5 A Steinerne Brücke

he Stone Bridge, was constructed from 1135 to 1146 in Romanesque style. The bridge was originally built with 16 supporting arches giving it a total length of 330 metres. In 1487, the 16th arch was filled in with the construction of the ‘Salzstadel‘ at the Wiedfang channel on the city side of the bridge. The arches have a width ranging from 10 to 17 metres and the up-river points of their supporting columns are equipped with ice-breakers. Originally reinforced with stone in the river bed, the columns are now supported by cement to create the legendary ‘Regensburg Danube whirlpools’. T In the 13th century, the bridge was equipped with 3 fortified towers. The ‘black tower’ which was located on the ‘Stadtamhof’ side, was eliminated in 1810 together with its moats, small defence towers and a drawbridge because of war damage. The middle tower was removed back in 1784 after ice impact made it unstable. The only remaining tower today is the ‘bridge tower’ or debtor’s prison on the city or southern side. This tower is decorated with two clocks and paintings depicting battles from the 30-year war. LEGEND Legend has it that the cathedral builder and the bridge builder had a bet with each other as to who would finish their project first. As the construction of the cathedral began to progress much faster, the bridge builder decided to make a pact with the devil and won. However, the bridge builder had to promise the devil the first 3 souls that would cross the bridge and thus could not savour his victory. However, a hooded monk wisely advised him to send 3 animals across first and 2 roosters and a dog were the first to cross the bridge. The devil was so furious that he made a huge hole in the stone railing which could be seen as proof for many years.

6 B Porta Praetoria & Castra Regina

astra Regina was established under the Emperor Marc Aurel in 179 AD as a military camp for 6000 men with its strategic location being the northernmost point on the Danube. This fort was approximately 450 x 550 metres large with a V-shaped surrounding ditch measuring 6 metres wide and 3 metres deep. The 70-90 cm wall base (on which the fort wall measuring 1.8 metres thick and 9 metres high stood with its 30 towers and 4 entrance gates) can still be seen today at certain places including the porta praetoria, the Dachauplatz multi-storey car park, Am Königshof, and Ernst-Reuter- Platz. C The north gate of the fort, once called Porta Aquarum (water gate), was renamed after the completion of the street ‘Via Praetoria’, from where it got its present name, Porta Praetoria. The area was unearthed in 1890 after it was included in the construction of the Bischöfliches Brauhaus (bishop’s brewery) in the late Middle Ages. The prevailing view is that it used to be a double gate with two arches and an east and west tower. The towers each had 2 floors with 5 round-arched windows to defend against attacks. Another windowed storey was also located above their 4-metre wide doors. The archway still in existence is made from 13 tapered limestones which fit against each other to exact precision. Along with the larger Porta Nigra in Trier (180 AD), the Porta Praetoria is the oldest above-ground structure north of the Alps.

7 C Salzstadel

alt routes are the oldest trading routes in Europe, twisting from Italy up over the Alps to the north and east. Salt was often so valuable that many soldiers had their wages paid out in salt rather than money. During the 13th century, however, salt originated from the salt mines of Reichenhall from where it travelled through Passau and then up the Danube to Regensburg. From there, it would be further distributed at the most important transfer station of that day and age. The buying and selling of this ‘white gold’ was run by the salt lords and was only taken over by the state in the 16th century. Horse-drawn carts, with often as many as 40 horses per cart, would bring the salt to the S depot (Salzstadel) up until 1616. The salt would be stored in 3 main floors and 5 additional attic floors that were equipped with a complex rope-pull system to manage the flourishing trade. As the original wood construction of the depot could not bear the weight of the salt, the wood beams were later replaced by stone supports. The depot was completely restored in 1991. As Regensburg qualified as a free city, it had the right to collect tolls from ships. The ships would travel through a channel (the Wiedfang channel which has since been filled in) and would be charged a toll. The province of Bavaria wanted to avoid paying this toll so built another salt depot in Stadtamhof in 1600. Many ships were then forced back underneath the north side of the stone bridge to Salzstadel in order to pay the toll. In 1606 the city of Regensburg hired Hanns Heygl, also a captain, to take control of the situation. He stood watch on the bridge with his mighty axe, where he would hack the ropes of the ships as they were docked and would send them back into the dangerous currents making them unable to unload their cargo.

