Augsburg, District capital in Bavaria, Germany.

Located at the intersection of the Wertach and Lech rivers, Augsburg extends over a plateau between these waterways in southern Germany's Swabian region.

Established in 15 BCE as Augusta Vindelicorum by Roman forces, Augsburg developed into an imperial free city in 1276 and maintained its independence until 1803.

The Renaissance Town Hall, Perlachturm bell tower, and Augsburg Cathedral represent centuries of architectural evolution through Gothic and medieval construction periods.

The central train station connects to Munich and Stuttgart through regular services, while an extensive network of trams and buses serves the urban area.

The Fuggerei, constructed in 1516, continues to function as a social housing complex with annual rent remaining at one Rhenish guilder, equivalent to 0.88 euros.
