Das Eigentum — Pension Märkl Augsburg
Pension Märkl feels like a quiet, family-run guesthouse from another era, set in a peaceful courtyard just off Augsburg's main shopping street. The lobby is small and wood-panelled, with a handwritten welcome board and the smell of fresh coffee from the breakfast room. It suits independent travellers who value simple cleanliness, a central location and old-school German hospitality over modern frills or a minibar. The USP is the courtyard — a leafy, sun-trap space where you can eat breakfast or read in the afternoon, away from the pedestrian bustle.
Chroniken von Augsburg
Augsburg was founded as a Roman military camp around 15 BC, named Augusta Vindelicorum, and grew into a key trading hub on the Via Claudia Augusta. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the city became the banking centre of Europe under the Fugger family, who built the Fuggerei — the world's oldest social housing complex, still in use. The Old Town largely survived WWII bombing, so you see Roman layout, medieval cathedral, Renaissance town hall and Baroque stucco side by side. Today, Augsburg is a university city with a strong tech industry (home to, for example, the MAN truck plant) and a relaxed, civic pride — part tourist stop, part working city.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Augsburg-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September offer the best balance of long daylight, mild temperatures (18-25°C) and few tourists compared to the August peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
August peaks with the Peace Festival (Augsburger Friedensfest) on 8 August — a unique public holiday only in Augsburg. Hotel prices rise 20-30%, and central rooms book out by March. The city's main summer event is the Augsburger Plärrer, a large folk festival in late August/early September.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April and early October are solid shoulder months: rooms often 15-20% cheaper, you avoid summer heat and crowds, and the city's parks (Botanischer Garten) are at their best. October has the added draw of the Christkindlesmarkt season prep, but still quiet.
Wetter & Verpackung
Augsburg sits in a basin between rivers, so summer afternoons can bring sudden, heavy thunderstorms even when mornings are clear. Pack a light waterproof jacket and an umbrella; leave the bulky raincoat and bring layers — a cotton top and a cardigan or light jumper for evenings.

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.
