[0] World Heritage Info Centre

Description

The World Heritage Info Centre covers about 100 square metres and is located on the ground floor of the Municipal Administration Building I. It is accessible barrier-free from Rathausplatz (Town Hall Square). The centre illustrates the complex water system in pictures and texts. It serves as the first point of contact for interested visitors to Augsburg's World Heritage Site, which, with its 22 elements, is spread far and wide across the city, and beyond to the Lech River Museum in the Langweid hydroelectric power station. The themed routes include, for example, the Maximilian Museum with the original bronzes of the three fountains and the Model Chamber as well as the Historic Waterworks at the Hochablass (Lech weir). The approach of presenting the complex theme not exclusively at one central location is also in line with the recommendations of the German Commission for UNESCO and is intended to encourage visitors to experience the individual themed routes along the various elements of the site.
