Welcome to Regensburg, a charming city with a rich history and dynamic innovations. As one of the three Bavarian regional centers, Regensburg is not only the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Regensburg, but also home to BMW, a major player in the manufacturing industry.

The city’s roots go far back to Roman times, when the legionary camp of Castra Regina was built on the banks of the Vitusbach. Throughout the centuries, Regensburg developed into a powerful imperial city and was even the seat of the Perpetual Imperial Diet after the Thirty Years’ War.

Today, the manufacturing industry shapes Regensburg’s economy, particularly in automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and microelectronics. The job density is high, and the unemployment rate is below the Bavarian average.

The city is proud of its educational institutions, including the renowned University of Regensburg. Since 1962, the university has offered a wide range of degree programs, and the associated university hospital provides first-class medical care. The dental clinic already started operations in 1984.
