Welcome to Regensburg

The City of Regensburg which is more than 2000 years old is located at the northernmost point of the Danube about an hour's drive from both Munich and Nuremberg. With almost 164,000 inhabitans, Regensburg has become the center of Eastern Bavarian conurbation with 2.5 million inhabitants which in past years has experienced a remarkable economic and technological upswing. And with the fall of the Iron Curtain of the earlier Western European border it has made its way back into the center of Europe.

The document which mentions the founding of the city large fragments of a stone inscription from the Roman camp is the oldest in Germany. The old part of Regensburg is now under an order of preservation and the ensemble of 1,400 monuments which it encompasses doesn’t just include churches. The “stone bridge” (Stei­nerne Brücke), one of the main items on the list, is Regensburg’s “eighth wonder of the world”; the order also protects the “Gothic Old City Hall” (Altes Rathaus), various patrician palaces and the “princely castle of Thurn & Taxis” (Fürstliches Schloss).
