WORLD HERITAGE IN THE TEXTILE DISTRICT

Guidance

The “Augsburg Water Management System” has been a World Heritage Site since 2019. With this award, UNESCO recognizes Augsburg’s unique handling of water for more than 800 years. Many events are also held at World Heritage sites for this reason. As part of Water & Sound, the World Heritage Office is offering three guided tours in the run-up to festival events.

Augsburg is a stronghold of industrial culture, which is closely linked to water and is also an important part of the World Heritage Site. Before the festival opens in Hall 1 – Raum für Kunst im Glaspalast, the World Heritage Office offers a guided tour of the industrial monuments in the textile district – from the Augsburg worsted spinning mill (now TIM) to Martini Park and the Proviantbachquartier to the Augsburg mechanical cotton spinning and weaving mill.

Pre-registration for the guided tours is requested at welterbe.veranstaltungen@augsburg.de
