Regensburg’s old town is characterised by many narrow and often winding alleys. We strolled through the streets and discovered some interesting things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I find the names of some of the streets in the old town particularly interesting. For example, there is a “Happy Turks Street”, the “Red Cocks Lane” or the “Blue Lilies Lane” (\u201eFr\u00f6hliche T\u00fcrken Strasse\u201c, die \u201eRoten-Hahnen-Gasse\u201c oder die \u201eBlaue Lilien Gasse\u201c). Many of the streets were named after inns that used to stand there. Or they were given the name, such as Bachgasse, because there really used to be a stream flowing there, which today only exists underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you not only look into the shops, some of which are really beautiful, you will discover one or two pictures on the walls. Whether it’s something historical, like on the Goliath House. Here, the north side of the fa\u00e7ade shows a painting from 1573. The picture, in the last revised version from 1900, by Franz Rinner shows the battle of David against Goliath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
