 second fiddle but
impressive by richiecdiscLeave a Comment Directions: Neupfarrplatz is very close to the Domplatz. The Old Town is quite small and you're bound to get to just about every square if you wander around for a couple hours.

The Old Stone Bridge spans 310 meters over the Danube River and offers breathtaking views of the city. It was built in the 12th century and is a tribute to medieval ingenuity and shows the wealth of the city to undertake such a big project. Leave a Comment Directions: If you find the river, you find the bridge.

 Valhalla from the bike trail by bilgeez
As you may know, in German folklore, Valhalla is heaven, the place of the residence of the gods. In this earthly Valhalla, all people who made major contributions to Germany, German Culture and western society are memorialized here, either with plaques, busts or statues. It is a "who's-who" of German history. Among the honored is Albert Einstein, who also is the only Jewish and Naturalized American Citizen to have a place here. There are so many others, I don't have space or memory to place names here, just go and see for yourself!
As you can see, the building itself is an almost exact replica of the Parthenon in Athens. It is a monument to the German fascination of tying the mythological world to the real world and vice-versa.
Admission a few years ago was about 7DM, so figure today about 4 Euro or so. Leave a Comment Address: North side of Danube, 3km east of RegensburgDirections: Go north from city centre, across stone bridge, follow the signs. One can take a bike trail on the north side of the Danube to the foot of the Monument and walk uphill or take roads to it. It is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

 Knight on Police Station by bilgeez
Well because of one thing. The current main cop shop has a painting on the side of it of a knight holding a banner. The banner is red, and if one looks closely, one can faintly see the swastika that was painted over to the right centre of the banner.
A remnant of the Nazi era.
Just thought I'd share this with any WWII era history buffs. Leave a Comment Address: East of city centre might be on Maximillian Str.Directions: Just east of city centre, may be on Maximillian Strasse, don't remember!

It is interesting to note that the first wave of the 3rd crusade assembled in front of this church began their journey to the east from here. They walked down from the church to some boats that were docked on the bank of the Danube. They only made it about one kilometer before crashing into the Steinerebruecke - I guess they tried again on the next day launching from the other side of the bridge. Address: between Bismarckplz and JakobstorDirections: Go west from Bismarckplatz on Jakobstr. Its on the left.

 On Guard! by bilgeez
It was explained to me that this was placed there in case one of the locals had a few steins too many and decided to vent his feelings about civil politics on the Burghermeister. When he stumbled over to the Rathaus and encountered this scene, it was hoped the fellow would think he was being run off and loose his bravado. Leave a Comment Address: Altes Rathaus, city centre.Directions: City Centre near Alte Steinbruecke

The BMW factory in Regensburg gave tours there on certain days of the week. They may still, it was very interesting. The tour guide spoke excellent English. The plant is south of the city in an industrial area. City buses do go there, but one has to pay the extra fare for a "Fernfahrt" as it is away from the city.
Check BMW's website to see if they have tour info. If I find any better info in my "archives" I will add it in here. Leave a Comment Address: South of city in industrial zone.Directions: South of Regensburg.Website: BMW.de
