Regensburg

Wellcome to Regensburg

What kind of stories did they make up about this city, - writers, politicians, the very big ones of world-history.

Yet they were right. Famous men and women fell in love at first glance with Regensburg, were seduced by its pleasant people, fascinating buildings and the unrivalled charm of its roads and sqaures.

Regensburg is one of the oldest towns in Germany.

Since the stone-ages, settlers lived in its so-called Donaubogen. The oldest name of a settlement is the celtic expression “Radasbona”.

Written testimonies of its history begin with the set-up of a Roman “castellum”, actually a kind of barracks for their soldiers around 79p.Chr. in the part of town that is today called “Kumpfmühl”.

The already mentioned celtic settlements had been there for centuries before the Romans came, giving the city the names of “Ratasbona” or “Ratisbona”.

City of towers, city of dreams. The incredible amount of 1200 historical buildings stand close by each other in Regensburg`s oldtown.

This city wants to tell a tale! Accept this offer, because there are not many cities, that invite their guests so openhearted and passionately into what it has experienced.
