'''Windenburg''' is a [[world]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Get Together]]''. Its architectural design—dominated by timber-frameframed houses—and its structural design, in combination with modern city aspects, is heavily based on central and southern regions of Germany. Castle -like ruins can be found on the mainland and most of [[The IslandCrumbling Isle]] is surrounded by crumbling man-made walls. These ruins are similar toinspired by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_architecture:Gothic architecture|Gothic]] buildings in Europe and they indicate the old age of the city.

==Trivia==
* Windenburg is the first full-size world to be added to ''[[The Sims 4]]'' in a paid [[content pack]].
* It is the first world in ''The Sims 4'' released after world maps have been updated to show in color.
* It has the most number of lots for a ''The Sims 4'' world to date, with 27.
* It is also the world with the most [[neighborhood]]s in ''The Sims 4'', with 7.
* Windenburg appears to be based on or inspired by an [[Unreleased neighborhoods|unreleased neighborhood]] from ''[[The Sims 4]]'' base game.
**The unreleased world was first called Windenbourg; however, to fit its German inspiration, the name was changed to Windenburg.
*Windenburg's name translates from German and the "Winden" part could either refer to wind ("Wind") or morning glory ("Winde") while "Burg" is the German word for castle, which may be a reference to the castle ruins in [[The IslandCrumbling Isle]] and [[Ancient Ruins (neighborhood)|Ancient Ruins]] neighborhoods.
*Windenburg could also be named for the town of "Winden im Elztal" in Germany 
* The architecture of Windenburg is based on the traditional ''Fachwerkhaus'' style which is special to Germany and can be seen all around it.
* Most of the residents have German and Scandinavian names, e.g. [[Bjorn Bjergsen|Bjorn]] and [[Elsa Bjergsen]], [[Maaike Haas]], [[Ulrike Faust]], [[Gunther Munch|Gunther]], and [[Wolfgang Munch]].
* According to the description of the wind chimes object from ''[[The Sims 4: Backyard Stuff]]'', Windenburg has a sister city called Windemere.
* [[SimNation#Towns_and_suburbs|Old Country]] is mentioned in Windenburg, which might suggest the town to be part of the Old Country.
* Windenburg is the first and only world in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' to include a public pool.
* Sims will not be seen walking around the neighborhood unless ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed.{{confirm}}
