Halle, University city near River Saale in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The fifth largest city in former East Germany extends along both banks of the Saale River with numerous historic buildings and salt production sites.
Salt mining operations in Halle date back to the Bronze Age, leading to the city's Germanic name derivation and its economic development through centuries.
The Handel House museum preserves the birth residence of composer Georg Friedrich Handel and displays manuscripts, instruments, and period-specific musical artifacts.
The central railway station connects to Leipzig Airport through hourly express services and provides direct routes to Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt.
The State Museum of Prehistory houses the Nebra sky disk, a bronze artifact from 1600 BCE depicting the oldest known representation of cosmic phenomena.
