Welcome to our beautiful city!
Regensburg is one of Germany’s most visited city tour destinations and has become a real
attraction for visitors, not least because of its declaration ten years ago as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Immerse yourself in 2000 years of history, be enchanted by the unique charm of
the city and enjoy the lively and friendly culture.
Regensburg is a lively city of style with much to offer. Modern shops with historical façades
stand shoulder to shoulder with historic sites, and modern bars are to be found in medieval
vaulted rooms. This harmonious transition between old and new is virtually unique to
Regensburg. The cosy cafés, traditional taverns and restaurants are on hand for a much
needed break if your legs begin to tire following an afternoon‘s shopping. In the evening, why
not enjoy the varied cultural events on offer or get involved in the vibrant night life. This tourist
guide aims to assist you as you discover the city for yourself.
I hope your time with us is memorable, that you experience some wonderful moments and
enjoy your stay in our City of Regensburg
Best wishes
Joachim Wolbergs
The Lord Mayor, City of Regensburg

A Steinerne Brücke
T
he Stone Bridge, was constructed from 1135 to 1146 in Romanesque
style. The bridge was originally built with 16 supporting arches giving it
a total length of 330 metres. In 1487, the 16th arch was filled in with
the construction of the ‘Salzstadel‘ at the Wiedfang channel on the
city side of the bridge. The arches have a width ranging from 10 to 17
metres and the up-river points of their supporting columns are equipped
with ice-breakers. Originally reinforced with stone in the river bed,
the columns are now supported by cement to create the legendary
‘Regensburg Danube whirlpools’.
In the 13th century, the bridge was equipped with 3 fortified towers.
The ‘black tower’ which was located on the ‘Stadtamhof’ side, was
eliminated in 1810 together with its moats, small defence towers and a
drawbridge because of war damage. The middle tower was removed
back in 1784 after ice impact made it unstable. The only remaining
tower today is the ‘bridge tower’ or debtor’s prison on the city or
southern side. This tower is decorated with two clocks and paintings
depicting battles from the 30-year war.
LEGEND
Legend has it that the cathedral builder and the bridge builder had a bet with each
other as to who would finish their project first. As the construction of the cathedral
began to progress much faster, the bridge builder decided to make a pact with the
devil and won. However, the bridge builder had to promise the devil the first 3 souls
that would cross the bridge and thus could not savour his victory. However, a hooded
monk wisely advised him to send 3 animals across first and 2 roosters and a dog were
the first to cross the bridge. The devil was so furious that he made a huge hole in the
stone railing which could be seen as proof for many years.

B Porta Praetoria
& Castra Regina
C
astra Regina was established under the Emperor Marc Aurel in 179 AD
as a military camp for 6000 men with its strategic location being the
northernmost point on the Danube. This fort was approximately 450 x
550 metres large with a V-shaped surrounding ditch measuring 6 metres
wide and 3 metres deep. The 70-90 cm wall base (on which the fort wall
measuring 1.8 metres thick and 9 metres high stood with its 30 towers
and 4 entrance gates) can still be seen today at certain places including the
porta praetoria, the Dachauplatz multi-storey car park, Am Königshof, and
Ernst-Reuter- Platz.
The north gate of the fort, once called Porta Aquarum (water gate), was
renamed after the completion of the street ‘Via Praetoria’, from where it
got its present name, Porta Praetoria. The area was unearthed in 1890
after it was included in the construction of the Bischöfliches Brauhaus
(bishop’s brewery) in the late Middle Ages. The prevailing view is that it
used to be a double gate with two arches and an east and west tower. The
towers each had 2 floors with 5 round-arched windows to defend against
attacks. Another windowed storey was also located above their 4-metre
wide doors. The archway still in existence is made from 13 tapered
limestones which fit against each other to exact precision.
Along with the larger Porta Nigra in Trier (180 AD), the Porta Praetoria is
the oldest above-ground structure north of the Alps.

