Why Augsburg?

Augsburg is one of Germany's oldest cities: around 15 BC a Roman camp was founded here, which grew into the town of Augusta Vindelicum. In the 15th and 16th centuries, merchant families such as the Fuggers and the Welsers made Augsburg one of Europe's leading financial centres. The Augsburg Confession was presented here in 1530, and the Peace of Augsburg was concluded in 1555. Master builder Elias Holl shaped the Renaissance cityscape with his Town Hall. Since 2019, Augsburg's historic water management system has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
