Description
Tourist and historical map of Regensburg (Regensburg) from 1930 (Scale 1:5,000): the medieval city on the Danube, the Roman fort of Castra Regina, the 4 km and 10 km walking routes, the Stone Bridge and the central railway station.
This map shows the historic city of Regensburg, known as Regensburg in German, around 1930, at the highly precise scale of 1:5,000. Located in Bavaria (Bayern), at the northernmost point of the Danube, Regensburg is the administrative capital of the Upper Palatinate district (Oberpfalz). In the late 1920s and early 1930s, its population was around 80,000.
Regensburg’s history spans more than two millennia, beginning with the founding of the Roman legionary camp Castra Regina under Emperor Marcus Aurelius in 179 AD Once the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria, then a Free Imperial City and the seat of the Perpetual Imperial Diet from 1663 to 1806, it boasts exceptionally well-preserved medieval and Roman heritage. Published by the city’s urban planning office (Stadtbauamt), this 1930 map is a remarkably detailed guide to the city’s sights and heritage, highlighting the ancient Roman walls as well as two guided walking routes through the historic center.
Places and neighborhoods shown:
-
The medieval city and Roman camp (Castra Regina): the historic center is shown with the dotted outline of the Roman walls dating from 170–179 AD (Castra Regina), including St. Peter’s Cathedral (Der Dom), the Town Hall (Rathaus) and the Roman Gate (Porta Praetoria).
-
The Danube (Donau) and the Stone Bridge: the Danube winds through the north, flowing around its islands (Oberer Wöhrd, Unterer Wöhrd), crossed by the famous Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) leading to the suburb of Stadtamhof.
-
The northern riverbank suburbs: the map extends across the river to include Stadtamhof, Steinweg, Reinhausen and the confluence with the River Regen.
-
Thurn und Taxis Palace (St. Emmeram) and the southern parks: in the southern part of the city center are the magnificent princely complex of Thurn und Taxis (Fürstl. Thurn u. Taxis'sches Palais), St. Emmeram Abbey and the green belt of parks (Dörnberg Park, Stadt-Park).
-
The central railway station (Bahnhof) and railway facilities: at the bottom of the map, the large rail yard and central station border Bahnhof-Strasse.
-
Walking routes and monument key: the map shows a short 4 km route in red (Walk around the city: 4 km.) and a longer 10 km route in green (Walk around the city: 10 km.). A numbered index from 1 to 63 lists all the city's buildings, fountains, towers and museums.
Map key: this map of Regensburg at a scale of 1:5,000, drawn by the Stadtbauamt and printed by Heinrich Schiele in Regensburg, has a clear, educational aesthetic. Built-up blocks are filled with a flat grey-ochre tint, major buildings and monuments are drawn in perspective with brown outlines, parks and gardens stand out in soft green, and the waterways (the Danube and Regen) are shown in blue-grey. The bright red and green walking-route lines, along with the dotted outline of the Roman wall, structure the map's layout. An alphanumeric grid (A to F and 1 to 6) frames the document.
In brief: for anyone interested in Bavarian history, Roman-era Germany, the medieval heritage of the Danube or tourist maps from the 1930s, this map offers a vivid and highly informative portrait of Regensburg.
