German Baroque Architecture emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, characterized by grandeur, dramatic forms, and elaborate details. This style often features large domes, intricate facades, and ornate interiors, reflecting the power and wealth of the Holy Roman Empire during this period. Key examples include the Zwinger Palace in Dresden and the Church of St. Nicholas in Leipzig. Architects like Balthasar Neumann and Johann Balthasar Neumann played significant roles in shaping this architectural style, blending influences from Italian Baroque with local traditions to create unique structures that emphasized both beauty and functionality.