C Salzstadel
S
8
alt routes are the oldest trading routes in Europe, twisting from Italy up over
the Alps to the north and east. Salt was often so valuable that many soldiers
had their wages paid out in salt rather than money. During the 13th century,
however, salt originated from the salt mines of Reichenhall from where it
travelled through Passau and then up the Danube to Regensburg. From
there, it would be further distributed at the most important transfer station of
that day and age. The buying and selling of this ‘white gold’ was run by the salt
lords and was only taken over by the state in the 16th century. Horse-drawn
carts, with often as many as 40 horses per cart, would bring the salt to the
depot (Salzstadel) up until 1616. The salt would be stored in 3 main floors
and 5 additional attic floors that were equipped with a complex rope-pull
system to manage the flourishing trade. As the original wood construction of
the depot could not bear the weight of the salt, the wood beams were later
replaced by stone supports. The depot was completely restored in 1991.
As Regensburg qualified as a free city, it had the right to collect tolls from ships.
The ships would travel through a channel (the Wiedfang channel which has
since been filled in) and would be charged a toll. The province of Bavaria
wanted to avoid paying this toll so built another salt depot in Stadtamhof
in 1600. Many ships were then forced back underneath the north side of
the stone bridge to Salzstadel in order to pay the toll. In 1606 the city of
Regensburg hired Hanns Heygl, also a captain, to take control of the situation.
He stood watch on the bridge with his mighty axe, where he would hack the
ropes of the ships as they were docked and would send them back into the
dangerous currents making them unable to unload their cargo.
D Engelburgergasse Nr. 8:
Der Unterschlupf von Adam Weishaupt
T
he founder of the Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt, lived in the
Engelburggasse in Regensburg from 1785 to 1787. This is suggested
on an 18th century engraving, where the house with the number
8 is visible in the background. On May 1st 1776, the order of the
‘Federation of the Perfectibilists‘ was founded by Weishaupt in Ingolstadt.
This order would later be renamed the ‘Order of the Illuminati’ (from
the Latin meaning “the enlightened”). Despite what many films and
books claim, the goal of the order had nothing to do with sinister
and evil powers. On the contrary - a ‘light of reason’ which was long
oppressed by church dogmas was to be exposed in order to create a
new world order. The aim was a complete reform of the government,
religion, and education. Virtue, wisdom, and science should prevail over
persecution and despotism. High-ranking noblemen and celebrities of
the time, such as Goethe, became members of the Illuminati.
In 1785, the Bavarian sovereign Karl Theodor banned the Illuminati
in the whole of Bavaria. Adam Weishaupt fled to what was then the
free city of Regensburg on 16th February 1785 dressed as a craftsman.
On July 20th 1785, the priest and fellow Illuminati member Johann
Jakob Lanz visited him. As both were walking near the city gate, they
encountered a heavy storm. As if God was outraged by his bold
affiliation with the Illumati, Lanz was struck by lightning and he was killed
immediately. A list of members of the Illuminati was found in his clothing.
The free city of Regensburg was then pressured to extradite Weishaupt.
Bavaria even commissioned spies to arrest Weishaupt the second he
set foot on Bavarian soil (for example Bavarian Stadtamhof). Weishaupt
fled from Regensburg to Gotha’s ducal court in 1787. However, the
Illuminati continued to be slandered and persecuted while Weishaupt
attempted to clear his name and rehabilitate the order. He never
succeeded in doing this and later died in 1830.

E Keplerhaus, Keplerstraße 5
J
ohannes Kepler is renowned for his established laws on physics and planetary
movement theories. Born on Dec 27th 1571, he lived in two different
houses in Regensburg. He died in the Keplerhaus in 1630.
Kepler taught in Linz and had to leave Regensburg frequently to support his
mother who was accused of witchcraft in Leonberg and Güglingen, or to
spend time in Ulm where he printed the Rudolphic tables. Kepler travelled
to many cities with the title ‘the emperor’s mathematician’, and moved to
Sagan in 1628 to serve for General Wallenstein. However, he left part of his
belongings behind in Regensburg which indicated that he did intend to return
one day. Amongst these belongings was a handwritten list of his possessions.
This list is currently on display in the Keplerhaus. Having returned and while
travelling on to Linz, Kepler became extremely ill in Regensburg and died
very suddenly. He is buried in an unknown location in Regensburg’s inner
city.

