On our way home to Bruchsal we stopped at Regensburg. It is a beautiful old town, really interesting. The medieval center of Regensburg is Unesco World Cultural Heritage.
It is located at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers.
The first settlements in Regensburg date to the Stone Age. The Celtic name Radasbona was the oldest name given to a settlement near the present city. Around AD 90 the Romans built a small "cohort-fort" in what would now be the suburbs.
The Regensburg Cathedral (German: Kathedrale St. Peter or Regensburger Dom), dedicated to St Peter, is the most important church and landmark of the city Regensburg, Germany. It is the seat of the Catholic diocese of Regensburg. The church is the prime example of Gothic architecture in southern Germany. It is also the home of the Regensburger Domspatzen ("cathedral sparrows"), a choir rich in tradition. wikipedia
It was so dark in the cathedral, that we only could take a photo without me.
