Sightseeing<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> is almost 2,000 years old. Today,<br />
you can still see the ruins of the original Roman<br />
fortress walls. The Old Town, a UNESCO World<br />
Heritage Site, has kept its medieval character.<br />
Here you will find a short tour of the city and<br />
important information about guided tours in<br />
English.<br />
My Tip<br />
for <strong>Regensburg</strong>!<br />
Throughout “<strong>Discover</strong> <strong>Regensburg</strong>”<br />
you will find<br />
many tips by Nickayla Myers-<br />
Garner, a dedicated fan of<br />
the city.<br />
Nickayla, a native of North<br />
Carolina, is a Hohenfels community<br />
member who cur-<br />
Nickayla Myers-Garner<br />
rently lives in the Old Town<br />
of <strong>Regensburg</strong>. She moved to <strong>Regensburg</strong> from<br />
Parsberg 2.5 years ago and “has not regretted<br />
one moment of it”, as she herself says. She was<br />
able to find everything she needed to be happy<br />
while living there: access to great shops, fun leisure<br />
activities, interesting international friends,<br />
English speakers and exciting places to explore.<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> makes it easy for American visitors,<br />
says Nickayla.<br />
„When traveling here don’t let the language barrier<br />
intimidate you, many <strong>Regensburg</strong>ers speak<br />
English and are eager to assist visitors to the city.<br />
As soon as you arrive in <strong>Regensburg</strong> for the first<br />
time go to the <strong>Regensburg</strong> Tourist Information<br />
Office which is located in the town hall (Altes<br />
Rathaus) where the friendly staff will help you<br />
find activities to suit most of your needs.”<br />
Translation help in the Internet<br />
Not all Internet sites about <strong>Regensburg</strong> offer information in English. Google’s<br />
translation service site: http://translate.google.com can help you out in a pinch.<br />
The translations are not perfect but often good enough to help you understand<br />
the content of the German Internet site.<br />

<strong>Discover</strong> <strong>Regensburg</strong>!<br />
Dear American Neighbors in<br />
Bavaria,<br />
As mayor of the City<br />
of <strong>Regensburg</strong>, I would<br />
like to extend a cordial<br />
invitation to you to<br />
visit us. <strong>Regensburg</strong>,<br />
the largest city in<br />
Eastern Bavaria has<br />
much to offer to its<br />
visitors. First of all it<br />
has its long and interesting history, which<br />
begins in the year 175 A.D. with the establishment<br />
of a military camp. In order to<br />
secure the northern border of the Roman<br />
Empire along the Danube, Emperor Marcus<br />
Aurelius called for the building of a military<br />
settlement for 6,000 soldiers: Castra Regina<br />
- the fortress on the river Regen (<strong>Regensburg</strong>).<br />
The name comes from the northern<br />
most river, the Regen river, which flows<br />
into the Danube here.<br />
up much of the old part of the city today.<br />
For that reason, <strong>Regensburg</strong> has been entered<br />
onto the list of UNESCO World Heritage<br />
Sites.<br />
We, however, do not only focus on the past.<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> is a city with three universities<br />
and serves as headquarters to many important<br />
companies. <strong>Regensburg</strong> is one of the<br />
major driving forces in the German economy<br />
today.<br />
When you come visit us, you will find a<br />
thousand possibilities to shop, to go out,<br />
to go sightseeing, or take in cultural and<br />
sporting events. Did you know that <strong>Regensburg</strong><br />
is the home of the reigning German<br />
baseball champions - the Buchbinder Legionaires?<br />
With this brochure “<strong>Discover</strong> <strong>Regensburg</strong>!”,<br />
we would like to whet your appetite to<br />
come discover <strong>Regensburg</strong> for yourself.<br />
You won’t be disappointed!<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> became rich and famous in the<br />
Middle Ages. Wealthy merchant families<br />
traded with the luxury goods of that time<br />
across all of Europe. The architecture of the<br />
Middle Ages has been preserved and makes<br />
Yours Sincerely,<br />
Hans Schaidinger<br />
Mayor of the City of <strong>Regensburg</strong>

Walking north from the cathedral, you<br />
reach the banks of the Danube. Here is<br />
where the giant Stone Bridge, built between<br />
1135 and 1146, arches across the river.<br />
For hundreds of years the bridge was the<br />
only bridge between Ulm and Vienna that<br />
offered a reliable means to cross the Danube.<br />
In the middle of the bridge you Justizgebäude will<br />
find the “Bruckmandl” (the bridge man), a<br />
Justizgebäude<br />
small statue that has been looking up at<br />
the cathedral since the 15 th century. Legend<br />
has it that he represents the Justizgebäude master<br />

buildings which have stood the test of time.<br />
With the bridge at your back, you continue<br />
up the narrow Brueckstraße directly<br />
up to the Goliathhaus. On the façade of<br />
the building you find a giant mural representing<br />
the story of David and Goliath.<br />
Turning right on the Goliathstraße, you<br />
cross a small open square, the Kohlenmarkt<br />
(Charcoal market) and reach the<br />
Old Town Hall. This building was, at one<br />
time, not only the residence of the city<br />
government but also housed the Perpetual<br />
Imperial Assembly from 1663 to 1806,<br />
where rulers and ambassadors from all<br />
over Europe met to discuss matters.<br />
Today the Old Town Hall is home to a museum,<br />
the Reichstagsmuseum, including<br />
the eerie, yet fascinating, ancient torture<br />
chamber in the cellar of the town hall.<br />

