regensburg is the fourth largest city in Bavaria. She is the center of the Upper Palatinate and is located at the northernmost point of the Danube. The Roman origins and the almost completely preserved medieval old town (Stone Bridge, St. Peter's Cathedral, Old Town Hall with Reichstag Hall) make Regensburg a much-visited travel destination. The old town of Regensburg and Stadtamhof have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006.
background
Regensburg is one of the oldest cities in Germany and is located at the northernmost point of the Danube and at the mouths of the Naab and Regen. This exposed point had been inhabited since the Stone Age. Recent excavations have opened Celtic graves from around 400 BC. Chr.
In written records, Regensburg appeared for the first time as a Roman cohort fort around 90 AD. In 179 AD the Roman legionary fort Castra Regina was built here, the main military base of the Roman province of Raetia. Around AD 400 the camp was slowly abandoned.
From around 500 Regensburg was the seat of the Bavarian dukes and was therefore called the first Bavarian “capital”. The diocese of Regensburg was founded in 739 by Saint Boniface, making it one of the oldest on German soil.
In the 9th century Regensburg was one of the most important cities in the East Franconian empire of the Carolingians. Due to long-distance trade as far as Paris, Kiev and Venice, Regensburg had its economic boom in the 12th and 13th centuries and was one of the most populous and prosperous cities. The construction of the stone bridge (around 1135-1146) is a sign of the prosperity at that time. In 1245, Emperor Friedrich II elevated Regensburg to the status of a Free Imperial City, which it remained until 1803.
From 1663 to 1803 the Parliament, as the territorial representation of the German states, a forerunner of today's Bundesrat. Since 1748 the princes of Thurn and Taxis resided as principal commissioners (representatives of the emperor at the Reichstag) in Regensburg.
By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 Regensburg became an electorate under the Imperial Arch Chancellor Karl Theodor von Dalberg. After the conquest by Napoleon, Regensburg became part of Bavaria in 1810. Regensburg fell considerably behind in its political and economic importance. This meant that industrialization largely bypassed Regensburg, but the medieval old town was largely preserved and the heavy bombing in the Second World War was mainly directed at the Messerschmitt aircraft factory in the west of the city, the railway facilities and the port. The destruction in the old town was less than 10%.
Only after the Second World War did Regensburg begin to flourish again. The establishment of the University of Applied Sciences, the fourth Bavarian State University and the settlement of Siemens, Infineon Technologies, Continental, Siemens VDO and BMW made a significant contribution to this.
In 2004 Regensburg exceeded the population limit of 150,000, including second homes. The difference to the 129,000 residents with main residence is explained by the approximately 25,000 students who partly live here but have their main residence elsewhere.
Regensburg has also been a pope city since 2005, because Joseph Ratzinger spent a long time in Regensburg during his academic career, and from 1969 he taught dogmatics and the history of dogma at the University of Regensburg. The so-called Papal House in Pentling is definitely worth a detour. In 2006, the year after his election, Pope Benedict XVI visited Regensburg as one of the first cities on his journey across Bavaria. He spent four days in the city that he himself describes as his home: “I'm really at home in Regensburg,” he said at the time. Among other things, the pontiff held a Holy Mass on the Islinger Feld, where the 16 m high cross built especially for this purpose still reminds of his visit.

