Discover a City in Change: Regensburg during Dalberg's Time
Regensburg looks back on a tumultuous era: The city tour on November 7, 2026, is dedicated to the Dalberg period and explores the nearly eight years between 1803 and 1810, during which Karl Theodor von Dalberg ruled the Principality of Regensburg. Amidst the tradition of a Free Imperial City, Napoleon's influence, and the dawning Bavarian affiliation, a significant transitional phase in local history emerged.
Political Upheaval and Historical Orientation
The tour brings to life a time when Regensburg lost its longstanding status as a Free Imperial City and had to realign politically. Dalberg ruled under the strong influence of Napoleon while also facing the task of modernizing an economically stagnant city. Historical contexts are vividly connected to the cityscape and the cultural heritage of Regensburg.
Reforms, Residence City, and Cultural Impulses
The focus is on Dalberg's efforts to reorganize administration and justice, alleviate social grievances, and give new impulses to educational and cultural life. The city tour offers insights into his vision of a contemporary, representative residence city and shows how political decisions influenced daily life and the appearance of Regensburg.
Historical Discovery Experience at Bismarckplatz
The meeting point at the entrance of the theater at Bismarckplatz connects the present cultural city with its past. From here begins a two-hour city tour with historian Matthias Freitag M. A. The limited group size of 5 to 20 participants creates space for concentrated communication, personal questions, and an intense encounter with local history.
Expert Tour with Historical Depth
The event is offered by the Adult Education Center Regensburg. Matthias Freitag M. A. will guide through the historical epoch and contextualize Dalberg's actions between secularization, Napoleonic politics, and the transition to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Thus, a cultural enrichment is created for all who wish to experience Regensburg from a new perspective, aside from familiar sights.