F Goliathhaus
T
he ‘Goliath House’ (Goliathhaus), built in 1260, is considered one of the
most well-known landmarks of Regensburg with its painting of David and
Goliath from the year 1573. Along with Haus Heuport, this is the largest
‘city castle’ in the inner city and is located on the southern base of the
old Roman fort. It is likely that the name is not derived from the biblical
epic, but rather from the name ‘Goliards’. Theology students were called
Goliards after their guardian angel “Golias”. It is believed that the present
Goliath house was built on the location of the quarters in which the
travellers often stayed. The house was subsequently the headquarters of
the Tundorfer patrician family, later being taken over by the Dollingers,
Mallers and the Tucher patricians from Nuremberg.
11
G Rathaus, Reichstag
& Folterkammer
R
egensburg City Hall was built over multiple centuries. The tower
which was built in 1260 is especially noteworthy. This 55-metre high
tower forms part of Regensburg’s postcard silhouette. Even more
well-renowned is the Reichssaal (Parliament Hall). Not only important
as a work of art, the Reichsaal was also the location of the first German
Parliament. This parliament was not democratically elected. The
emperor was required to meet with a collection of representatives in
order to make legal, administrative, and military decisions.
The location of the Reichstag continued to change from city to city
up until 1663, when it became the ‘perpetual parliament’ based in
Regensburg. Because representatives were not physically present, a
congress of ministers would continually meet to represent the rulers,
princes, electors, and imperial cities. But the City Hall was not just a
place for conventions and intellectual discussions; powerful forms of
persuasion were practiced in the cellar to expose the truth.
The torture chamber in Regensburg is one-of-a-kind in Germany and
should be on every visitor’s list. Everything has been left in its original
condition; from the chamber layout to each device and contraption.
Pain interrogation had been implemented since the beginning of the
14th century to force confessions, as a confession was imperative for an
official conviction. An extraordinary tour through the basement of the
city hall will show the prison cells and torture instruments. This trip back
through time is an absolute must!
Entrance with guided tours only:
every half hour from 9.30 a.m.-12.00 and from 1.30 p.m.-4.00 p.m.
English guided tour: April-Oct daily 3 p.m.

H Schloss St. Emmeram,
Thurn und Taxis
T
he former abbey and Benedictine monastery at St. Emmeram has
been owned by the Thurn und Taxis royal family since 1812. The royal
family moved to Regensburg in 1748 to represent the emperor at
the ‘perpetual Reichstag’. After the old empire was dissolved, Prince
Karl Alexander received the monastery as partial compensation for
surrendering his rights to the Bavarian postal system to the state. During
the 19th century, this complex comprising several hundred rooms
was reconstructed to create one of the largest private residences in
Europe. The museum area of the residence, cloister, royal stables and
treasure chamber provide a comprehensive insight to 1000 years of
monastery tradition, as well as the lifestyle of one of the most important
aristocratic families in Europe. Experience the cloisters with its medieval
flair, or enjoy the splendour of the rococo manor house and European
craftsmanship in the treasure chambers. The royal stables, which were
originally constructed in 1832, are now home to the carriage museum.
With over 70 vehicles and carriages, it is the hugest collection of
aristocratic carriages in the world.