The historic old town was added to the 2006 as an ensemble with around 1,200 individual monuments UNESCO World Heritage List been recorded.
Churches
In Regensburg you can find an extremely high number of historical churches and several, some of them former monasteries:
1 St. Peter's Cathedral, Domgarten, Domplatz 1. The cathedral church of the diocese of Regensburg is the most important sacred building in the city and a major work of Gothic architecture in southern Germany.
2 Collegiate Church of St. Johann, Krauterermarkt 4 (on the northwest corner of the cathedral). Originally a Gothic church from the 14th century, extensively remodeled during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It once served as the baptistery of Regensburg Cathedral and contains the bishop's and canon crypt.
3 Niedermünsterkirche, Niedermünstergasse 6. Church of the former canonical monastery of the Imperial Abbey of Niedermünster, today the seat of the episcopal ordinariate. There was already a church at this point around the year 700. Parts of the foundation walls are still preserved. The current building dates largely from 1146 and is in the Romanesque style. The interior was modernized and decorated in the Baroque style in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the roof structure also dates from this time. In Niedermünster there are the graves of Saints Erhard von Regensburg (a traveling bishop of the 8th century) and Albert von Cashel (an Irish monk from the same phase) as well as Duke Heinrich I of Bavaria (r. 948–955), his Mrs. Judith and her daughter-in-law Gisela of Burgundy (the wife of Duke Heinrich II.). The previous buildings discovered under the church (a Roman legionary camp and place of prayer as well as the church buildings from the Carolingian and Ottonian times) were part of the Document Niedermünster Photo-realistic and three-dimensional reconstruction (public tour Sun, Mon and public holidays 2.30 p.m., € 6, children up to 16 years free; registration, meeting point and ticket sales in the information center at Domplatz 5).
4 Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Old Chapel, Black Bear Street 7. The oldest church in Regensburg and thus one of the oldest in Bavaria. A Juno temple presumably stood at this point in Roman times. This is said to have been converted into a Christian chapel in the 7th century, the Palatine Chapel of the Agilolfingers, who ruled and Christianized from Regensburg in Bavaria. The church itself was laid out from 875 under King Ludwig the German (who temporarily resided in Regensburg) as a three-aisled basilica, using stones from the Roman city wall. However, this fell into disrepair after the royal palace was relocated. The core of today's building goes back to the Ottonian period, when King Heinrich II and his wife Kunigunde founded the collegiate monastery in 1002. The elevated choir, on the other hand, was not built until the middle of the 15th century and is in the late Gothic style. The interior, on the other hand, was radically redesigned in the second half of the 18th century, and the Rococo style has dominated here ever since. As a result, the church of the old chapel is one of the most important Rococo churches in Bavaria in terms of art history. It also has the canonical status of a Basilica minor.
5 Neupfarrkirche, Neupfarrplatz. Protestant parish and university church; built after the expulsion of the Jews and the destruction of the Jewish quarter in 1519; consecrated in 1540, conversion to the Evangelical Lutheran denomination two years later. Architecturally, it can be assigned mainly to the Renaissance, but also partly to the late Gothic. The altar from 1617 is worth seeing.
6 St. Kassian, St.-Kassians-Platz 1.
7 Former Minorite Church. Former church of the Franciscan monastery; profaned, today part of the historical museum.
8 St. Emmeram. Former abbey church of St. Emmeram Monastery, which was secularized in 1803 and then converted into Thurn und Taxis Castle. Today the parish church and minor basilica.

9 Dominican Church of St. Blaise, On the Mount of Olives 4.
10 Trinity Church, On the Mount of Olives 1. One of the first new Protestant church buildings in Bavaria, built 1627–31 according to plans by the architect Hanns Carl in the early Baroque style as a pillar-less hall church.

