Speaking of germany, there are many familiar cities, the legendary capital of berlin, the northern port city of hamburg, southern beer capital munich, the city of frankfurt. .。 Although many cities in Germany look the same, it can also be said that each city has its own personality. In fact, there is a little-known second-tier city in Germany, is the real place to crouch the tiger and hide the dragon.
Augsburg, in the southern state of Bavaria, is one of Germany's oldest cities. The old city here still has a strong medieval atmosphere, the flight to anhui city was founded in 15 B.C. Roman Emperor Augustus era, has a history of more than 2000 years.
As the family home of the great musician Mozart, Augsburg has the reputation of "the city of Mozart" and is one of the most important and beautiful historical and cultural cities in Germany. In fact, there are many celebrities, such as the great german poet and writer brecht, architect wilser and so on, which also make the city shining and magnificent.
Augsburg is Germany's famous city of literature and art, where art and a sense of history coexist, and Renaissance-style architecture abounds: gorgeous fountains, towering buildings, magnificent churches, towering town halls, towering bell towers. .。 In the city, as if time goes back, into the medieval European style painting scroll.
Built by Romans, bankers, traders and medieval artists, the city has been a place of trade since ancient times, ushering in the most prosperous flight to guangdong period of the 15-16th century. To this day, Augsburg remains one of Germany's richest cities, especially some large families, with inestimable wealth.
Among them, the richest families are the Big Banker and the Big Businessman Fugger. The family is a wealthy enemy, with fugel's empire of commerce and banking at the height of the 15-16th century stretching from the atlantic to eastern europe, where even the emperors of some european countries had to lend to the fugers, and its influence was important.
The Fogel family is not only rich but also very kind-hearted. The family has built the world's first social-welfare neighborhood in Augsburg, providing accommodation for the city's struggling people, which is not only well-populated and well-equipped, but also, most importantly, very low rent, at only 0.88 euros a year! The fee is, of course, symbolic, the equivalent of a free home for the poor.
The welfare community, which has been in existence for more than 400 years, is still well-preserved and still houses more than 150 low-income people or elderly people living in Augsburg, where rent has not been raised for 400 years and is still Euro0.88 a year, which can be said to be a real benefit for these generations. Even Franz Mozart's great-grandfather had lived here.
Augsburg, one of Germany's oldest cities. But the city suffered severe damage during World War II, but after constant renovation, the old city's medieval style is still old. Walk the old city, simple and colorful city buildings, flat and spacious stone streets, slow and leisurely pace of life. .。 Let me love at first sight, deeply like here.
Augsburg, Germany's more affluent city, saw news yesterday that all public transport in the city would be free of charge from January, with free buses, trams, light rail, subways and other public transport in the downtown area, whether locals or tourists. This is not only a rich performance of the city, but more important is to encourage the public to use more public transport, reduce driving, reduce carbon emissions, has achieved the goal of environmental protection and improve air quality. Do you agree with this approach?
