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…

Wurstkuchl
THE HISTORIC WURSTKUCHL!

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…

Sharing helps
SHARING HELPS! Have you ever heard of “cafè sospeso” or “suspended coffee”? Translated, it means “suspended coffee”. This custom originated in Naples over 100 years ago and spread from there all over the world. The idea is as simple as it is ingenious: a customer drinks one coffee and pays for a second. Someone else who needs it can then redeem it and drink it for free. Zack, you’ve done…
