Ober-/Niederwinzer-Kager

The Ober-/Niederwinzer-Kager is a district north of Regensburg that combines historical buildings with vineyard landscapes and rural character. The area sits alongside the Danube River and shows how urban development has mixed with traditional farming.

Wine growing in this district traces back to the 7th century when land was transferred to monasteries by regional rulers. The trade continued through the centuries as a key activity even as the surrounding city transformed.

The St. Nicholas Church in Niederwinzer maintains its 13th-century architectural core, transitioning from Romanesque to Baroque architectural styles over time.

The district is easiest to reach from Regensburg's northern approaches, from where you can explore the vineyard areas and historic sections on foot. Walking routes along the Danube and through the wine regions offer a natural way to see the area.

A statue of Saint Nicholas marks a special spot by the Danube and honors the patron saint of the local parish church. The Salutaris wine variety, grown in the city's own vineyards, appears on the table at official receptions.
