Experience the Renaissance, where Augsburg breathes history
On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the Fugger and Welser Experience Museum in Augsburg will host a special Day of Open Monuments. The themed tour A New Era – the Renaissance opens the view to an epoch in which trade, architecture, and new ideas have sustainably shaped the cityscape.
A House Full of History and Atmosphere
In the original Renaissance house from 1530, an event experience unfolds that connects historical substance with lively communication. The Wiesel house itself becomes the stage for an intense audience atmosphere: listed architecture, arcades, and an ambiance that not only shows history but makes it tangible.
Tour with a Focus on Trade, Power, and Change
The themed tour at 11 AM is aimed at visitors who want to understand Augsburg's role in the Renaissance more closely. The museum focuses on illustrative communication, expert classification, and a clear target audience appeal for all who think about culture, city history, and European trade history together.
Architecture Tour with Exclusive Insights
At 2 PM, architect Dr. Stefan Schrammel will guide through the history of the house and provide insights into the building and usage history of the Wiesel house. This creates a second, deepening experience: not only is the Renaissance period in focus, but also the question of how historical spaces have an impact to this day.
Renaissance Café under the Arcades
Starting at 12 PM, the Renaissance Café under the arcades invites you to a relaxed break. This fits perfectly with a day where cultural enjoyment, atmosphere, and gentle discovery come together. Those who spend the day in the museum will experience Augsburg at its most stylish.
Well Prepared for the Museum Visit
Admission and tours are free on the Day of Open Monuments. Since the places are limited, timely registration for the individual tours is recommended. The museum is considered barrier-free and inclusive, with the nearest stop being Mozarthaus / Kolping. There are no parking options in the immediate vicinity; the nearby Kolping parking garage is recommended.
Conclusion: This event connects the Renaissance, monument preservation, and vibrant city history into a special cultural moment in Augsburg. Those who want to experience historical spaces not just visually but atmospherically should mark this date and attend the tour live.
