Regensburg: Neupfarrplatz
Neupfarrplatz sits in the Danube valley in Regensburg, Bavaria, where medieval streets open into a broad civic square. It occupies the site of Regensburg’s medieval Jewish quarter, whose synagogue was destroyed in 1519; archaeological traces and a memorial preserve its history. The Protestant Neupfarrkirche, erected after the expulsion of the Jewish community, gives the square its distinctive twin-towered silhouette. Gabled townhouses, shops and cafés around it form part of Regensburg’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. The city developed from the Roman legionary camp of Castra Regina and became an important medieval trading centre on the Danube. Neupfarrplatz remains a key place for understanding the old city’s compact layout and layered past.

Regensburg straddles the Danube in Bavaria, and its position at the meeting of the Danube and Regen has long made it a trading and transport centre. Founded as the Roman legionary camp Castra Regina in AD 179, the city preserves an exceptionally cohesive medieval core, recognised with Stadtamhof as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 12th-century Stone Bridge crosses the Danube toward the old town, while the twin spires of Gothic Regensburg Cathedral define the historic skyline. Markets, beer gardens and riverside walks keep this former imperial city closely connected to everyday Bavarian life.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany.
