Germany......16 Years Later....Regensburg

My favorite German city. How fortunate I was to be assigned to the school in Regensburg during my/our time there. The school was located on a German Kaserne in a World War II hospital. The classrooms were large, but not much storage until they remodeled the building...two years before the school closed.

Nothing was better during my first year than to wander around the streets of the Altstadt. Known as a vacation spot for Europeans, the U. S. A. tourists seemed to stay in Munich, Nurnberg, or visit the castles of Ludwig while bypassing the beauty of Regensburg. Tourist information now announces Regensburg as the "northernmost Italian city."

Over the entrance to St. Peter's Cathedral

Beautiful stained glass

No heating, but the pews had 'seat warmers.'
Even with the warmers, I would bundle up, keep my gloves on and
sit on my hands while listening to the Dom Spatzen. The
local ladies wore their furs.

A gargoyle ...So many fascinating details
inside and out

Looking at the Old Stone Bridge

View of St. Peter's from the Stone Bridge built 1130's-1140's
Donau (Danube) River

Historic Wurstkuche built to serve the bridge and cathedral
builders. It's still serving!

...the menu hasn't changed much after all these years.

We remembered this!

Possibly the best selection of maps we've seen