Dreieinigkeitskirche
T
14
he Church of the Holy Trinity, located on the Gesandtenstrasse, was
built in the midst of the Thirty Years War. This was one of the first
evangelical churches in Bavaria. Construction began on July 4th 1627,
and was completed only four-and-a-half years later on December
5th 1631. The original benches dating back to 1630-31 are still used
today. The intricate wood carvings on the back of the choir chairs are
a highlight especially worth seeing. The poor box, which dates back to
1632, originally stood in the middle isle but is now located in a showcase
near the pulpit rise.
The original design of the church was supposed to come from the
architect Matthias Stang from Pfalz-Neuburg, but because it arrived
too late, Johann Carl from Nuremberg, an armourer, fortress architect
and engineer, was commissioned. This design has regional and Dutch
influences, with the flat look of the longhouse which resembles
the Lusthaus in Stuttgart designed by Georg Beers. The structure
also conforms to other building styles in Regensburg with a tower
homogenous to the Jakobskirche and Neupfarrkirche. Particularly
interesting is the columnless design of longhouse; the gallery is actually
the only thing supported in the building by columns.
Paintings in the church, such as the full body portrait of Luther and
Melanchton, originate from the 17th century. Other attractions include
the small cemetery, running as a narrow strip alongside the church,
which includes a row of baroque-styled grave monuments, as well as
the last resting place of former foreign parliament members. But above
all, do not forget to climb up the tower where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the ‘old city’!

Ireland and Scotland) founded the St. Jakob Abbey in around 1090. Construction
of the abbey and portal were finished in 1200. It is considered one of the most
meaningful works of occidental art. Experts believe that all of the figures portrayed
were once painted and some even gold or silver-plated with the holes being
once filled with gems. The exact interpretation or meaning of the portal is still in
debate. One widely accepted theory by Franz Dietheuer, states: the arch above
the door separates the heavens from the last judgement below where Satan, evil
beings, infidel Jews, heathens, and bad Christians are all to face trial. Christ stands
in the middle with 6 apostles on each side to create an even balance. Flanked on
the outside are two saints: Emperor Charlemagne and Archbishop Patrick. The
other figures and numerous arches have received many interpretations ranging
from the planetary motions, wind, signs of earth, the antichrist Saladin, and further
interpretation is still required today. Most theories have religious connotations
dealing with Judgement Day and the resurrection. The monastery was then run by
Scottish abbots in 1520. Despite it being well managed, it declined during the trials
and tribulations of secularization. The administration was passed on to bishops in
1866, and the building has since been used as a priest seminary.