8 D Engelburgergasse Nr. 8: Der Unterschlupf von Adam Weishaupt

he founder of the Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt, lived in the Engelburggasse in Regensburg from 1785 to 1787. This is suggested on an 18th century engraving, where the house with the number 8 is visible in the background. On May 1st 1776, the order of the ‘Federation of the Perfectibilists‘ was founded by Weishaupt in Ingolstadt. This order would later be renamed the ‘Order of the Illuminati’ (from the Latin meaning “the enlightened”). Despite what many films and books claim, the goal of the order had nothing to do with sinister and evil powers. On the contrary - a ‘light of reason’ which was long T oppressed by church dogmas was to be exposed in order to create a new world order. The aim was a complete reform of the government, religion, and education. Virtue, wisdom, and science should prevail over persecution and despotism. High-ranking noblemen and celebrities of the time, such as Goethe, became members of the Illuminati. In 1785, the Bavarian sovereign Karl Theodor banned the Illuminati in the whole of Bavaria. Adam Weishaupt fled to what was then the free city of Regensburg on 16th February 1785 dressed as a craftsman. On July 20th 1785, the priest and fellow Illuminati member Johann Jakob Lanz visited him. As both were walking near the city gate, they encountered a heavy storm. As if God was outraged by his bold affiliation with the Illumati, Lanz was struck by lightning and he was killed immediately. A list of members of the Illuminati was found in his clothing. The free city of Regensburg was then pressured to extradite Weishaupt. Bavaria even commissioned spies to arrest Weishaupt the second he set foot on Bavarian soil (for example Bavarian Stadtamhof). Weishaupt fled from Regensburg to Gotha’s ducal court in 1787. However, the Illuminati continued to be slandered and persecuted while Weishaupt attempted to clear his name and rehabilitate the order. He never succeeded in doing this and later died in 1830.

9 E Keplerhaus, Keplerstraße 5

ohannes Kepler is renowned for his established laws on physics and planetary movement theories. Born on Dec 27th 1571, he lived in two different houses in Regensburg. He died in the Keplerhaus in 1630.

Kepler taught in Linz and had to leave Regensburg frequently to support his mother who was accused of witchcraft in Leonberg and Güglingen, or to spend time in Ulm where he printed the Rudolphic tables. Kepler travelled to many cities with the title ‘the emperor’s mathematician’, and moved to Sagan in 1628 to serve for General Wallenstein. However, he left part of his J belongings behind in Regensburg which indicated that he did intend to return one day. Amongst these belongings was a handwritten list of his possessions. This list is currently on display in the Keplerhaus. Having returned and while travelling on to Linz, Kepler became extremely ill in Regensburg and died very suddenly. He is buried in an unknown location in Regensburg’s inner city.

Opening hours: Sat, Sun, and holidays 10.30 a.m.-4 p.m. Easter Monday, Whit Monday 10.30 a.m.-4 p.m. guided tours: Sat, Sun, public holidays 2.30 p.m.

10 F Goliathhaus

he ‘Goliath House’ (Goliathhaus), built in 1260, is considered one of the most well-known landmarks of Regensburg with its painting of David and Goliath from the year 1573. Along with Haus Heuport, this is the largest ‘city castle’ in the inner city and is located on the southern base of the old Roman fort. It is likely that the name is not derived from the biblical epic, but rather from the name ‘Goliards’. Theology students were called Goliards after their guardian angel “Golias”. It is believed that the present Goliath house was built on the location of the quarters in which the travellers often stayed. The house was subsequently the headquarters of T the Tundorfer patrician family, later being taken over by the Dollingers, Mallers and the Tucher patricians from Nuremberg.

