Heritage to Touch in Swabia
Augsburg, a district-free city and the center of the Swabia administrative region, has been home to an extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage site since 2019: the historic Augsburg Water Management System with its canals, water towers, fountains, and hydropower plants, which has grown over centuries. On the nationwide UNESCO World Heritage Day, the city focuses on this heritage.
A Day for Everyone
The World Heritage Office of the City of Augsburg invites you to numerous hands-on activities and guided walks for all ages. The diversity of tour formats is particularly noteworthy: there are family tours, offerings exclusively for children, and tours in Easy Language, Sign Language, English, Chinese, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Russian. This ensures that the heritage is communicated in an intentionally inclusive and international manner.
Program and Partners
- Guided walks along the water management system
- Family tours and children's program
- Tours in Easy Language, Sign Language, and seven languages
- Hands-on activities centered around water and heritage
- Participation of numerous partners (including Stadtwerke Augsburg, museums, Zoo Augsburg, tourism)
Peace and Understanding
The UNESCO World Heritage Day in Augsburg is held under a unifying motto of peace and understanding. The city, also known for the Augsburger Hohes Friedensfest (Augsburg High Peace Festival), connects its water heritage with open, multilingual communication. The World Heritage Day is thus a significant contribution to cultural education in Bavarian Swabia and provides low-threshold access to a globally unique technical cultural heritage.
