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 />

6 Foreword<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>

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 />

tine, their beliefs as well as the impressive<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 />

Exceptional and Unique<br />

The Donau Einkaufszentrum in the north<br />

of <strong>Regensburg</strong> was one of the first American<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 />

and alleyways, the visitor will quickly understand<br />

why <strong>Regensburg</strong> is called “Italy’s<br />

most northern city”.<br />

Û www.donaueinkaufszentrum.de<br />

Another shopping attraction in the north<br />

of <strong>Regensburg</strong> is Alex-Center, located<br />

in the Hans-Hayder-Straße. The largest<br />

store, Kaufland, is similar to Walmart<br />

in its range of goods and service. Alex-<br />

Center is home to many other stores, including<br />

optician, dry cleaning, fashion,

The <strong>Regensburg</strong> Arcaden is located on the<br />

southern edge of the Old Town. A covered<br />

pedestrian bridge connects the Arcaden<br />

to <strong>Regensburg</strong>’s main train station. The<br />

modern ambience of the Arcaden, with<br />

its broad mix of brand name stores, 90<br />

stores in all, is especially<br />

attractive to young shoppers.<br />

Parking is easy with<br />

<strong>Regensburg</strong>’s Old Town is not only<br />

famous for its rich history and<br />

many unique stores but also for<br />

its restaurants and nightlife.<br />

<strong>Regensburg</strong>’s restaurants offer everything<br />

from regional Bavarian specialties<br />

to culinary delights from all over<br />

the world. As soon as the first rays of spring<br />

sun warm the city, tables and chairs are set<br />

outside and the entire town is transformed<br />

into a veritable outdoor paradise. Cafés<br />

spring up in the streets, the city’s courtyards<br />

turn into idyllic outdoor restaurants<br />

with <strong>Regensburg</strong>’s historic backdrop giving<br />

it all an Italian flair.<br />

To escape the heat of hot summer days, the<br />

visitor can enjoy the cool shade under giant<br />

chestnut trees in classic Bavarian beer<br />

gardens. Two popular beer gardens can be<br />

found right next to the Stone Bridge. Here<br />

you can enjoy refreshing food and drink<br />

while taking in the unforgettable views of<br />

the cathedral and city across the river.<br />

The 30,000 students from <strong>Regensburg</strong>’s<br />

three universities guarantee a lively nightlife.<br />

Bars and clubs invite the visitor to party<br />

and dance into the early morning hours.<br />

Restaurant listings can be<br />

most unique little restaurants. For<br />

over 500 years, this traditional little tavern<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 />

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 />
