Architecture in Augsburg - experience glorious epochs

The Augsburg town hall, which was built in 1615, is regarded as the most profane building of the Renaissance north of the Alps. The beautiful ceremonial room, the Golden Hall, originating from the late Renaissance, draws countless visitors. Next to it is the Perlach-tower, the bell tower of the St. Peter collegiate church at the Perlach.

The "Schaezler" palace is one of the most impressive construction feats of the Rococo in Augsburg. The art collections and the ceremonial ballroom on the first floor are particularly impressive. Outstanding works of art can be viewed here.

The appearance of the open air stage was decisively determined by Elias Holl, whose functional-aesthetic construction style characterises the entire cityscape. Open air performances are being presented here since 1928, presenting the highlight of the Swabian summer.

The "Fuggerei" the oldest existing social settlement in the world, was founded from 1514 to 1523 by Jakob Fugger the rich, for citizens and residents of Augsburg who had become destitute without their own wrongdoing. The "city within the city" comprises 67 houses with 147 dwellings, a church and a well.
