After Munich , Nuremberg and Augsburg , Regensburg, in size, the fourth city in the Land. Regensburg was awarded the Prize of Europe of 1997 Geography Regensburg is located on the northernmost point of the Danube and at the mouths of two of its tributaries, the Regen and Naab. Two islands in the Danube on the territory of the city: Untere and Obere Whrd Whrd. The district Stadtamhof was originally on the north bank of the Danube, but was transformed into an island by the construction of the Canal de l'Europe . Four natural areas very different affect on the territory of the city: These natural areas mark the city in its form and its extension. The city is in a classic situation is at an intersection between the hills and the Guboden. It follows that some neighborhoods north and west have no or little potential for expansion. All the territories of present and future development of the city to the east and south, that is to say in the great plain of the Danube and the beginnings of the relatively flat landscape of hills of Lower Bavaria. The following towns and municipalities, which all belong to the Landkreis Regensburg , Regensburg are close . They are listed in the direction of clockwise, starting north: Lappersdorf , Zeitlarn , Wenzenbach , Tegernheim , Barbing , Neutraubling , Obertraubling , Pentling , Sinzing and Pettendorf. The French name of the city relies on its Celtic name Ratisbona, where Regensburg. Ratis spleen or in Celtic means "wall, rampart," hence "strong" (cf. Argentorate , former name of Strasbourg ). You have to read or spleen ratis because homograph ratis, fern, reads ratis (cf. Breton raden). The second element bona means "foundation, city" (cf. Juliobona , Vindobona ). The German name derived from the name of Regensburg the river Regen. On the territory of Celts , the Romans established in 179 Castra Regina, a military camp, to where the Regen flows into the Danube. At the time Merovingian , Regensburg, capital of Bavariya , was the residence of Agilolfing , first Duke of Bavaria. In 739 St. Boniface , the apostle of the German nation, it established a bishopric. The city reached its peak of political and economic twelfth / thirteenth century, when it stood at the crossroads of major trade routes important. From this time dates the great monuments of the city, Steinerne Brcke (Stone Bridge 310 m long spanning the Danube built between 1135 and 1146 ), the cathedral gothic (consecrated in 1276), the Altes Rathaus (Old Hall city) and the patrician towers. In 1245 Emperor Frederick II bestowed the rank of Regensburg free imperial city (Freie Reichsstadt "), which gave him some political autonomy. However, Regensburg was later ousted in favor of other Bavarian cities. Over the following centuries, many imperial diets ("Reichstag") took place here. The Diet of 1541 , attended the humanistic Melanchthon and Bucer , tried to find a compromise between Catholicism and Reformation , without success. In 1542, Regensburg officially passed to the reformed religion (like most free cities of the Empire), but she remained at the same time the seat of the Catholic diocese, so that the two religions coexisted. In 1663, the city became the permanent seat of the diet ("Immerwhrender Reichstag"). It was also at Regensburg that the Empire was dissolved under the pressure of troops Napoleon in 1803 ("Reichsdeputationshauptschluss). He was the successor to the electorate of Mainz after the Reichstag from 1802. In 1810 the town was annexed by the new Kingdom of Bavaria created by Napoleon and became a city of second rank for over 150 years.

They maintained close cultural links with Cashel in Ireland. The city introduced the Reformation from 1528 (the first public Eucharist took place October 15, 1542). However, as the Episcopal and many monasteries that did not belong to the city itself remained, represented the Catholic faith stayed in the city. She even became the dominant religion in the wake of a large immigration. The economic takeoff of Regensburg after the Second World War began relatively late. The technical college and the foundation of the university in 1967 formed the basis for a very dynamic economic development, strengthened by implementing a series of large enterprises. In June 2006, the unemployment rate stood at 6.2%, below the average Bavarian.

History
During WWII , Regensburg was not industrialized and was thus very little affected by Allied bombing, which allowed him to retain almost intact its medieval old town. After the war took root several companies, especially the automobile industry ( BMW , Continental ) and the electronics industry ( Siemens , AEG , Toshiba ), which gave new impetus to the region. Similarly, the foundation of the 4th Bavarian university in the city in 1967 has contributed to the development of Regensburg, which has over 20,000 students. Before being elected pope , Joseph Ratzinger has been a teacher in theology from 1969 to 1977.
