Augsburg, Bavaria is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The varied architecture in its center includes medieval guild houses, the 11th-century St. Mary's cathedral and the onion-domed Sankt Ulrich und Afra abbey. Key Renaissance buildings are the Augsburger Town Hall with its Golden Hall. The Fuggerhaüser is the seat of a wealthy banking dynasty and the Fuggerei is a 16th-century social housing complex.
The largest city on the Romantic Road (and Bavaria's third largest), Augsburg is also one of Germany’s oldest, founded by the stepchildren of Roman emperor Augustus over 2000 years ago. As an independent city state from the 13th century, it was also one of its wealthiest, free to raise its own taxes, with public coffers bulging on the proceeds of the textile trade. Banking families such as the Fuggers and the Welsers even bankrolled entire countries and helped out the odd skint monarch. However, from the 16th century, religious strife and economic decline plagued the city. Augsburg finally joined the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806.
Shaped by Romans, medieval artisans, bankers, traders and, more recently, industry and technology, this attractive city of spires and cobbles is an easy day trip from Munich or an engaging stop on the Romantic Road, though one with a grittier, less quaint atmosphere than others along the route.
Augsburg lies at the convergence of the Alpine rivers Lech and Wertach and on the Singold. The oldest part of the city and the southern quarters are on the northern foothills of a high terrace, which emerged between the steep rim of the hills of Friedberg in the east and the high hills of the west. In the south extends the Lechfeld, an outwash plain of the post ice age between the rivers Lech and Wertach, where rare primeval landscapes were preserved. The Augsburg city forest and the Lech valley heaths today rank among the most species-rich middle European habitats.

Augsburg Cathedral, Germany
Augsburg Cathedral is an 11th-century Romanesque cathedral with 14th-century Gothic additions in Bavaria, Germany. It contains many notable artworks, including the oldest stained glass windows in the country.
It is possible a church has stood here since the 4th century: foundations from this date have been found beneath the cathedral, but it is not clear the building was a church. The first known cathedral on this site was built in the late 8th century and the first written mention of it is in 822.
The cathedral was damaged during the Hungarian invasions and restored under Bishop Ulrich in 923. The west end collapsed in 994 and was rebuilt with the help of Empress Adelaide, who claimed to have foreseen the destruction in a vision.
Construction on the present Romanesque cathedral began under Bishop Henry IIin 1043 and was completed under his successor in 1065. This building still forms the core of the cathedral, although much of it was given a Gothic makeover from 1331 to 1431. The east choir is a fully Gothic addition of 1356-1431.
Iconoclasts seized and destroyed most of the cathedral's religious art during the Protestant Reformation (1537-48), some of which was restored later. The north tower was heightened in 1565.
The interior was given the Baroque treatment in 1655-58, then reversed in in 1852-63 to restore it to a romanticized vision of its medieval appearance. More medieval artworks were brought in to complete the effect. The Neo-Gothic elements were removed in 1934.
Augsburg Cathedral was fairly lucky in World War II; only the Lady Chapel and cloister were damaged. Extensive restorations of the interior were undertaken in 1983-84.

Chrisammesse im Augsburger Dom
So manche Touristen, die am vergangenen Mittwoch am Vormittag mit Ihren Fotoapparaten den Augsburger Dom aufsuchten, um ein paar Erinnerungsfotos zu schießen, staunten nicht schlecht, als sie drinnen waren – die Kathedrale: vollbesetzt, die Domsingknaben: auf Hochtouren, und die Atmosphäre: sehr, sehr feierlich. Dieser Mittwoch vor Ostern ist in der Diözese Augsburg einer ganz besonderen Messe gewidmet – der Chrisammesse.
Kirchenillumination St. Ilgen
Ein Jahrhundert ist es her, seit der Einweihung der Dreifaltigkeitskirche im Leimer Stadtteil St. Ilgen bei Heidelberg. Zum Jubiläum am 18. Juni 2016 wurde ein buntes Fest rund um das Gebäude organisiert. Als Abschluss des Festsamstags durften wir die charakteristische Fassade in besonderes Licht tauchen. Zum Einbruch der Dämmerung lockte die besondere Fassadenbeleuchtung die Besucher aus dem Festzelt. Verteilt auf dem kleinen Damm vor dem Leimbach konnten die Gäste ihren feierliche Samstag mit einer besinnlichen Licht- und Projektionsshow ausklingen lassen. Fassaden- und Turmillumniation verfeinert mit animierten Projektionen passend zur Architketur der Kirche verzauberten den Sonnabend auf dem Festgelände. Dabei holten wir die handgemalte Ornamentik aus dem Kirchenschiff und dem Altarbereich als sich entwickelnde, bewegte Struktur auf die Fassade.

Orgel
Die Martinskirche war die erste reformierte Kirche des Kantons, die nach der Reformationszeit mit einer Orgel ausgestattet wurde. Die erste Orgel stammte von Anton Menting aus Augsburg und wurde 1613 eingebaut. Die erste dreimanualige Orgel des Kantons Graubünden der Firma Kuhn aus Männedorf wurde hier 1868 eingebaut. Bei der Verlegung in den Chorraum wurde die Orgel von der Firma Goll aus Luzern erweitert und neu pneumatisiert. 1992 führte die Firma Orgelbau Kuhn einen Neubau im restaurativen Sinne durch. Das Kegelladen-Instrument hat 43 Register auf drei Manualen und Pedal. Die Spieltrakturen sind mechanisch, die Registertrakturen sind pneumatisch.

Martinskirche
Die Martinskirche ist ursprünglich eine romanische Kirche, die im 8. Jahrhundert gebaut wurde. Sie wurde im Jahre 769 geweiht und nach dem Heiligen Martin, Bischof von Thours (F), benannt. Anlässlich des Stadtbrandes von 1464 wurde die Martinskirche weitgehend zerstört. Der Wiederaufbau im Stil der Spätgotik wurde 1491 vollendet. Ab 1523 wurde die grosse Altstadtkirche zum Zentrum und Ausgangspunkt der Reformation in Chur durch den Maienfelder Pfarrer Johann Dorfmann, bekannt unter dem Namen Comander. In den Jahren 1917/1918 wurde sie wesentlichen Renovationsarbeiten unterzogen. Die berühmten Glasgemälde von Augusto Giacometti wurden 1919 in der Südwand eingesetzt. Sie erzählen die Weihnachtsgeschichte. Die Gottesdienste am Sonntagmorgen werden durch die grösste Orgel des Kantons Graubünden begleitet.
