Regensburg

The Regensburg district spans across both sides of the Danube River, encompassing 41 municipalities with diverse landscapes of forests, agricultural fields, and small towns.

The district formation occurred on July 1, 1862, as part of Bavaria's administrative reforms to establish structured local governance and regional development systems.

The district maintains numerous medieval structures, traditional Bavarian festivals, and local customs, with regular celebrations in towns like Donaustauf and Wörth an der Donau.

The administrative center operates from Regensburg city, managing public services, infrastructure development, and coordination between the district's 41 municipalities.

The district contains the Walhalla memorial, a monumental building resembling a Greek temple, situated on a hill overlooking the Danube River near Donaustauf.
