Why Regensburg?

Regensburg looks back on almost two thousand years of history. Around AD 179 the Romans built the legionary fortress Castra Regina here, and its northern gate still survives today. In the Middle Ages Regensburg was one of the wealthiest trading cities in southern Germany, as its patrician towers and the Stone Bridge show. From 1663 to 1806 the Perpetual Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire met in the Old Town Hall. Since 2006 the Old Town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
