Activities in RegensburgIndividual Sights in RegensburgSight 1: Steinerne Brücke
The Stone Bridge in Regensburg, Germany, is a 12th-century bridge across the Danube linking the Old Town with Stadtamhof. For more than 800 years, until the 1930s, it was the city's only bridge across the river. It is a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city.
Sight 2: St. Oswald
The Church of St. Oswald is an Evangelical Lutheran church in the western old town of Regensburg on the south bank of the Danube, today belonging to the parish of the Trinity Church. The construction of the collegiate church dates back to around 1290, when a Carmelite monastery was built there, but it was abandoned again in 1367 when the Carmelites migrated to Straubing.
Sight 3: Eugenie Kohn
A Stolperstein is a ten-centimetre (3.9 in) concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims of Nazi extermination or persecution. Literally, it means 'stumbling stone' and metaphorically 'stumbling block'.
Sight 4: Velodrom
The Velodrom is a venue of the Theater Regensburg and is located on Simon-Oberndorfer-Platz at the beginning of the Westnerwacht in Regensburg. The word Velodrom comes from Velodrome, the French word for cycle racing track.

The Roman Catholic church of the Dominican convent of the Holy Cross in Regensburg, called Holy Cross Church, is the monastery church of the oldest still existing and never abolished women's monastery of this order in Germany. In its present form, it is characterized by a uniformly designed theological program. Since 1233, the monastery has had its uninterrupted seat at the address Am Judenstein 10 in Regensburg. There are only a few monasteries in Germany dating back to the Middle Ages that have never been destroyed, never abolished or transplanted. With the restorations for the anniversary of its 750th anniversary, the monastery can be described as a "jewel of Bavarian Rococo".
