Why does old German architecture look better than modern architecture?
Old German architecture is often considered more aesthetically pleasing than modern architecture due to its intricate details, craftsmanship, and historical significance. The use of traditional materials such as timber, stone, and intricate carvings give old German buildings a sense of timelessness and charm.
