Oof, you’d be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.
I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc.
Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you’ll find cooler things and it’s closer .
I’m American, so predictably I’ve never been out of the country. If money weren’t an issue I’d love to travel to Germany, Japan, and China to start.
Why specifically Germany? And why is it at the top of your list?
I’ve got some German heritage, and I’ve always wanted to see the Black Forest. Plus there’s the Brandenburg gate and castle Neuschwanstein.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.
