The enclave also welcomes visitors to learn more about Augsburg's history of community living at an on-site museum.

Augsburg hosts various festivals throughout the year, so there is always something happening in this small city. From the Mozart Festival to the Folk Festival to the celebration of youth culture, you can always rely on the celebration, great food, and parades in and around Augsburg.
