About Gunzburg - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
Günzburg was founded in about 70 BC. by the Romans to defend the borders of their country along the Danube; it was known as Castellum Guntia, Gontia or Contia. The name comes from the Celtic goddess Gontia. [2] It consisted of a fort, later replaced by at least one on the same site, a rather large civil settlement and most likely an important bridge over the Danube.
After the Romans left in the 5th century, the tribe of the Alamans settled there. In about 700, the castle near Ricinis was mentioned by the cartographer from Ravenna as one of the five most important castles of Germany. In 1065 the first documentary evidence of the city itself under the name of Gunceburch appears.
Attractions in Günzburg include the Church of the Virgin Mary (Frauenkirche) built by Dominikus Zimmermann, the margrave castle (the only Habsburg castle built in Germany), the fort Reisensburg, today the congress center of the University of Ulm and almost intact. downtown
In 2002, Legoland built a theme park near the city.