11 G Rathaus, Reichstag & Folterkammer

egensburg City Hall was built over multiple centuries. The tower which was built in 1260 is especially noteworthy. This 55-metre high tower forms part of Regensburg’s postcard silhouette. Even more well-renowned is the Reichssaal (Parliament Hall). Not only important as a work of art, the Reichsaal was also the location of the first German Parliament. This parliament was not democratically elected. The emperor was required to meet with a collection of representatives in order to make legal, administrative, and military decisions. The location of the Reichstag continued to change from city to city R up until 1663, when it became the ‘perpetual parliament’ based in Regensburg. Because representatives were not physically present, a congress of ministers would continually meet to represent the rulers, princes, electors, and imperial cities. But the City Hall was not just a place for conventions and intellectual discussions; powerful forms of persuasion were practiced in the cellar to expose the truth. The torture chamber in Regensburg is one-of-a-kind in Germany and should be on every visitor’s list. Everything has been left in its original condition; from the chamber layout to each device and contraption. Pain interrogation had been implemented since the beginning of the 14th century to force confessions, as a confession was imperative for an official conviction. An extraordinary tour through the basement of the city hall will show the prison cells and torture instruments. This trip back through time is an absolute must!

Entrance with guided tours only: every half hour from 9.30 a.m.-12.00 and from 1.30 p.m.-4.00 p.m. English guided tour: April-Oct daily 3 p.m. November-January daily 2 p.m.

12 H Schloss St. Emmeram, Thurn und Taxis Foto: Fürst Thurn und Taxis Zentralarchiv Fürst Thurn und Taxis Foto:

he former abbey and Benedictine monastery at St. Emmeram has been owned by the Thurn und Taxis royal family since 1812. The royal family moved to Regensburg in 1748 to represent the emperor at the ‘perpetual Reichstag’. After the old empire was dissolved, Prince Karl Alexander received the monastery as partial compensation for surrendering his rights to the Bavarian postal system to the state. During the 19th century, this complex comprising several hundred rooms was reconstructed to create one of the largest private residences in Europe. The museum area of the residence, cloister, royal stables and T treasure chamber provide a comprehensive insight to 1000 years of monastery tradition, as well as the lifestyle of one of the most important aristocratic families in Europe. Experience the cloisters with its medieval flair, or enjoy the splendour of the rococo manor house and European craftsmanship in the treasure chambers. The royal stables, which were originally constructed in 1832, are now home to the carriage museum. With over 70 vehicles and carriages, it is the hugest collection of aristocratic carriages in the world.

13 I Dreieinigkeitskirche

he Church of the Holy Trinity, located on the Gesandtenstrasse, was built in the midst of the Thirty Years War. This was one of the first evangelical churches in Bavaria. Construction began on July 4th 1627, and was completed only four-and-a-half years later on December 5th 1631. The original benches dating back to 1630-31 are still used today. The intricate wood carvings on the back of the choir chairs are a highlight especially worth seeing. The poor box, which dates back to 1632, originally stood in the middle isle but is now located in a showcase T near the pulpit rise. The original design of the church was supposed to come from the architect Matthias Stang from Pfalz-Neuburg, but because it arrived too late, Johann Carl from Nuremberg, an armourer, fortress architect and engineer, was commissioned. This design has regional and Dutch influences, with the flat look of the longhouse which resembles the Lusthaus in Stuttgart designed by Georg Beers. The structure also conforms to other building styles in Regensburg with a tower homogenous to the Jakobskirche and Neupfarrkirche. Particularly interesting is the columnless design of longhouse; the gallery is actually the only thing supported in the building by columns. Paintings in the church, such as the full body portrait of Luther and Melanchton, originate from the 17th century. Other attractions include the small cemetery, running as a narrow strip alongside the church, which includes a row of baroque-styled grave monuments, as well as the last resting place of former foreign parliament members. But above all, do not forget to climb up the tower where you can enjoy breath- taking views of the ‘old city’!

