With around 301,000 inhabitants, Augsburg is the third-largest city in Bavaria and one of the oldest cities in Germany.

The city combines an exceptionally rich history with forward-looking urban development and exemplifies a productive dialogue between tradition and modernity. From its Roman origins, Augsburg has developed a multifaceted architectural heritage. Sustainable urban planning preserves this heritage while creating space for high-quality new projects.

Augsburg is especially renowned for its water management system, which spans roughly 800 years of history and has played a decisive role in shaping the city’s craftsmanship and economic prosperity. Since 2019, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On our architectural tours in Augsburg, we explore both the historic city centre and current construction projects that are particularly noteworthy for their sustainable design and innovative architecture.
