Guided Story

Imagine stepping into a time machine. That's the feeling you get here. Look around, these walls have seen over 500 years of history. Picture Jakob Fugger, the wealthy merchant, walking nearby, establishing this place to house Augsburg's needy. Behind you is the World War bunker, a silent witness to the city's resilience amidst turmoil. Ahead is the museum apartment, offering a glimpse into the past. Notice the small details – the dishes, the furnishings. They reveal how people lived back then. And if you look up, you'll see the roof that has sheltered centuries of human stories and survival.
