Regensburg's squares tell stories
On September 29, 2026, the city tour Square Stories will guide individual guests through the southwestern old town of Regensburg. Amid historic buildings, expansive square spaces, and medieval traces, an impressive discovery experience unfolds with surprising insights into local history.
Historic squares with surprising episodes
The city tour focuses on the beautiful squares and their structures. At Arnulfsplatz, an unusual story recalls a former fountain that was relocated to the former New Bohemia. At Bismarckplatz, an original memorial plaque from the 16th century points to a grain storage facility commissioned by an Augsburg Fugger.
City history to touch
At Ägidienplatz, a lively dispute about its use as a market is recounted. Today, a building erected by King Ludwig II stands there. Such historical contexts make the city tour a cultural enrichment, demonstrating how closely architecture, everyday life, and social developments are interlinked.
