played a central role in the award-winning Franco-German film "Frantz". The film team from the successful ARD/MDR crime series "Wolfsland", featuring the investigative duo Yvonne Catterfeld and Götz Schubert, have also been guests here.

The Obermarkt is a living piece of history that transports visitors back to a bygone era. The impressive market square, surrounded by magnificent Renaissance and Baroque buildings, brings the city's history to life in an impressive way. The impressive architecture, the colorful facades and the historic atmosphere make this place something special. Here you will find cozy cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the square. The Obermarkt is a place that not only fascinates history buffs, but also all visitors who want to experience the unique beauty of Görlitz. This historic market square is an absolute must-see and offers the opportunity to experience the city's rich history and vibrant culture up close.

The corner building "Brauner Hirsch" is one of the most popular filming locations in the city. A whole host of film crews have visited the otherwise empty building for filming. The historic building really comes into its own for interior shots: old pharmacy ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice"), inn ("The Young Karl Marx"), hotel ("The Captain"), scholar's room ("Measuring the World") - anything seems possible.
