Annual Pass

Augsburg

The Stadtwall, or city walls of Augsburg, are remnants of medieval fortifications that protected one of Germany's oldest cities. Founded in 15 BC by the Romans as Augusta Vindelicorum and named after Emperor Augustus, Augsburg boasts layers of history visible in its surviving walls. These walls date from various periods of expansion as the city grew and defended itself against invaders. Today, you can walk along sections of the Stadtwall and imagine the centuries of history they have witnessed, from Roman times through the medieval period and beyond.

Stadtwall Augsburg

Mittlerer Lech is a picturesque street and canal area in Augsburg's Lechviertel, or Lech Quarter, representing the heart of the city's historic craftsmen's heritage. This charming neighborhood features beautiful houses lining the canals, telling the story of medieval tanners, dyers, and skilled craftsmen who relied on the Lech's waters for their trades. The area showcases Augsburg's UNESCO-listed water management system, an engineering marvel that sustained centuries of craft production. Walking through Mittlerer Lech transports you back to medieval times when these waterways were vital to daily life and commerce.

Mittlerer Lech

The Rathausplatz in Augsburg centers on one of Europe's most impressive Renaissance buildings: the Town Hall designed by the visionary architect Elias Holl. With its foundation stone laid in 1615 and completed in 1620 on the exterior and 1624 inside, this building was revolutionary for its time as the first structure north of the Alps to exceed six stories. The crowning jewel is the Golden Hall, a breathtaking 552-square-meter space with a 14-meter ceiling adorned with murals and an ornate coffered ceiling designed by Johann Matthias Kager and finished in 1643. The hall hosted Joseph I's coronation banquet in 1690. Though heavily damaged during World War II bombing, the building was meticulously restored and reopened in 1985 for Augsburg's 2000th anniversary, standing today as the most significant secular Renaissance structure north of the Alps.
