Umm.... First of all that is not the profile of Stage 7, that is the profile of stage 10
And it is not a mistake, the riders often will passe the same road more that once, in this case the sprint comes after the two hard climbs and from the other side.
Here you got the same piece of road but now with the actual sprint and from the other side.

Deutschland Tour (2.1)
For obvious reason, as the race have been on hold from 2009–2017, there are not many ”real routes” of this race, so I thought it would be good to create a “variant” to prevent the same race to pop up every season in campaign mode.
Stage 1
The first stage is raced in northern Bavaria, starting in Würzburg. The city dates back to early Iron Age, first mentioned in writing about 700 AD.
Würzburg was the place of one of the worst witch hunts with more than 200 executions in the city itself and an estimated 900 in total burned in the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg between 1626–1631.
During WWII, almost 90% of the buildings, including all of the city's churches, cathedrals, and other important historic monuments were heavily damaged or destroyed by a brutal British air raid, despite the city not having any military or important industrial production, lots of civilians was killed.
From there we head almost straight east on small roads in the relative rural area and through the woods of Naturwaldreservat Brunnstube, reaching Bamberg after about 80 km. After that we have 6 laps passing the cobbled streets in the old town near Bamberger Dom (Catedral), on a route circulating Altenburg Castle.
The route is mildly hilly but the uphill finish up to Altenburg is quite hard, also the short cobbled section passed 6 times may wear on the riders.
Bamberg was first mentioned in 902, the Cathedral was first founded in 1002 and the current building is from the 13th century. "Town of Bamberg" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and absolutely worth a visit.
Altenburg dates back to at least 1109, the current building have been restored after it was burned down in 1553.
The Climbs:
Spitzenberg 2.7 km - 3.7% cat 4
Neudorf 1.2 km – 7% cat 3
Hotel Bergschlösschen – 800 m – 6.3% cat 4 (3 times)
Altenburg – 1.3 km – 6.7% (cat 3 - summit finish)
Cobbled sections:
Bamberg medieval town – 860 m (*** - 6 times)
Intermediate Sprints:
Prichsenstadt
Bamberger Dom

Deutschland Tour (2.1)
Stage 2
The second stage is raced in the northern part of federal state Hesse, starting in Fulda. Fulda developed around the Benedictine monastery of Fulda founded in 744. In the 13th century Fulda received city rights and in early 1700’s a Cathedral was build.
During the cold war Fulda was housing a large number of United States forces, due to its location close to the East German border. Today it is a city of about 70.000 people.
From central Fulda, we head straight north for Ascheberg, a northern city district located on a hill, having the first minor climb there (cat 4). At first we travel on small roads even gravel, through forest and farmland , having two KoM climbs and only passing smaller towns.
We are crossing Eder river in the town of Felsberg and now the landscape flattens out a bit, still heading straight north trough farmland, before we reach the first intermediate sprint in Baunatal just outside Kassel city, the remaining about 80 km of the stage will be raced in and around Kassel, including three KoM climbs at Wilhelmshöhe.
Archaeologically it is proven that there was a pre-Christian settlement, but the first time Kassel was mentioned (then Cassel) was in 913 AD, as a fortification. Soon also the monastery Ahnaberg was build and the settlement was walled. Kassel received city rights near the end of the 1100’s. From 1277 Kassel was the capital of Landgrafschaft Hessen (county Hesse).
The Climbs:
Aschenberg 0.7 km - 11.9% cat 4
Wolfersberg 5.4 km – 3.4% cat 4
Teufelskanzel – 3.6 km – 6.1% cat 3
Wilhelmshöhe (from Brasselsberg) – 4.9 km – 5.3% (cat 2)
Wilhelmshöhe (from Bergpark) – 6.0 km – 5.6% (cat 2)
Wilhelmshöhe (from Kassel) – 6.8 km – 5.7% (cat 2)
Intermediate Sprints:
Baunatal
Kassel north

Deutschland Tour (2.1)
Stage 3
The third stage is raced in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), starting in Osnabrück.
Osnabrück developed around St. Peter's Cathedral built in 785 AD, the construction of the present version of the church was begun in the 11th century.
Osnabrück played an important role as one of the host cities of the Westphalia peace in 1648, ending the Thirty Years' War between Catholics and Protestant.
Besides St. Peter's Cathedral, other important monument in the city includes Osnabrück Town Hall (1512) and St. Mary's Church originally from 10th century, present building Gothic style completed between 1430 and 1440.
One of the more obscure historical events in the city happened in 1996, when a IRA unit attacked the British Army Osnabrück Garrison, launching mortar bombs from a Ford Transit van, no one was injured
The 3rd stage will be the only one directly favouring the true sprinters, a 204 km long flat route. From Osnabrück we are heading north towards Bremen, following Bundesstraße 51 (federal road), first climbing the only categorized hill Schinkelberg then passing through some smaller towns including an intermediate sprint in Twistringen.
After about 110 km we react the outskirts of Bremen for the first time, but we are passing through for one loop on a circular route to the north of the city, with a sprint in Osterholz-Scharmbeck before heading back to Bremen, the final about 15 km will be races inside and around the city.
The origins of Bremen is unclear, it is clear that Germanic tribe settled near the mouth of river Weser before Christianization and findings near the market and Cathedral suggest a settlement in central Bremen in the 300-500 century.
Bremen:
The city was first mentioned by missionary Willehad in 782. Willehad was appointed first bishop of Bremen in 787, The first Bremen Cathedral was built of wood probably 789th.
From there the city grew fast and became an important player in the times of Hanseatic League.
When the old German Empire was dissolved in 1806, Bremen became an independent, sovereign state and added Free Hanseatic City to its name, together with capital city Berlin and Hamburg the only city states in the federal republic of Germany.
The Climbs:
Schinkelberg 1.1 km 3.5% cat 4
Intermediate Sprints:
Twistringen
Osterholz-Scharmbeck
