The world’s oldest social housing project was started in 1516 by Jakob Fugger, the powerful merchant banker. Within a decade 52 houses had been constructed, and the sequence of streets and squares, served by a church, became a kind of town of its own. On eight streets, these long terraces of ivy-clad homes still have residents and the Fuggerei’s ga...
Built at enormous expense in the 1610s when Augsburg was at the peak of its powers, the City Hall is a reflection of the wealth and power of the city during the Renaissance. On the outside that confidence is summed up by an outsized image of the Reichsadler, the Imperial Eagle beneath the pediment on the gable. And inside the piece de resistance is...
The oldest elements at Augsburg’s majestic cathedral are Romanesque and date to the 1000s, but the overriding style is Late Gothic from the 14th century. This is what confronts you at the southern portal, which is rich in sculpture carved around 1356. The central column and tympanum has scenes from the Life of Mary, while the jambs and archivolts t...
The former home of the 18th-century banker Benedikt Adam Liebert is a Rococo treasure in its own right. It has dazzling gardens, courtyards and interiors, culminating in an exceptionally rich ballroom from the 1760s embellished with chandeliers, a grand ceiling fresco, high mirrors and masses of gilded stucco. But the palace is also valued for its ...
In the course of its 1,000-year history, Augsburg’s emblematic watchtower has come through a lot of changes. The most significant was in the 1610s when it was altered to match the redesign of the City Hall. Perlachturm now forms one of the most beautiful Renaissance ensembles north of the Alps. The tower is 70 metres high and is open to visitors da...
As an Imperial Abbey, St Ulrich’s and St Afra’s was essentially an independent enclave within the Free City of Augsburg. The abbey was founded in the 900s while the current building has a Late Gothic design from the 15th century, easily recognised by its tower topped with a Baroque onion dome. In the 93.5-metre nave you have to take some time to st...
Originally attached to a 14th-century monastery, St Anne’s Church experienced one of the key moments in the Reformation: In 1518 Martin Luther stayed here among the monastery’s Carmelite friars when he met the Papal Legate who wanted him to yield to the pope. The church became Lutheran in 1545 and about 200 years later was given a Rococo update, de...
Since 1948 the 17th-century Heilig-Geist-Spital (Holy Ghost Hospital) has been the home of Augsburg’s renowned puppet theatre. The theatre earned a lot of fame in Germany during the second half of the 20th century when its adaptations of fairytales and contemporary children’s books were televised. In this beautiful historical setting there puppet s...
The Fuggers themselves lived in a complex of interconnected houses and courtyards at Maximilianstraße 36. The first house and warehouse annexe was designed by Jakob Fugger himself from the 1510s onwards, using notes that he had made during his travels in Italy. They became the first Renaissance home north of the Alps, and the complex expanded when ...
You may be keen to know more about the two merchant families who left an indelible mark not just on Augsburg, but also Europe and the rest of the world. The Fuggers for instance took over from the de’ Medici family and had the European copper economy nailed down, while the Welsers’ power stretched to new German territories in the Americas like Vene...
