So close to the sun
Are you an early riser? If so, then here in priceless land you have the chance to be the first people in Germany to see the sun in the morning. That may sound unique to many outsiders. For us it goes without saying. Because the sun rises first here in Germany. We are not only the easternmost district in Germany, we are also the most punctual. Our clocks are the most accurate. Because the 15th meridian, which determines the time for Central Europe, runs directly through Görlitz. The soul of our district of Görlitz are about 250,000 inhabitants who live in 39 communities and 14 cities. These numbers sound very sober, as they say nothing about how incredibly beautiful it is in priceless land. Often one cannot stop being amazed. For example at sunrise in Kromlauer Park. When the Rakotzbrücke closes in a circle in the mirror-smooth water, your heart can already warm up. Morning grouches should be told to calm down that the sunsets in the priceless country also have their very special charm.
While the sun wanders over our homeland, this wonderful area can be experienced in all its beauty. Mountains worth hiking with a wonderful view, picturesque valleys with babbling rivers, historic towns with a time travel character, secluded forests with guaranteed mushrooms, dreamlike villages with unique wooden architecture, fairytale castles, lakes suitable for water sports and idyllic parks - the list of places worth seeing is long. Visitors are often overwhelmed with capturing everything within a few days. That's why we recommend staying here forever.

Jeanette and Nick Kullaki | new citizen
Country love is IN
"The fact that we just got a garden and dream apartments here, exactly according to our wishes, still makes us happy." The 57-year-old Jeanette Kullak moved from Berlin to Görlitz in May 2022. In doing so, she followed her son Nick, who had “made his way over” to Priceless Land a year earlier. He ventured into self-employment at Demianiplatz in Görlitz with his shop "Das Grüne Gold", a specialist shop for hemp products. "I could neither have found nor paid for such a centrally located shop in Berlin," says the 33-year-old with certainty. It was only a logical step for him to catch up with his mother. The big city, the stress and the long distances put a lot of strain on Jeanette. In Görlitz she can finally breathe again. She made friends immediately and she helps her son organize his business. She loves spending her free time at Lake Berzdorf and growing fruit and vegetables in her own garden.

Ralf Ivan | new citizen
From Singapore to the priceless country
After studying sports management in Cologne, Ralf Iwan worked for many years in Great Britain, Arabia, South Africa, Brazil and Singapore as a trainer, lecturer and coach. A trip took him and his wife to Görlitz in 2020. They fell in love with the city and two years later moved into a house in Tauchritz on Lake Berzdorf. “We were surprised that we would find our perfect new home here so quickly.” Ralf Iwan quickly became an enthusiastic ambassador for the region. As a lecturer for international universities, he regularly invites his students from India, China, Abu Dhabi and many other countries to seminars. "For those who come from a megacity like Delhi or Beijing, this is paradise," he explains with a smile. "Like me, they appreciate the peace and quiet, nature, the quick connection to Dresden, Berlin and Wroclaw, the international location in the border triangle and the countless outdoor sports opportunities."
Weinhold family returnees
Back there
“We are really happy about our return. We have found so much here that is really priceless for us,” says Stine Weinhold happily. She and her husband lived in the Stuttgart metropolitan area for many years. With the birth of the daughter in 2017, the desire to have more time for the family grew. In 2021 they returned to their old homeland. The Weinhold family has not regretted this step for a single day. Here they now enjoy an invaluably higher quality of life and closeness to family. They were able to revive old friendships and financially they are no worse off than before. Although the net income here is about 800 euros lower, the lower costs completely compensate for the deficit. "In addition, we not only save money, but also time thanks to the short distances." That's not only the house of the grandparents, but also the school just down the street. "Maybe I'll soon be able to practice my old hobby, equestrian sports, again," says Stine happily.