his square is named after the Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, an
honorary citizen of Regensburg. It has been a traffic intersection dating as
far back as the ‘Castra Regina’ times, where it was located in front of the
fort’s Roman wall. In medieval times, the square was home to an arsenal,
granary, corn warehouse, and stables.
The presidential headquarters (now the police headquarters) are located
at the north end of the square. This classical building was built by the
then prince and Archbishop of Regensburg, Carl von Dalberg in 1805 for
the French envoy and ‘perpetual parliament’. This building was the first to
introduce classicism to the city, which had previously a purely medieval
image. The six massive limestone columns with Corinthian capitals are
especially striking. Its counterpart across the square is the city theatre
built for public use in 1804. The theatre was previously only accessible
to nobles and the elite. In 1980/81, the square was renovated to
accommodate an underground garage. This construction project added
the 2 water fountains, a new cobbled surface, and the southern terrace.
Over the south-west corner of the square is the Benedictine Abbey
of St. Jakob. Across the square in the north-eastern corner is the
Erbprinzenpalais (Palace to the Heir to the Throne), which Otto Krafft v.
Prüfening built as a hostel for the cloister in 1701. Since 1815, this has
been owned by the Thurn & Taxis family. Nestled in the south-eastern
corner near the police headquarters, is the Schneckbachhaus. Here, the
first evangelical service in Regensburg was held in 1541. The building
received its current Baroque-styled make-over in 1742. It also served
as legation for the Duke of Württemberg. Today, Bismarckplatz is one of
Regensburg’s most beautiful and communicative squares!
L Haidplatz
H
‘Haidplatz’ derives its name from a wasteland that is sparsely
overgrown, known as a ‘Haide’. The ‘Haid’ as it was often referred
to as, was originally much larger and open. During the middle ages,
the square shrunk in size due to surrounding construction, but it
still offered ample room for various events. Documents from the
12th century state that the ‘Haid’ had been host for large Knight
Tournaments, and one chronicle reported over 300 knights for
a particular tournament in 1393. The area also attracted many
jugglers, inventors, and exhibitionists to perform. In 1673 there was a
legendary performance by the Frenchman Charles Bernovin, who fell
to his death as he attempted to tight-rope across the square strapped
with fireworks to his body. This square is enclosed by several historical
buildings, such as the “Neue Waag” or ‘New Scale’ (Haidplatz 1); a
patrician house that was changed in 1441 to the “Stadtwaage” or “City
Scales”. The ‘Arch’ (Haidplatz 3 & 4) is a veritable Gothic construction,
whose massive front defines the square with its overwhelming
appearance. The former inn, ‘Zum Goldenen Kreuz’ (to the Golden
Cross) has a castle- like look and once served as quarters for highranking diplomats, princes, kings, and emperors. The elegant facade
of Haidplatz 8 is the Thon-Dittmer-Palais. This complex holds the
Department of Culture, the city library, the adult educational centre,
and a theatre. The 4 wings of the building enclose an intimate
courtyard, which is used today for open-air events. In the basement of
the south wing is an area for various art exhibitions as well as the 14th
century Sigismund Chapel.
17
M Alter Kornmarkt
T
18
he Romans had used this area to house their officers, prefects, crew
quarters, and baths. In 400 AD, the Germanic tribe called the Bavarii, left
the Castra Regina, and declared Regensburg the capital of Bavaria with
the Corn market as their residence. The residence was expanded in 850
for the Carolingian palace in addition to the Palatinate Chapel (later called
the Old Chapel), which were added at this time. The emperor, bishops,
and representatives also held their meetings for the Reich (empire)
here. The ‘Herzogshof’ (Duke’s Court) is now a hotel worth seeing!
It is still maintained by the Wittelsbachern, who resided in the building
until 1245. The Herzoghof is connected with an arched buttress to
the Römerturm or Roman tower, formerly known as the Heidenturm
or Pagan-Tower. The tower is 28 meters high with 4-meter thick walls.
It served as a place of refuge from attacks, as well as an archive and
treasure chamber. For a long period of time the Corn Market was used
not only for impressive military parades and tournaments, but also
bloodthirsty justice of the middle ages. Up until 1830, it served as the
grain market for Regensburg, which was later moved to Haidplatz.
Neighboring the Corn Market is the Niedermünsterstift
(Niedermünstergasse), a convent housing the resting place of Saint
Erhard (700AD). The convent was rather liberal as it allowed women to
withdraw from sisterhood and even wed after retirement. The convent
had connections to the house of the Bavarian Duke and enjoyed many
imperial freedoms, which remained in place until secularization. The
Niedermünster Church is actually the 4th church to stand here today.
All four churches have had the exact same measurements, beginning
at the head of Saint Erhard’s tomb. Also located on the square is the
Karmelitenkloster St. Josef (Carmelite Cloister), whose foundation was
laid in 1641 by Emperor Ferdinand III and completed in 1672. The
‘Echter Regensburger Karmelitengeist” (medicinal water) was created by
Father Ulrich Eberskirch in 1721 and is very well known. Noteworthy
here is the western façade in baroque style.
N Regensburger Dom
T
he first church stood on the grounds of the present St. Peter’s Cathedral
as far back as 700 AD. A cathedral which was subsequently built there
burned down several times before the construction of the cathedral we
can see today began in the year 1273. This new cathedral, however,
was not completed until the year 1870/72, 600 years later! The famous
105-metre tall spires were only finished in the last 10 years of the
construction.
Inside the cathedral you can see the famous four part “Annunciation
Group” with the ”Erminold Maria“. It refers back to the alleged “Erminold
craftsman”, who carved out and colourfully painted a figure of Mary and
the famous laughing Angel Gabriel in about 1280. On the two western
pillars, the figures are juxtaposed to one another at the nave crossing.
Mary‘s hand is raised slightly to greet the angel and in her other hand
she is holding a book. St. Peter and Paul are portrayed in stone on the
eastern pillars of the crossing, which were constructed in 1320 and
1360-1370 respectively. And since 2009, the cathedral now houses the
largest free-hanging organ in the world with 80 registers.
OPENING HOURS: April-October 6.30a.m.-6p.m.
November-March 6.30a.m.-5p.m.
CATHEDRAL TREASURES
The cathedral’s treasure has both flourished and dwindled since the 10th
century; many objects were added to the collection and many sold to
finance the cathedral’s construction. A special guided tour will reveal its
many valuable relics and liturgical artefacts.

