The architecture of Regensburg represents the city's
role as a medieval trading centre and its influence in
the region north of the Alps.
Regensburg was an important transition point on continental trade routes to Italy, Bohemia, Russia
and Byzantium. It also had multiple connections with the transcontinental Silk Roads.
As such, the city exhibits an important interchange of cultural and architectural influences, which have
shaped its urban landscape.

testimony to cultural traditions especially in the Holy

In the 12th century Regensburg was an Imperial Free City and hosted
assemblies of the Empire.

Imperial Diet from the 1663 to 1806.

Important Aspects:
The actions will be implemented depending on financial resources, the congruence of the measures and their feasibility. A lot of the listed actions cannot be realized by the municipality only, but need support of urban society.
The process has shown how important contribution of civil society for World Heritage is. This great potential will be used in the future. It is planned to hold public discussion regularly in the future and to integrate those stakeholders in monitoring activities.
So public not only is informed about the implementation of the management plan, but influence the updating of it.
