THE CITY
Regensburg is a south-eastern city in Bavaria (Germany). It is characterized by its medieval town centre and its location along the Danube River. The city has around 179.000 inhabitants. Being a University town, many young people live in Regensburg, which makes it both modern and traditional at the same time. Well-known landmarks include the Stone Bridge from the 12th century and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers. The winding city centre, the many charming cafés and the colourful houses exude an Italian flair in the heart of Bavaria, which is why Regensburg is also known as the ‘northernmost city in Italy’.
ACCOMMODATION
In October 2025, the City of Regensburg's Cultural Office launched a new program: RAiR - Regensburg Arts in Residence.
As part of the new program, the city of Regensburg is offering one of the two new charming studio apartments in a historic house in the heart of Regensburg's old town. Located directly on the Stone Bridge and thus along the Danube River, the studio apartments offer plenty of space for art and creativity in unique surroundings. Numerous galleries and studios are located in the immediate vicinity.
The studio apartments are newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom as well as a living and working studio area. During the period, another artist from another partner city will live and work in the other studio appartment.