O Neupfarrplatz
R
egensburg had one of the oldest Jewish communities in Germany, with
a Talmud university as well as a cemetery located on the outskirts of
the city. The community, including students, had a population between
400-600 people and created a ‘city within a city’. This micro-city
was located at the present day Neupfarrplatz and included some
surrounding buildings: approximately 30 houses were connected with
bridges and underground passageways. It was a walled-in enclosure
with many doorways that separated it from the Christian communtiy
surrounding it. The “ghetto” was destroyed in 1519, triggered perhaps
by Regensburg’s economic depression, jealousy and Anti-Semitism.
After the death of Emperor Maximillian I, who had guaranteed
protection for the Jews, the Christian community quickly displayed
their long withheld hatred. Council members confronted the Jewish
community and gave them 4 days to leave the city. They were allowed
to take all their personal belongings, except the Christian objects that
the Jews held as collateral from business trades. To their own dismay,
the Jews chose to destroy their holy objects that they could not take
with them rather than hand them over to the Christians. During the
winter months, the Jews were then driven out of the city. Two ships
were provided in the Danube for the Jews to leave, while many settled
across the river in Stadtamhof, or went on to Sallern. Demolition of the
ghetto was quick and even described as ‘God’s work’.
Maria’s chapel of worship was erected shortly thereafter, and the
people celebrated with a pilgrimage. The square was a parking area
until 1995, when it was redesigned and excavation unearthed parts of
the synagogue und many mugs with golden coins.
20
P Stadtamhof
I
n the middle ages, with about 2000 inhabitants, Stadtamhof was a small Bavarian
neighborhood in the middle of the independent city Regensburg and thus often a
hot bed of conflict. Earliest evidence shows that this area was first settled in 981 as
an estate belonging to the Emmeram Cloister. It reached city status in 1496, and in
1924 became incorporated with the city of Regensburg. It sunk deep into poverty
after the war, before flourishing to its present day charm.
The clock still ticks a bit different in Stadtamhof, even today. Residents enjoy the
offset location on the banks of the Danube where they are a stone’s throw to
the city, yet still set apart. Small shops and stores are still run by the same families
generations old. You stumble upon many picturesque nooks and idyllic courtyards.
Its’ historical status also offers many sights worth seeing such as the Rococo church
and the former Monastery Church St. Mang. The 2-story former salt depot,
Andreasstadel (Andreas Depot) is also quite interesting. Today it is a hotel, cafe, art
academy, movie theatre and houses private apartments. The depot, dating back to
the 16th century, originally competed with the larger salt trade across the river and
is the oldest secular building still standing in Stadtamhof today.
Across the Europa Canal is the city’s main gate and a restored locomotive from
the Valhalla train, which up until 1960 brought passengers to Wörth an der Donau.
Also in existence today is the Katharine Hospital and Spitalkirche (Hospital Church),
along with their ever beloved and spacious beer garden.
21
Q Walhalla
T
he Walhalla stands majestically above Donaustauf, just over six miles
east of Regensburg – a vast temple of marble. It rears up out of the dark
greenery around and can be seen on the horizon from far away with its
huge entrance.
Initiated by the Bavarian King Ludwig I, a significant, neoclassical edifice
in the Doric style was created by the architect Leo von Klenze. It is not
only the exterior that presents a tremendous picture but the interior as
well, the „Cella“: an impressive pantheon. This was opened on October
18, 1842, after 12 years of construction. It houses 128 marble busts
decorated with gold ornaments and 64 tablets depicting significant
themes from Germanic mythology. Some of the luminaries featured are
Johannes Kepler, Immanuel Kant, Martin Luther and many more.
King Ludwig I is also represented by a statue, which was erected for him
in 1890.
The entire light-grey marble structure is approximately 130 metres long,
91 metres wide and 60 metres high. The temple itself is 20 metres high,
approximately 70 metres long and around 35 metres wide. It is carried
by 52 pillars, and the roof is supported by six goddesses of victory.
There are tympani with marble statues at both ends: on the front
gable there are also 15 symbolic figures which signify the restoration of
Germany after the fight against Napoleon Bonaparte at the beginning of
the 19th century. The 15 figures on the gable at the back illustrate the
Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. From the steps of the Walhalla you can
enjoy the view of the Danube valley.

