Augsburger Zeughaus, Renaissance arsenal in Augsburg, Germany.

The Augsburger Zeughaus is a massive stone structure featuring elaborate Renaissance architectural details, designed by master builder Elias Holl from 1602 to 1607. Multiple levels connect through wide staircases that were originally planned to accommodate the movement of heavy artillery pieces.

Constructed between 1602 and 1607 as a masterwork of Renaissance building, the arsenal functioned as a military storage facility for weapons and equipment for nearly three centuries. Following this extended military period, the building was later repurposed and now serves cultural and educational functions.

Today the building houses the Sing- und Musikschule Mozartstadt Augsburg, where students learn music within these historic walls. This use connects musical education with the legacy of the structure's former military purpose.

The Zeughaus stands at Zeughausplatz 4 in Augsburg's old town. The main portal on the east side opens into the Toskanische Säulenhalle on the ground floor, where the Römisches Museum Augsburg's interim exhibition has been shown since June 2015. A restaurant with a large beer garden occupies part of the building.

The bronze St. Michael group over the east portal was cast by Wolfgang Neidhardt from more than 198 hundredweight of bronze, about 9,900 kg. The archangel with sword stands over Satan, flanked by an angel holding a banner and two putti, one with a spear. The same motif appears in Augsburg's Turamichele figure.
