Discover 800 Years of History at the Foot of the Bridge in Regensburg

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the tour "The Hospital", Gem at the Foot of the Bridge – 800 Years (Re)telling opens the view to an extraordinary place in the history of the city of Regensburg. Between the historical hospital church, the banks of the Danube, and Stadtamhof, it becomes visible how closely care, faith, craftsmanship, administration, and Bavarian lifestyle have been interconnected for centuries.

A Historical Microcosm with Six Areas of Life

The St. Catherine Hospital is older than the Regensburg Cathedral and still forms a remarkable microcosm today. Nursing home, brewery, archive, parish, forest, and administration are part of this unique historical structure. The city tour makes this connection vivid and leads directly into a cultural heritage that is easily overlooked in everyday life.

History to Touch Between Church and Danube

At the foot of the bridge, a special atmosphere unfolds: sacred architecture, historical walls, and the vibrant surroundings of Stadtamhof tell of Regensburg’s development over eight centuries. The hospital church of St. Catherine serves as an impressive starting point for a discovery tour that connects local history with architectural and societal contexts.

City Tour with Expert Guidance

The approximately two-hour event is led by Wolfgang Ederer and offered in cooperation with kulttouren – Association of Regensburg Tour Guides e.V. The number of participants is limited to 5 to 20 people. This creates a personal discovery experience with room for historical context, questions, and special insights into the hospital.

This tour shows Regensburg away from classic sights. Instead of just walking past the historical facade, visitors experience the hospital as a grown institution and as a part of city society. The combination of architecture, local history, and lived tradition makes the event a cultural enrichment for Regensburg connoisseurs and curious guests.