14 J Schottenkirche - Schottenportal

rish Benedictine monks (Scotti in the vernacular language referred to the Gaels of Ireland and Scotland) founded the St. Jakob Abbey in around 1090. Construction of the abbey and portal were finished in 1200. It is considered one of the most meaningful works of occidental art. Experts believe that all of the figures portrayed were once painted and some even gold or silver-plated with the holes being once filled with gems. The exact interpretation or meaning of the portal is still in debate. One widely accepted theory by Franz Dietheuer, states: the arch above the door separates the heavens from the last judgement below where Satan, evil beings, infidel Jews, heathens, and bad Christians are all to face trial. Christ stands I in the middle with 6 apostles on each side to create an even balance. Flanked on the outside are two saints: Emperor Charlemagne and Archbishop Patrick. The other figures and numerous arches have received many interpretations ranging from the planetary motions, wind, signs of earth, the antichrist Saladin, and further interpretation is still required today. Most theories have religious connotations dealing with Judgement Day and the resurrection. The monastery was then run by Scottish abbots in 1520. Despite it being well managed, it declined during the trials and tribulations of secularization. The administration was passed on to bishops in 1866, and the building has since been used as a priest seminary.

15 K Bismarckplatz

his square is named after the Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, an honorary citizen of Regensburg. It has been a traffic intersection dating as far back as the ‘Castra Regina’ times, where it was located in front of the fort’s Roman wall. In medieval times, the square was home to an arsenal, granary, corn warehouse, and stables. The presidential headquarters (now the police headquarters) are located at the north end of the square. This classical building was built by the then prince and Archbishop of Regensburg, Carl von Dalberg in 1805 for the French envoy and ‘perpetual parliament’. This building was the first to T introduce classicism to the city, which had previously a purely medieval image. The six massive limestone columns with Corinthian capitals are especially striking. Its counterpart across the square is the city theatre built for public use in 1804. The theatre was previously only accessible to nobles and the elite. In 1980/81, the square was renovated to accommodate an underground garage. This construction project added the 2 water fountains, a new cobbled surface, and the southern terrace. Over the south-west corner of the square is the Benedictine Abbey of St. Jakob. Across the square in the north-eastern corner is the Erbprinzenpalais (Palace to the Heir to the Throne), which Otto Krafft v. Prüfening built as a hostel for the cloister in 1701. Since 1815, this has been owned by the Thurn & Taxis family. Nestled in the south-eastern corner near the police headquarters, is the Schneckbachhaus. Here, the first evangelical service in Regensburg was held in 1541. The building received its current Baroque-styled make-over in 1742. It also served as legation for the Duke of Württemberg. Today, Bismarckplatz is one of Regensburg’s most beautiful and communicative squares!

16 L Haidplatz

‘Haidplatz’ derives its name from a wasteland that is sparsely overgrown, known as a ‘Haide’. The ‘Haid’ as it was often referred to as, was originally much larger and open. During the middle ages, the square shrunk in size due to surrounding construction, but it still offered ample room for various events. Documents from the 12th century state that the ‘Haid’ had been host for large Knight Tournaments, and one chronicle reported over 300 knights for a particular tournament in 1393. The area also attracted many jugglers, inventors, and exhibitionists to perform. In 1673 there was a H legendary performance by the Frenchman Charles Bernovin, who fell to his death as he attempted to tight-rope across the square strapped with fireworks to his body. This square is enclosed by several historical buildings, such as the “Neue Waag” or ‘New Scale’ (Haidplatz 1); a patrician house that was changed in 1441 to the “Stadtwaage” or “City Scales”. The ‘Arch’ (Haidplatz 3 & 4) is a veritable Gothic construction, whose massive front defines the square with its overwhelming appearance. The former inn, ‘Zum Goldenen Kreuz’ (to the Golden Cross) has a castle- like look and once served as quarters for high- ranking diplomats, princes, kings, and emperors. The elegant facade of Haidplatz 8 is the Thon-Dittmer-Palais. This complex holds the Department of Culture, the city library, the adult educational centre, and a theatre. The 4 wings of the building enclose an intimate courtyard, which is used today for open-air events. In the basement of the south wing is an area for various art exhibitions as well as the 14th century Sigismund Chapel.

