Being a tourist
BE A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN CITY! Have you ever been on a city tour? Or at the tourist information office, just to have a look? At the top of the Trinity Church tower? No? Well then, it’s high time! Most of us avoid the typical “tourist spots” in Regensburg. But it’s really nice to let yourself drift and look through the eyes of a visitor. You’ll see, it’s fun!…

Originals
REGENSBURG ORIGINALS & SPECIAL FEATURES. A declaration of love. A few years ago, if you told people that you were from Regensburg, they would often ask “Where is that?”. In the meantime, the level of awareness of our city has increased significantly. After all, the entire Old Town including Stadtamhof was awarded the UNESCO World Heritage title in 2006. In Germany, only the old towns of Bamberg, Goslar, Lübeck, Weimar,…

Sustainable shopping
SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING. How can we shop more sustainably? Where can you actually shop packaging-free in Regensburg? We recently asked ourselves these questions again. Even though we make it a point to go to the market every week, sometimes we just don’t have the time and end up shopping at the supermarket again. And the mountains of waste grow and grow. In Germany, each inhabitant produces an average of 37.4 kilos…

Golden Tower
FROM THE SERIES: REGENSBURG TOWERS! Regensburg is known for its patrician towers or “Geschlechtertürme”. No city north of the Alps has as many medieval towers as Regensburg. In the Middle Ages, the rich Regensburg patricians copied the towers from their Italian trading colleagues. The towers were stone status symbols of the upper classes, most of whom were merchant families. It is said that the term “stony rich” comes from this…

THE HISTORIC WURSTKUCHL! Known throughout the world simply as the “Wurstkuchl”, this historic cooking and sausage kitchen has long since become the epitome of Regensburg, along with the Stone Bridge and the cathedral. Situated at the foot of the world-famous bridge, right next to the Salzstadel, it was the place to go for workers, stonemasons and dockers to have a hearty meal during the construction of the bridge and the…

Good intentions
DOING GOOD! Fresh into the new year, you usually still have good resolutions. Finally taking on a voluntary position or doing something else good. This makes sense, especially after Christmas and all the presents under the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, it’s not just children who still measure their world by the worldly things they receive as presents. We “adults” also forget that not everyone is doing so well because of all…

Games evening
