Gera, Regional center in Thuringia, Germany
The city lies in the White Elster valley at an elevation of 205 meters, surrounded by hills and forests of the East Thuringian landscape.
First documented in 995, Gera developed into a principal residence of the House of Reuss and later became the capital of the Principality of Reuss-Gera until 1918.
The Orangerie at Orangerieplatz contains art collections spanning from medieval to present times, including works by local painter Otto Dix.
The central railway station connects Gera to Leipzig within 55 kilometers, Berlin within 204 kilometers, and Munich within 308 kilometers by regular train services.
The Renaissance town hall stands as one of the largest structures of its kind in Germany, reflecting the municipal power during the textile manufacturing period.
