Guided Story
Can you feel the whispers of history in the air? Right here, the Fugger and Welser families made their mark on the world. Imagine merchants bustling through Augsburg's streets in the 16th century, striking deals that would shape the future. You might know the Fuggers were pioneers in banking, but did you know they also advised kings and emperors? Turn around and check out the Wieselhaus to the north, a testament to the city's opulent past. And if you look west, you can see the towers of St. Severin, unchanged for centuries. Here, you're not just a visitor; you're stepping into history itself.