17 M Alter Kornmarkt

he Romans had used this area to house their officers, prefects, crew quarters, and baths. In 400 AD, the Germanic tribe called the Bavarii, left the Castra Regina, and declared Regensburg the capital of Bavaria with the Corn market as their residence. The residence was expanded in 850 for the Carolingian palace in addition to the Palatinate Chapel (later called the Old Chapel), which were added at this time. The emperor, bishops, and representatives also held their meetings for the Reich (empire) here. The ‘Herzogshof’ (Duke’s Court) is now a hotel worth seeing! It is still maintained by the Wittelsbachern, who resided in the building T until 1245. The Herzoghof is connected with an arched buttress to the Römerturm or Roman tower, formerly known as the Heidenturm or Pagan-Tower. The tower is 28 meters high with 4-meter thick walls. It served as a place of refuge from attacks, as well as an archive and treasure chamber. For a long period of time the Corn Market was used not only for impressive military parades and tournaments, but also bloodthirsty justice of the middle ages. Up until 1830, it served as the grain market for Regensburg, which was later moved to Haidplatz. Neighboring the Corn Market is the Niedermünsterstift (Niedermünstergasse), a convent housing the resting place of Saint Erhard (700AD). The convent was rather liberal as it allowed women to withdraw from sisterhood and even wed after retirement. The convent had connections to the house of the Bavarian Duke and enjoyed many imperial freedoms, which remained in place until secularization. The Niedermünster Church is actually the 4th church to stand here today. All four churches have had the exact same measurements, beginning at the head of Saint Erhard’s tomb. Also located on the square is the Karmelitenkloster St. Josef (Carmelite Cloister), whose foundation was laid in 1641 by Emperor Ferdinand III and completed in 1672. The ‘Echter Regensburger Karmelitengeist” (medicinal water) was created by Father Ulrich Eberskirch in 1721 and is very well known. Noteworthy here is the western façade in baroque style.

18 N Regensburger Dom

he first church stood on the grounds of the present St. Peter’s Cathedral as far back as 700 AD. A cathedral which was subsequently built there burned down several times before the construction of the cathedral we can see today began in the year 1273. This new cathedral, however, was not completed until the year 1870/72, 600 years later! The famous 105-metre tall spires were only finished in the last 10 years of the construction. Inside the cathedral you can see the famous four part “Annunciation Group” with the ”Erminold Maria“. It refers back to the alleged “Erminold T craftsman”, who carved out and colourfully painted a figure of Mary and the famous laughing Angel Gabriel in about 1280. On the two western pillars, the figures are juxtaposed to one another at the nave crossing. Mary‘s hand is raised slightly to greet the angel and in her other hand she is holding a book. St. Peter and Paul are portrayed in stone on the eastern pillars of the crossing, which were constructed in 1320 and 1360-1370 respectively. And since 2009, the cathedral now houses the largest free-hanging organ in the world with 80 registers. OPENING HOURS: April-October 6.30a.m.-6p.m. November-March 6.30a.m.-5p.m. CATHEDRAL TREASURES The cathedral’s treasure has both flourished and dwindled since the 10th century; many objects were added to the collection and many sold to finance the cathedral’s construction. A special guided tour will reveal its many valuable relics and liturgical artefacts.

