German work of art or architecture

Pick a German artist or architect, or a German work of art or architecture, and do a bit of research. (Certainly, musicians are "artists" too, but we will devote an entire discussion to them alone and their works in a couple weeks so let's focus here just on art and architecture.) Then, share your research in your own words with me and your peers. First, let us know what you have decided to focus on and what inspired you personally to make this choice of topic. Next, discuss at least three reasons, supported by your research, why your chosen artist or architect, or German work of art or architecture is important. Wrap up your post with a simple reflection on what you consider to be the most important cultural aspect of your topic