11 Holy Cross Monastery Church, Am Judenstein 10.
12 Parish Church of St. Rupert
13 Parish Church of the Sacred Heart, Kreuzgasse 20.
14 St. Leonhard, St.-Leonhards-Gasse 1. The Romanesque hall church was built around 1120/30 and was assigned to the Johanniterkommende of the same name, hence the designation as a crusader church.
St. Andrew (in Stadtamhof).
15 St. Oswald, Engelburgergasse 2. Evangelical.
.JPG/350px-St._Oswald_(Regensburg).JPG)
16 Schottenkirche St. Jakob, Jakobstrasse 3. Classic work of high Romanesque church architecture in southern Germany. Its north portal, the so-called Schottenportal, with its primeval and enigmatic pictorial work, which gives rise to various interpretations, is best known. Seminary church of the Regensburg seminary.
17 Carmelite Monastery of St. Joseph, Old Kornmarkt 7. Discalced Carmelite Monastery.
18 Obermünster Abbey. Former canon monastery, the church of which was one of the few buildings to be destroyed in the Second World War.
Castles, chateaux and palaces
Since Regensburg was a free imperial city, there are only two buildings that can be described as a castle or palace:
19 Thurn and Taxis Castle (St. Emmeram Castle). The former Benedictine monastery of St. Emmeram from the 8th century, south of Emmeramsplatz, was secularized in 1803. A few years later, the Princes of Thurn and Taxis bought it and had it converted into a residential palace in 1812; the architect was Jean Baptiste Métivier. Parts of the castle are still inhabited by members of the von Thurn und Taxis family. To determine opening hours you can visit the castle museum with cloister as part of guided tours as well as the stables museum and the treasury. In the princely palace, near the cash register, you enter Museum Cafe, in which you can comfortably bridge the waiting time until the start of the tour. The excellent can be found in the immediate vicinity of the castle in the west Princely brewery to Regensburg; Early reservation is recommended.
20 Ducal court, Kornmarkt. Palatinate of the Bavarian dukes, who resided in Regensburg during the rule of the Agilolfingers from the 6th century onwards. From 791 at the latest it was the royal palace of the Carolingians, and there is evidence that Charlemagne also stayed here. Arnulf von Kärnten moved his palatinate to the St. Emmeram monastery, whereupon the old palatinate lost its importance. Under the Wittelsbach family, it was used again as a Hezogshof in the 12th and 13th centuries. The current structure of the building dates from around 1200 in the lower part (Romanesque arched windows in the east facade), the upper floors were added later. The neighboring one, connected to the Herzogshof by a Schwibbogen Roman tower probably served as the keep of the Palatinate.
Buildings
The 21 Stone bridge with the bridge gate (construction 1135–1146) is one of the most important bridge structures of the European Middle Ages and was a model for the Charles Bridge in Prague and the Rhone Bridge in Avignon, among others. When it was inaugurated, it was the only bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Vienna and, for 800 years, the only continuous bridge over the Danube in Regensburg. The stone bridge is the most famous landmark of Regensburg and belongs to the world cultural heritage.
22 Old Town Hall. The oldest part dates from the middle of the 13th century. The official seat of the mayor and part of the city administration are located here to this day. In the town hall there is also a museum that provides information about the Reichstag, which always took place in Regensburg from 1594 (from 1663 to 1806 "Perpetual Reichstag" in the Reichssaal of the town hall). Part of the world heritage.
23 Salzstadel
24 Porta Praetoria. North gate of the Roman legionary camp.
25 Royal villa. Built for King Maximilian II in 1854–56 in the English neo-Gothic style (so-called "Maximilian style"), the design was made by the Munich architect Ludwig Foltz. Today the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation.

26 Ostentor. Gothic entrance gate to the city from the east, built around 1300.
The 1 historical Wurstkuchl an der Donau claims to be the oldest sausage roasting house in the world.
.jpg/170px-Goldener_Turm_(Regensburg).jpg)
The cityscape is also shaped by the so-called Patrician towers (Gender towers) such as the house on the Heuport or the Golden Cross on Haidplatz, which served as an emperor's hostel for Karl V, where he fathered a son with the Regensburg belter's daughter Barbara Blomberg, who went down in history as Don Juan de Austria.
The one created in 1260 27 Golden tower on Wahlenstrasse is probably the most famous of the Regensburg family towers, with which the patrician families displayed their wealth and influence, although the towers are mostly empty inside. The Baumburger Tower is also worth seeing. Not least because of these towers that shape the cityscape, Regensburg is sometimes referred to as the “northernmost city in Italy”, while for Johann Wolfgang Goethe it was the “most German of all cities”.

- Regensburg sausage ("Regensburg", "Geezer"):
- According to legend, the sister of the Bockwurst, which is only 10 cm long and more than 4 cm thick, was widely used in the old Bavarian region and was first made by a Regensburg butcher in the second half of the 19th century and is known in its home region after the sound of biting into it Knacker, another theory derives the name of neck meat (Bavarian: Gnack). The smoked boiled sausage is made only from fine or coarse sausage meat from a lean pork, filled in beef wreath intestines. The term "Original Regensburger" is protected for the sausages produced in the inner city area.
- It is consumed hot or cold, pure or with a snack with sweet mustard, pickled cucumber, horseradish and also with sauerkraut. At the Regensburg sausage salad they are processed with a marinade of vinegar, oil, chopped onions and mustard, as "Regensburger roll with everything" ("Knackersemmel") it is seared, cut in half and sold with horseradish, mustard and cucumber slices, especially at the Regensburg Christmas market.
- Reichstag sweets:
- The confectionery made from almonds and dates with a chocolate coating, which is also sold elsewhere under this name, has, according to tradition, its name from the "everlasting Reichstag in Regensburg" (the representation of the estates in the Holy Roman Empire from 1663 to 1806) where it was offered to the deputies free of charge.
- The snack was invented in 1663 by a cook from Regensburg, it was only later that Duke Cesar Gabriel de Choiseul-Praslin, staying as a guest in Regensburg, brought the recipe to France and Belgium.
- Danube mussels: a chocolate treat.
- Nut roll are croissants with a nut filling