t looks like a tower
from another age.
After more than 10
years of planning and
construction, the
Kuchlbauer tower in
the grounds of the
Kuchlbauer Brewery
in Abensberg
was completed at
the end of 2009. The landmark represents
one of the last architectural projects by
the world-famous artist Friedensreich
Hundertwasser, and it brings together the
two worlds of beer and wine. The tower
pays homage to Bavaria‘s beers and its
breweries.
The Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer is located
where the beer originated and has one
of the world‘s oldest brewing rights. With
Leonhard Salleck as head of the brewery,
Peter Pelikan
the family has now been working
ural project planned and developed by architect
Kuchlbauer Tower is a Hundertwasser architect Abensberg
© Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer GmbH & Co KG,
in the brewery trade for eight generations.
The Kuchlbauer has specialised in brewing
wheat beer - known as Weissbier - with the best raw materials right on the doorstep
- hops from the Hallertau, malt and wheat from the Bavarian Jura and Gäuboden and
water taken from the business‘s own well.
A tour of the Kuchlbauer’s world of beers reveals more about the centuriesold history and brewing traditions of the Weissbier specialists. You can trace the
development of the art of brewing and in doing so discover more about this centre
for beer craft. Visitors see the brewery, its original craft beer cellar and the tower
cellar.
You can then explore the 35 metre high landmark and, after successfully negotiating
the climb, enjoy the fantastic view over Abensberg from the viewing platform. The
visit to the world of beers is rounded off with beer tasting and pretzels.
The grounds have had another highlight to offer since 2014 - the
KunstHausAbensberg. This accessible work of art - planned by the architect Peter
Pelikan - houses a permanent Hundertwasser exhibition which provides visitors
with a unique insight into the varied life and work of the Austrian artist Friedensreich
Hundertwasser. The exhibition includes work from Hundertwasser‘s original and
graphic applied art, and also papers showing his work in the area of architecture.

S Befreiungshalle

n Kelheim, the eye is drawn by the Befreiungshalle („Hall of Liberation“). Like the
Walhalla in Donaustauf, the Befreiungshalle on Michelsberg was commissioned
by King Ludwig I. Friedrich von Gärtner began constructing the hall in 1842. After
his death, it was completed by the architect Leo von Klenze in 1863. It was
intended as a memorial to the wars of liberation against Napoleon from 1813
to 1815. The building consists of three levels and is made of lime stone. There
are 18 statues enthroned all around the outer facade which stand for the battles
of the German tribes involved. The number 18 also represents the dates of the
Battle of Leipzig (October 18, 1813) and the Battle of Waterloo (June 18, 1815).
The size of the Befreiungshalle is impressive, at 45 metres in height and 29
metres in diameter. To reach the interior, you have to climb 125 steps.
Forty more steps lead to the terrace, from which you have a good view of
the town of Kelheim and the Danube. The opening in the dome lights up the
spacious interior.
The walls are arranged in 18 segmental arches. Two goddesses of victory made
of white marble stand on pillars in front of each of the arches. They stand with
their arms outstretched and are around three metres tall. A total of 34 goddess
statues were designed by the sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler, representing the
member states of the German Confederation. There are bronze shields cast
from captured guns behind them in the centre.
Above the entrance to the rotunda, which is seven metres high, you can read the
carved dedication: DEN TEUTSCHEN BEFREIUNGSKAEMPFERN, LUDWIG
I - KOENIG VON BAYERN (To the German freedom fighters, Ludwig I - King of
Bavaria).
There has been a visitors‘ centre here since April 2004. The Befreiungshalle
celebrated its 150 year anniversary in 2013.

go – but there’s no public toilet anywhere! The “Friendly Toilet” campaign
helps you avoid this situation in Regensburg – and with a smile
This is because all catering establishments where you see the smiley face

Location
Between the two picturesque streets, “Hinter der Grieb” and “Vor
der Grieb” a young and modern Italian restaurant has established
itself in the former aristocratic city castle. The inner courtyard gives
the feeling of being in a neapolitan Palazzo and the rooms’ age enable
them to flirt without Kitsch.

