History of Augsburg
Augsburg is more than 2.000 years old, making it the oldest city in Bavaria and the second oldest in Germany. By order of the Emperor Augustus, its Celtic inhabitants, the Vindelici, were overthrown in 15 BC and the Roman city Augusta Vindelicum was founded. This is where Augsburg got its name.
