Fuggerhäuser, Renaissance residential complex in Maximilianstraße, Augsburg, Germany
The Fuggerhäuser consists of two connected buildings featuring four inner courtyards adorned with Tuscan columns, arcades, marble elements, and decorative water basins.
Jakob Fugger commissioned the construction between 1512 and 1515, establishing the first Renaissance-style building constructed north of the Alps during that period.
The complex represents the economic power of the Fugger family through its extended facade along Maximilianstraße, reflecting the tax assessment methods of Renaissance Augsburg.
Three inner courtyards and a ground floor hall remain accessible to visitors, with a bookstore located at number 37 Maximilianstraße overlooking the Damenhof.
Martin Luther faced interrogation within these walls in 1518, marking a significant moment in the Protestant Reformation movement.