19 O Neupfarrplatz

egensburg had one of the oldest Jewish communities in Germany, with a Talmud university as well as a cemetery located on the outskirts of the city. The community, including students, had a population between 400-600 people and created a ‘city within a city’. This micro-city was located at the present day Neupfarrplatz and included some surrounding buildings: approximately 30 houses were connected with bridges and underground passageways. It was a walled-in enclosure with many doorways that separated it from the Christian communtiy surrounding it. The “ghetto” was destroyed in 1519, triggered perhaps R by Regensburg’s economic depression, jealousy and Anti-Semitism. After the death of Emperor Maximillian I, who had guaranteed protection for the Jews, the Christian community quickly displayed their long withheld hatred. Council members confronted the Jewish community and gave them 4 days to leave the city. They were allowed to take all their personal belongings, except the Christian objects that the Jews held as collateral from business trades. To their own dismay, the Jews chose to destroy their holy objects that they could not take with them rather than hand them over to the Christians. During the winter months, the Jews were then driven out of the city. Two ships were provided in the Danube for the Jews to leave, while many settled across the river in Stadtamhof, or went on to Sallern. Demolition of the ghetto was quick and even described as ‘God’s work’.

Maria’s chapel of worship was erected shortly thereafter, and the people celebrated with a pilgrimage. The square was a parking area until 1995, when it was redesigned and excavation unearthed parts of the synagogue und many mugs with golden coins.

20 P Stadtamhof

n the middle ages, with about 2000 inhabitants, Stadtamhof was a small Bavarian neighborhood in the middle of the independent city Regensburg and thus often a hot bed of conflict. Earliest evidence shows that this area was first settled in 981 as an estate belonging to the Emmeram Cloister. It reached city status in 1496, and in 1924 became incorporated with the city of Regensburg. It sunk deep into poverty after the war, before flourishing to its present day charm.

The clock still ticks a bit different in Stadtamhof, even today. Residents enjoy the offset location on the banks of the Danube where they are a stone’s throw to I the city, yet still set apart. Small shops and stores are still run by the same families generations old. You stumble upon many picturesque nooks and idyllic courtyards. Its’ historical status also offers many sights worth seeing such as the Rococo church and the former Monastery Church St. Mang. The 2-story former salt depot, Andreasstadel (Andreas Depot) is also quite interesting. Today it is a hotel, cafe, art academy, movie theatre and houses private apartments. The depot, dating back to the 16th century, originally competed with the larger salt trade across the river and is the oldest secular building still standing in Stadtamhof today. Across the Europa Canal is the city’s main gate and a restored locomotive from the Valhalla train, which up until 1960 brought passengers to Wörth an der Donau. Also in existence today is the Katharine Hospital and Spitalkirche (Hospital Church), along with their ever beloved and spacious beer garden.

21 Q Walhalla

he Walhalla stands majestically above Donaustauf, just over six miles east of Regensburg – a vast temple of marble. It rears up out of the dark greenery around and can be seen on the horizon from far away with its huge entrance.

Initiated by the Bavarian King Ludwig I, a significant, neoclassical edifice in the Doric style was created by the architect Leo von Klenze. It is not only the exterior that presents a tremendous picture but the interior as well, the „Cella“: an impressive pantheon. This was opened on October T 18, 1842, after 12 years of construction. It houses 128 marble busts decorated with gold ornaments and 64 tablets depicting significant themes from Germanic mythology. Some of the luminaries featured are Johannes Kepler, Immanuel Kant, Martin Luther and many more. King Ludwig I is also represented by a statue, which was erected for him in 1890.

The entire light-grey marble structure is approximately 130 metres long, 91 metres wide and 60 metres high. The temple itself is 20 metres high, approximately 70 metres long and around 35 metres wide. It is carried by 52 pillars, and the roof is supported by six goddesses of victory. There are tympani with marble statues at both ends: on the front gable there are also 15 symbolic figures which signify the restoration of Germany after the fight against Napoleon Bonaparte at the beginning of the 19th century. The 15 figures on the gable at the back illustrate the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. From the steps of the Walhalla you can enjoy the view of the Danube valley.

