Baumburger Turm, Medieval patrician tower in Regensburg, Germany.
The Baumburger Tower is a medieval residential tower rising through seven stories in Regensburg's Old Town. Its facade features round-arched arcades and Gothic window groups that face the street, creating a distinctive medieval appearance.
The tower was built around 1270 by the Ingolstetter family and later passed to the Baumburger family in the 1300s. Residential extensions added in the 1400s shaped the structure you see today.
The tower reflects how wealthy families in medieval Regensburg lived, combining their home with a private chapel for daily worship. You can sense the blend of domestic and spiritual life that mattered to these prominent households.
The tower sits in the Old Town center at Watmarkt 4 and is easy to reach on foot. A restaurant occupies the ground floor, giving visitors a chance to experience the medieval interior while dining.
A Renaissance courtyard south of the tower features arcade walkways and once housed a metalworking shop for centuries. This hidden space reveals the city's connection to craft and skilled trades beyond its noble families.
