Here the scholars disagree. In Germany there are several areas in the Thuringia/Lower Saxony/Hesse border area that claim to be the center of Germany. Different calculation methods and perspectives lead to different results. No matter how: One of the geographic centers is very close to the village of Blankenbach.

This is where the 51st parallel and the 10th longitude intersect; this is where the confluence point 51°N 10°E is located. Assuming that the 51st parallel roughly bisects Germany in a north-south direction and the 10th longitude roughly bisects Germany in a west-east direction, this confluence point can certainly be seen as the center of Germany. The information board nearby points this out, as well as the fact that the confluence point is 43 meters away in the field.

You can drive there or walk. If you don't, you won't have missed much, except that you've visited an interesting place with a nice view.