22 R Kuchlbauer´s Bierwelt

t looks like a tower from another age. After more than 10 years of planning and construction, the Kuchlbauer tower in the grounds of the Kuchlbauer Brewery in Abensberg I was completed at the end of 2009. The landmark represents one of the last architectural projects by the world-famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and it brings together the two worlds of beer and wine. The tower pays homage to Bavaria‘s beers and its breweries. The Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer is located where the beer originated and has one of the world‘s oldest brewing rights. With Leonhard Salleck as head of the brewery, the family has now been working Kuchlbauer Tower is a Hundertwasser architectural project planned and developed by architect Peter Pelikan in the brewery trade for eight generations. © Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer GmbH & Co KG, Abensberg The Kuchlbauer has specialised in brewing wheat beer - known as Weissbier - with the best raw materials right on the doorstep - hops from the Hallertau, malt and wheat from the Bavarian Jura and Gäuboden and water taken from the business‘s own well. A tour of the Kuchlbauer’s world of beers reveals more about the centuries- old history and brewing traditions of the Weissbier specialists. You can trace the development of the art of brewing and in doing so discover more about this centre for beer craft. Visitors see the brewery, its original craft beer cellar and the tower cellar. You can then explore the 35 metre high landmark and, after successfully negotiating the climb, enjoy the fantastic view over Abensberg from the viewing platform. The visit to the world of beers is rounded off with beer tasting and pretzels. The grounds have had another highlight to offer since 2014 - the KunstHausAbensberg. This accessible work of art - planned by the architect Peter Pelikan - houses a permanent Hundertwasser exhibition which provides visitors with a unique insight into the varied life and work of the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The exhibition includes work from Hundertwasser‘s original and graphic applied art, and also papers showing his work in the area of architecture.

23 S Befreiungshalle

n Kelheim, the eye is drawn by the Befreiungshalle („Hall of Liberation“). Like the Walhalla in Donaustauf, the Befreiungshalle on Michelsberg was commissioned by King Ludwig I. Friedrich von Gärtner began constructing the hall in 1842. After his death, it was completed by the architect Leo von Klenze in 1863. It was intended as a memorial to the wars of liberation against Napoleon from 1813 to 1815. The building consists of three levels and is made of lime stone. There are 18 statues enthroned all around the outer facade which stand for the battles of the German tribes involved. The number 18 also represents the dates of the Battle of Leipzig (October 18, 1813) and the Battle of Waterloo (June 18, 1815). I The size of the Befreiungshalle is impressive, at 45 metres in height and 29 metres in diameter. To reach the interior, you have to climb 125 steps. Forty more steps lead to the terrace, from which you have a good view of the town of Kelheim and the Danube. The opening in the dome lights up the spacious interior. The walls are arranged in 18 segmental arches. Two goddesses of victory made of white marble stand on pillars in front of each of the arches. They stand with their arms outstretched and are around three metres tall. A total of 34 goddess statues were designed by the sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler, representing the member states of the German Confederation. There are bronze shields cast from captured guns behind them in the centre. Above the entrance to the rotunda, which is seven metres high, you can read the carved dedication: DEN TEUTSCHEN BEFREIUNGSKAEMPFERN, LUDWIG I - KOENIG VON BAYERN (To the German freedom fighters, Ludwig I - King of Bavaria). There has been a visitors‘ centre here since April 2004. The Befreiungshalle celebrated its 150 year anniversary in 2013.

The “document Schnupftabakfabrik” is truly unique in the rich landscape of Regensburg museums. It was once a medieval patrician house, then later used by ambassadors to the Perpetual Imperial Parliament, and at times by the Princes of Thurn und Taxis. Three of its rooms are preserved with original fittings from the times of the Bernard snuff factory which occupied the building from 1812. This demonstrates the pre- and early industrial aroma of fine tobacco—the “document processing in what was once Germany’s Schnupftabakfabrik” is a museum to enthrall all largest snuff factory.
