Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Old Town
Explore the maze of Regensburg’s small streets and you’ll be lost in perpetual time travel. The narrow – sometimes dark – alleyways are a legacy of the medieval city on this site. But there’s evidence of much more before and after. Romans first built up Regensburg, using it as a fortification and trading city from about 179AD. It was built of stone and the large temple erected in the city started the series of grand religious buildings that were to come.
In the early Middle Ages, Regensburg grew and prospered. Many of the Roman buildings were not destroyed but expanded and renovated to accommodate its role as the main centre for the Bavarians. These constant changes have left an intriguing mix of Roman, Romanesque and Gothic buildings.
It’s the architecture from the 11th to 13th century that really defines how the city looks today, though. The market, the city hall and the cathedral seem not like out-of-place landmarks but like the joints that keep everything together. The small streets and alleys, winding around to new discoveries of public squares and churches, come to an abrupt end at the Danube River. This is the northernmost point of the river and it flows wide and strong here. From the centre of the historic town, you can cross the river on the famous Roman Bridge that was constructed from stone in the 12th century and still stands today, connecting more modern parts of Regensburg.
More recently, Regensburg has become known as a bit of a digital hub with companies like Siemens, Toshiba and Amazon setting up base in the area. A BMW production plant in Regensburg is also a large employer of residents here. But there is no sense of the modern developments of the city in the historic centre, most of which survived the bombing of the Second World War.
To get the most out of a visit to Regensburg, the best thing to do is just walk through its streets. Even the buildings of no particular note that line the alleyways all come together to create the sense of medieval city.
The particular highlights of the city are all within a very easy walking distance of each other. From the Roman Bridge, walk up into the centre of town to see the cathedral, cut across to the old town hall, through the Haidplatz square and over to St James’s Scottish Church.
Regensburg is popular with tour groups that move in large mobs but they tend to stick to the main streets. Getting away from the obvious paths and exploring the alleyways will not just give you a bit more peace, it will also show you how small businesses and residences of today have been incorporated into the original buildings.
( Regensburg - Germany ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Regensburg. Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Regensburg - Germany

Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Haidplatz
Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Haidplatz
The Haidplatz is a central place in the Regensburg old town. The course goes back to an elongated meadow (Heide) west of the former Roman camp. The shape of the later built triangular square is based on a fork of a road. In the Middle Ages were here jousting tournaments held. Legend has it that the tournament between Knight Dollinger and Pagan Krako took place here. In the 17th century, a French surgeon tried to cross the square on a wire rope, hung with firecrackers, and crashed. The square is used today for numerous cultural events such as the Bavarian Jazz Weekend.
The defining building at the northwestern end of the square is the early Gothic 1250 built patrician Golden Cross . The house was initially owned by the Weltenburg family, later followed by the Zeller in the 15th century. The crenellated house with tower and house chapel was since the 16th century an inn and served as a hostel for many princes and emperors. The most famous guest was Emperor Charles V , who descended here in 1532, 1541 and 1546. During the last stay he discovered the belt daughter Barbara Blomberg . From the relationship of the 46-year-old emperor with the 18-year-old girl went Don Juan d'Austria , the later winner of the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto, The alleged birthplace of Barbara Blomberg is located very close to the square in Tändlergasse. A monument to Don Juan d'Austria stands nearby on Zieroldsplatz. Later, personalities such as King Ludwig I of Bavaria, the German Kaiser Wilhelm I or Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria stayed here . Even today, the building serves as a hotel and café.
East of the Golden Cross is located on the square, the classicist Thon Dittmer Palace , which was redesigned from 1803 to 1809 by the Archbishop Dalbergischer court architect Emanuel Herigoyen and remained until 1856 in the possession of the merchant family of Thon-Dittmer . Then it went into the possession of the city of Regensburg. Today, here cultural department, community college, public library, German-American Institute and the Theater am Haidplatz housed. In the basement there is the gothic Sigismund Chapel from 1270, uncovered in 1968. In the Renaissance-Arkadenhof regularly find cultural events, u. a. classical concerts and the Regensburger silent film days, instead.
The equally impressive building on the east side of the square is the Neue Waag . The former patrician house of the Altmann family was acquired by the city in 1441 and then housed the Stadtwaage and the Herrenkrinkstube . The arcades in the courtyard date back to 1575. On the ground floor, in the Gothic vault, is the stone townhouse . The building houses the classicist Napoleon Hall . In 1541 the religious discussion between Philipp Melanchthon and Johannes Eck took place in the Neue Waag . From 1783 to 1875 the Imperial City Library was housed here. Today the building is the seat of the administrative court.

