Where to stay in Spickel-Herrenbach
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The zoo sets the tone here. Rooms in Spickel-Herrenbach put the Augsburg Zoo, the Kunstmuseum Walter, and the Augsburg textile and industry museum inside one district, which suits a family day more than a night out. The Don-Bosco-Kirche and St. Wolfgang mark the residential streets.
About Spickel-Herrenbach
What are the main landmarks in Spickel-Herrenbach?
The zoo comes first. The Augsburg Zoo shares the district with the Augsburg textile and industry museum, the Kunstmuseum Walter, and the Kunsthalle Augsburg im Glaspalast, three collections that put art and manufacturing side by side. Two more collections follow, the Skimuseum Augsburg and the Turbinenmuseum Augsburg.
The Färberturm is the district's tower. Churches close the list, in the Don-Bosco-Kirche, St. Wolfgang, and St. Andreas.
What is the history of Spickel-Herrenbach?
Textile work runs through the record. The Augsburg textile and industry museum holds that history, the Färberturm stands on the same register, and the Ehemaliges Obermeisterwohnhaus survives among the protected houses of the district. Turbines have their own museum.
A memorial to Archduke Charles is listed here too, alongside the Glaspalast that houses the Kunsthalle Augsburg.
Where is Spickel-Herrenbach?
