Wernigerode is a town in the Harz district of central Germany. It is picturesquely situated on the Holtemme river, on the northern slopes of the Harz Mountains. Its old town contains several interesting Gothic buildings and is characterized by its half-timbered houses, including the medieval Town Hall and the leaning Crooked House. Some of the quaint old houses which have escaped the numerous fires through the years are elaborately adorned with wood-carving.
