City of the Fugger, Welser and Peace of Augsburg

In the late Middle Ages Augsburg was a centre of trade and finance. Two Augsburg families stand for this era: the Fugger and the Welser. Their companies, which financed emperors and kings, were among the first global players in history and directed their business from the city. The Fuggers are still present in the cityscape today and are connected with the city. For a long time Augsburg was also the seat of the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire. Another event is still closely linked with the name of Augsburg today: the Augsburg Religious Peace of 1555, which marks the first attempt to balance Catholicism and Protestantism in Germany and is celebrated in the city with a special holiday. Unfortunately the peace did not last long. The Thirty Years War followed. So when you are in Augsburg, you are truly on historical ground. We have more apartments and private holiday flats in Augsburg on offer, for example an apartment in Augsburg-Lechhausen.
