Chroniken von Augsburg
Augsburg was founded in 15 BC by the Romans as Castra Augusta Vindelicum, a strategic outpost along the Danube River. Over the centuries, the city's architecture has evolved from Roman ruins to medieval buildings, Baroque churches, and Art Nouveau townhouses. Today, Augsburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting a rich cultural heritage and a unique blend of traditional and modern influences. The city's Fugger and Welser merchant families, who dominated the global trade in the 16th century, left a lasting legacy in the city's architecture, art, and cuisine.

Top-Attraktionen in Augsburg
💡 The Fugger Chapel is a hidden masterpiece — check the opening times as it’s only accessible during guided tours (free with church entry, usually 11am and 2pm Sat). The cloister garden is a peaceful spot rarely visited.
💡 The cloister opens via a side door off the main church – easy to miss. Look for the tiny plaque marking Luther's room. The organ is often played during lunchtime (12:30-13:00) on Saturdays.
💡 Pair with the main puppet theatre show (tickets from €12) — the museum explains the craft, then you see it live. The museum is kid-friendly but not overwhelming.
💡 Go on a weekday morning (10-12) to avoid tour groups. The main staircase itself is worth the climb. No photography with flash allowed inside the hall.
💡 Visit early morning around 8am before the shops open – you get the square nearly empty. The fountain's four statues represent Augsburg's rivers: Lech, Wertach, Singold, and Brunnenbach.
💡 The Japanese garden has a small teahouse that opens for ceremonies on Sundays (check schedule). The herb garden is great for picnics — but bring your own blanket. Arrive early to avoid crowds on weekends.
💡 Free entry applies only to the outdoor gardens. The greenhouses cost 3 euros but are worth it for the tropical section. Best in May-June when roses bloom.
💡 Visit the bomb shelter bunker turned museum — it’s small but gives a stark look at WWII in Augsburg. Go early morning to avoid tour groups.