Regensburg, a Bavarian city on the Danube River in southeast Germany, is known for its well-preserved medieval core. The 12th-century Stone Bridge, a 310m-long icon with 16 arches, crosses the river to the old town. The 13th-century Regensburg Cathedral, a twin-spired Gothic landmark, is home to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir. Walhalla, a Parthenon replica just east of the city, honors illustrious Germans.
The capital of the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria, Regensburg dates back to Roman times and was the first capital of Bavaria. Two thousand years of history bequeathed the city some of the region’s finest architectural heritage, a fact recognised by Unesco in 2006. Though big on the historical wow factor, today’s Regensburg is a laid-back, studenty and unpretentious sort of place and it's tangle of old streets a joy to wander.
Regensburg is one of Germany's oldest towns, founded by the Romans in 179 AD. It's in the German federal state of Bavaria, at the northernmost point of the river Danube. As capital of the district of Upper Palatinate and also its biggest settlement, Regensburg today is a thriving city of about 137,000 inhabitants. It has two universities and many landmarks and little chapels, most dating back to the Middle Ages (e.g. the Cathedral of St. Peter, the Old City Hall and Imperial Diet, and the Stone Bridge). According to legend there are so many chapels here, that there would always be at least one church bell ringing. Since 2006 the historic city center of Regensburg and Stadtamhof has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. Because of its narrow alleys Regensburg is often called the northernmost city of Italy.
Regensburg grew to strength and prosperity during the Middle Ages. In the 9th century Regensburg was one of the most important cities in the Kingdom of the East Franks. Through the long-distance trade to Paris, Kiev and Venice Regensburg experienced an economic boom in the 12th and 13th century and was one of the most populous and prosperous cities. A sign of the prosperity of the time is the construction of the Stone Bridge (c. 1135-1146). In 1245, Emperor Frederick II raised Regensburg to the Free Imperial City, and remained so until 1803.
Regensburg economically regained some strength because of its role as a river port for crude oil imports from Eastern Europe. Although Regensburg was target to 20 allied bombings during World War II, because it was home to one of Messerschmitt's main aircraft factories as well as an oil refinery, the historic city center took only little damage. There were two sub-camps of the Flossenbürg concentration camp located in the vicinity of the town for a brief period of time in early 1945. In 1960 the university was founded and several large companies like Siemens, BMW, Infineon, and Toshiba built factories in the city. In 2006 Regensburg's historic city center was appointed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Regensburg was also home to the German Pope - Joseph Ratzinger. He spent a long time in Regensburg and from 1969 on he taught theology at Regensburg University.

Regensburg (Germany) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Regensburg in Germany.
Regensburg is Germany’s mediaeval wonder and capital of the Bavarian Oberpfalz which is often described as Italy’s most northerly city. Much prized in Europe and designated by UNESCO as a unique cultural and historical monument and also the hometown of Pope Benedict XVI. The mighty dome of Sanct Peter marks the centre of the Old Town and the impressive Episcopal Church stands on the site of a Roman building. An equestrian statue of King Louis The First guards the building which was modelled after various French Gothic cathedrals in around 1250 A.D. The Ancient Town Hall is one of the oldest in southern Germany and was built in the thirteenth century. The city’s wealthy citizens featured grand ballrooms on the first floor of their residences therefore the Town Hall could have nothing less grand and so the Imperial Hall was built. In the 19th Century Regensburg could be described as having been a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ because this city on the Danube lacked industry and therefore the new wealth. The fact is though that both history and the Old Town have made Regensburg a World Heritage Site.

The Roman ruins can still be seen today fused together with the newer style architecture.
Near the center of the city you will find the famous stone arched bridge, which was built in the 12th century and still stands sturdy today!
