Unfortunately all this has been destroyed during WW II by bomb rides.
You may think such statements are false when you still see many old buildings. I almost got in an argument with my father in law during a visit of Nuremberg. The complete medieval downtown was just rubble. Woman did a great job after the war by helping to restore everything.
Another very famous family were the Welser's.
However, Augsburg was founded much earlier. Original it was a Roman fortress.
Many other well known people have been born in Augsburg. Just to name a few: the painter Hans Burgkmair, the engineers Rudolf Diesel and Willy Messerschmitt and the writer Bertolt Brecht.
We recommend that you take a guided tour through the city. Ask your tour guide for the numerous museums.
The city of Augsburg has created an excellent English web site. We do not want to re-invent the wheel. Please search for this site. We do not priovide any longer links because of some silly reasons the addresses change very often and we do not want to have dead links in our site.
After our next visit, we will add some personal impressions to this site.
