This is an interesting place for every person who has a Deutche Shaeferhund (German shepherd).
Verein fuer Deutsche Schaeferhunde (the Union of German shepherd owners) has its headquaters in Augsburg.
My wife Irina is a member of LG16 of this Union. This group unites members who are not residents of Germany.

Here is kept Saint Afra's body, but this is not the original grave, lying in the crypt. Follow me there, it's a part you should absolutely not miss if you visit this church.
You can read the story of the saint in the two links below.

Maximilianmuseum collects mostly documents on the history of the city. Particularly important are the original texts of the Peace Treaties of Augsburg (1555) and Westfalen (1648), which ended the religious war in Deutschland after Martin Luther's Protestant Revolution. You will find there also some versions of the Confessio Augustana, the new Lutheran confession, as well as much more.
The museum hosts now also the exhibition Als Frieden möglich war ("When peace was possible"), that informs you about the evolving of religious freedom in Deutschland and in Europe during the centuries.
The bad sides of this museum are the quite high ticket fare (5.50 euro for a student, I think) and the prohibition to take photos.
The museum is close on Mondays.

Here you see the famous PERLACH TOWER and the TOWN HALL......
It is here that in summer it is fun to enjoy the sun.......but also in WINTER there is a very exciting event that takes place in this market square.
The CHRISTKINDLESMARKT, the famous German Christmas "markets" where it is so fantastic to walk, to buy Christmas gifts, to drink GL?HWEIN and.....when you hear ANGELS sing, don't think it is because you drank a bit more than 1 or 2 glasses of Gl?hwein......no..........you will hear AND SEE real ANGELS..
During the WEEKEND 23 singing (Augsburger) ANGELS will appear in the windows of the famous TOWN HALL.....
You won't believe your eyes and ears.......it must be so touching..........
This FUGGER-STADT ' s CHRISTMAS markets is really one of Germany's finest.....for over 500 years already, imagine that and then do visit.....

Here it is really ALL GOLD THAT GLITTERS and is eyeblinding............this is the famous SPIEGELSAL in the SCHAEZLER Castle.....
This interior is in ROCOCO STYLE, that frankly speaking not one of my favourite styles is.
This is so exuberant that it is tiresome and a bit irritating ....but, that is my experience.....
In this PALACE is a DEUTSCHE BAROCKGALERIE, a special GALERIE with GERMAN PAINTINGS and much, much more...
Then there is :
the MAXIMILIANMUSEUM to visit...
the NEUE GALERIE IM H?HMANN-HAUS
the R?MISCHES MUSEUM
and the STAATSGALERIE in the KUNSTHALLE
and these TREASURES all together are the ST?DTISCHE KUNSTSAMMLUNGEN AUGSBURG!!
Sorry, but you will have to stay a few days longer than you expected to stay here...........and it will be so very worthwhile....
Do enjoy it all!

This historic building houses the State Art Gallery, which contains brilliant paintings by Old Masters such as Dürer, Holbein and Cranach.
The subjects of these paintings are exclusively religious. Many of them show Christian saints (with halos) being martyred in hideous ways. So I wouldn't take impressionable children to see these paintings, they might have nightmares about them afterwards.
The State Art Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Maximilian Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This museum in Leopold Mozart's birth house was renovated, expanded and modernized in 2005/2006. It includes paintings and musical instruments of the eighteenth century, along with exhibits on Leopold Mozart's childhood and youth in Augsburg.
The name Mozart originated in the countryside around Augsburg, and there are displays showing which of Mozart's ancestors lived in which villages, and what they did there. By 1480 someone named Mozart was already living in the city of Augsburg, and Wolfgang's great-great-grandfather David Mozart was born in Augsburg in around 1620.
