The powerful merchants and bankers, the Fugger family and the seafaring Welsers, elevated Augsburg to rank among the world's most powerful cities. Kings and emperors were frequent guests here.

It grew to become a creative centre of famous painters, sculptors, musicians and architects. Here the ancestors of the composer Mozart and the painter Holbein dwelt for centuries.
