Discover Regensburg literarily: a city tour between Old Town, Danube and great literature

This literary city tour takes you deep into the cultural heritage of Regensburg. On 16.05.2026, Dr. phil. Dieter Lohr will guide interested participants from the Emslanderhaus at Arnulfsplatz through the Old Town to Stadtamhof and back via a different route. The approximately 2.5-kilometer walk combines local history, architecture, and literature into a special discovery experience.

Literature meets World Heritage

Since 2006, Regensburg has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is one of the best-preserved medieval cities north of the Alps. This historical density makes the route so appealing: between narrow alleys, stony facades, and views over the Danube, texts and places unfold into a cultural enrichment that makes the city's history tangible.

Following in the footsteps of great names

The tour pays tribute to writers who have immortalized Regensburg in their works or who have been guests here. Goethe, Thomas Mann, and Georg Britting exemplify a long literary tradition that resonates throughout the city. Thus, the walk becomes a city tour that not only informs but also inspires.

Old Town and Stadtamhof as a vibrant backdrop

The route connects the historic Old Town with Stadtamhof, the smallest district of Regensburg on the island between the arms of the Danube. This change of perspective is precisely what adds to its charm: historical squares, the unique cityscape, and the contrast between the winding city center and the open Danube landscape create an intense travel feeling.
