Regensburg is an ancient city on the banks of the Danube with a rich history. Nowadays known primarily for its bridge, which is a symbol of the city. The biggest crowds of tourists go exactly on it. Stone bridge across the Danube was built in 1135-1146, respectively, and even was used by participants of the first Crusades.

From about 500 to 788  Regensburg was the capital of the Bavarian dukes Agilolfings. Then, until 1200 was the residence of the Bavarian bishops. And from 1200 to 1803 - the imperial city and has been directly subordinated to the emperor.
