A Brief History
Like Frankfurt, Regensburg is one of the oldest cities in Germany with roots going all the way back to its early days as a Roman fort on the edge of the empire. Later, the city went on to become a center of trade and religion in the Holy Roman Empire. From here, kings, dukes, and bishops would rule the region that would later become Bavaria.
Regensburg’s old stone bridge (Steinerne Brucke), built in the mid-12th century, was the only bridge crossing the Danube between Nuremberg and Vienna. As a result, the city became a center for long distance trade. Later, it was awarded Free Imperial City status and business and trade really took off.
The city suffered through the wars and plagues that ravaged Europe but the old town survived even through the bombing campaigns of World War Two. Today, Regensburg is known for having one of the largest and best-maintained medieval city centers in Germany. In fact, the old town, with its more than 1500 medieval buildings, is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Regensburg Old Town
With over 1500 renovated, reconstructed, or refurbished medieval buildings, there is always something new to discover.
St. Peter’s Cathedral – Regensburger Dom
I remember the first time I saw this amazing gothic cathedral with its twin spires climbing into the sky-wow! St. Peter’s Cathedral is the most impressive Gothic cathedral in Bavaria. We were lucky enough to catch some of the boy’s choir performances on one trip and an organ recital on another.
Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady Regensburg
The name of this old catholic basilica is certainly a mouthful, and the interior is just as ornate. As far as Baroque basilicas go, Regensburg’s is high on the list and sure to impress.
Old Town Hall – Altes Rathaus
This 13th century gothic and baroque gem was the center of government for hundreds of years. The impressive clock tower and colorful, ornately decorated facade of the old town hall are a perfect example of medieval German architecture.
Roman Ruins
Records dating back to the Roman Empire identify a settlement and military fort where Regensburg center is today. The Romans were expert engineers and builders so it’s no wonder that some of their handiwork can still be found today. In fact, visitors can step back in time and enter the city through the oldest Roman structure in Germany, the Porta Praetoria.