Shopping in <strong>Regensburg</strong>:<br />
No wish left unfulfilled<br />
© Tino Lex<br />
A shopping tour in <strong>Regensburg</strong><br />
leaves no wish unfulfilled. The<br />
city offers large shopping malls<br />
and specialty retails stores just<br />
like those found at home.<br />
The Old Town, however, offers a very<br />
special shopping experience. Here<br />
you will find many small, lovingly run<br />
shops. Each one set like a little jewel in the<br />
historical ambience of the Old Town. Most<br />
of the stores in Germany accept credit<br />
cards even if this is not announced with<br />
a sticker on the door, the exception often<br />
being very small shops. If you are unsure<br />
about this, don’t hesitate to ask the shopkeeper!<br />

The Donau Einkaufszentrum in the north<br />

style malls in Germany. Today, <strong>Regensburg</strong>’s<br />
biggest mall offers a variety<br />
of 140 shops, specialty stores and cafés.<br />
From fashion to entertainment electronics,<br />
toys and books, from flower and garden<br />
supplies to cosmetics, here you can<br />
find everything you need. Restaurants,<br />
cafés and specialty food shops make<br />
certain that you don’t go hungry while<br />
shopping. With 3,000 free<br />
parking spaces, parking is<br />
easy.<br />
Open Monday thru Saturday<br />
9:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.<br />
burg shops are located side by side next<br />
to stores of international chains and large<br />
department stores. The many restaurants,<br />
cafés and bars offer treats to satisfy every<br />
palate. In the Old Town, you can combine<br />
a day of sightseeing with the fun of shopping.<br />
Strolling through the narrow streets<br />

why <strong>Regensburg</strong> is called “Italy’s<br />
most northern city”.<br />

Another shopping attraction in the north<br />
of <strong>Regensburg</strong> is Alex-Center, located<br />

Frank Mosher extends an invitation to his countrymen:<br />
Come Enjoy the Medieval City<br />
„Come and experience this<br />
wonderful city with its Roman<br />
roots and medieval flair.“<br />
Frank Mosher gets excited when he<br />
thinks about <strong>Regensburg</strong>’s 2,000 year<br />
history. Right behind his McDonalds<br />
restaurant in the Maxstraße, there are ruins<br />
Frank Mosher<br />
from the original wall of the Roman fortress<br />
that protected the founders of the city from Bridge, built in 1146. Frank Mosher was born<br />
their enemies. It is not just the Old Town that in the U.S. and started his McDonalds business<br />
empire in <strong>Regensburg</strong> in 1987. “I would<br />
makes this city so wonderful, according Mr.<br />
Mosher, there is much more. “Here you can love it if my fellow countrymen would take<br />
marvel at medieval architecture.” The narrow<br />
alleyways, the Patrician towers, the region and visit <strong>Regensburg</strong> and enjoy this<br />
advantage of their time in the Oberpfalz<br />

Clinics with the Highest<br />
Level of Health Care<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> medical clinics have an excellent reputation worldwide<br />
R<br />
egensburg is an important medical<br />
treatment location for U.S. citizens<br />
in the Oberpfalz and ranks<br />
with the Regional Medical Center in<br />
Landstuhl near Kaiserlautern, the largest<br />
hospital outside of the U.S., according<br />
to Dr. Ludwig Hecht, a doctor with<br />
a certification from the Pentagon. For<br />
over 21 years, Dr. Hecht has been treating<br />
U.S. Army personnel in the Oberpfalz<br />
and is well acquainted with their<br />
situation. U.S. Army personnel and their<br />
families receive top treatment throughout<br />
the world, however, “there is more<br />
distance in the relationship between<br />
doctor and patient in the USA”.<br />
Is personal attention a criterion for<br />
choosing medical treatment? “I think it<br />
does indeed play a role when everything<br />
else is functioning equally well” believes<br />
Dr. Hecht. That is certainly the case in<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong>: The clinics are able to cover<br />
almost the entire spectrum of the medical<br />
care portfolio and their influence<br />
extends far beyond the region of Eastern<br />
Bavaria. The doctors and researchers at<br />
the university hospital and the six other<br />
big hospitals have an excellent reputation<br />
throughout the world. The quality<br />
of the medical treatment has always<br />
been the most important aspect. This<br />
can be attributed to the way the clinics<br />
work together and the networking between<br />
doctors and medical care facilities<br />
in the city.<br />
A medical cluster has developed here<br />
and has made <strong>Regensburg</strong> into a quality<br />
medical treatment center, where all<br />
illnesses can be carefully diagnosed and<br />
treated.

My Tip<br />
Nickayla<br />
Myers-Garner<br />
<strong>Regensburg</strong> always has<br />
entertaining festivals<br />
and cultural events<br />
happening. There is always<br />
something to do<br />
in the city. My biggest<br />
problem on the weekend<br />
is trying to narrow down and<br />
decide which activities to attend as<br />
there are many events happening in<br />
the city each weekend.<br />
