Augsburg

Augsburg is one of the most important cities in Bavaria and the whole of Germany. Elegant, full of splendor, with magnificent architecture, it attracted not only German society and artists, but also people from other parts of Europe. Augsburg owes much to the incredibly wealthy and influential Fugger family who worked in banking and commerce. In addition to multiplying their fortune, they also built numerous facilities in the city, e.g. the world's first housing estate.