The Concept
Amore, vino & amici: The love of eating, friends and as much wine
as you can handle. In short: Everything you need for a comfortable
evening. With the simple but stylish interior setting, “& amici” bridges
the gap between the first generation of Italian immigrants and the
current generation. This is done without any frills, no complications,
heartily and with good food.
The Kitchen is as original, as it was in the 60s when it first arrived
in Germany. The owners, Davide and Andrea both grew up in a
restaurant and father Carmelo is “& amici”’s Chef. His Love is for
the Sicilian kitchen. His focus, therefore, is on classic pasta dishes and
refined fish courses. Worth a mention are also the crunchy Crostate,
sicilian shortcrust pastries,
enjoyed as an afternoon snack or
for dessert. The food is rounded
off by a high quality Espresso, a
house blend of the Regensburg
roasting house ‘Rehorik.’

After their delicious dinner, the restaurant’s cozy flair also invites
guests to continue the evening at the bar, over freshly drafted beer or
cocktails. The Seven Oceans makes it easy to get into the atmosphere
and live the good life.
Location / View
Constructed in 1598 as a granary, the historic building is now a centre for art, culture and culinary delights. In the eastern part of Regensburg‘s Old Town area, two minutes walk away in an easterly
direction from the cathedral, you can find the Leerer Beutel near
to Dachauplatz with its historic museum and the Minoritenkirche.
The Restaurant
The Leerer Beutel is distinguished by the powerful elegance of
its original Medieval wooden beam construction for 25 years.
And also by its variety of cultural and culinary delights. This former granary lives by the motto: pleasure for your eyes, ears and
taste buds. Next to the restaurant there are exhibition rooms
for modern art (Städtische Galerie), an arthouse cinema, one
of the largest Bavarian jazz clubs with a regular programme and
approximately 70 concerts a year. The restaurant has room for
up to 100 people. Up to 250 guests can celebrate in the historic
banquet hall. A side room is also available for up to 40 people.

Location
The Rote-Hahnen-Gasse, a slightly crooked street and one of the
most beautiful narrow streets in the heart of the city, connects
Gesandtenstraße with Haidplatz. The „Roter Hahn“ was already one
of the city‘s most exclusive restaurants back in the 18th century. Not
only the spirit of the building, but its standards have remained to this
day - both for the hotel and the restaurant.
Restaurant
As one of Regensburg oldest restaurants, „Roter Hahn“ (“The Red
Rooster”) has made the list of Bavaria‘s 450 top addresses for
gourmets. „Come in; Sample; Pamper Body & Soul“ is the restaurant’s
successful motto faithfully followed by the staff – for personalized
pampering of our guests with just the right touch of tact and delicacy.
The menu is designed to carry the guests off into the realm of worldclass culinary art – for any occasion, any season, and any taste. To
present just one of the restaurant’s may highlights: juicy steaks cooked
to perfection and a large yet affordable wine menu. Even for caterings
the competent team is your contact number one. The Restaurant
„Roter Hahn“ further also managed the catering for the wedding of
princess Maria Thereia of Thurn und Taxis and Hugo Wilson. There
can be no doubt: Restaurant „Roter Hahn“ knows the secret of worldclass gastronomy: listen to the guests and give them what they want.

Location
What is always worth a detour is the city of Straubing only 25 miles
further down the Danube – a city of towers and festivals! The
centre of the “Gäuboden” metropolis is the historic new town with
Ludwigsplatz and Theresienplatz. This is the heart of Straubing – an
ensemble of high-ranking listed buildings, with the pedestrian precinct,
“shopping mile”, cafés, restaurants and market stalls.
