Straubing, Administrative district capital in Lower Bavaria, Germany

Located in southeastern Bavaria, Straubing spreads across the Danube River with Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, and Rococo buildings spanning 600 meters of city square.

The Romans established their settlement Sorviodurum in 16-14 BC, leaving numerous artifacts discovered in 1950 including the valuable Roman treasure at Gäuboden Museum.

The city holds the Gäubodenvolksfest each August, the second largest festival in Bavaria, featuring regional traditions, music performances, and Bavarian customs.

The Technical University of Munich operates a satellite campus in Straubing, focusing on renewable energy research and technological advancement.

The medieval tower of Straubing stands as a watchtower near the Danube River, where ships historically paid customs duties during their passage.
