List of architectural monuments in Augsburg
The monuments of the Bavarian district capital Augsburg are compiled on this page . This table is a partial list of the list of architectural monuments in Bavaria . The basis is the Bavarian Monument List , which was first drawn up on the basis of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act of October 1, 1973 and has since been managed by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . The following information does not replace the legally binding information from the monument protection authority.
List of architectural monuments by city district
There are around 1250 architectural monuments and 20 ensembles in Augsburg. For a better overview, the monuments and ensembles are divided into partial lists for the individual districts of Augsburg , which are listed in the following sorted according to planning areas. You can switch between the lists of monuments of the city districts using a navigation bar sorted by the city district numbers. The city fortifications are cross-city districts and are shown on this page.
City fortifications Augsburg
A distinction must be made between the fortifications of the Roman settlement Augusta Vindelicorum , the cathedral city of the early Middle Ages, and the imperial city. The walls of the Roman complex are no longer upright.
The walling of the cathedral city from the 10th century was renewed in brick in the 14th century. Remaining wall sections on the north side of the cathedral city have been preserved at Anoßgäßchen 3, Frauentorstraße 8 and south of the Äußere Pfaffengäßchen.
The imperial city fortifications, which bordered the urban space between the cathedral city and Ortisei and Afra by 1272 at the latest and also the Frauen- und Jakobervorstadt up to the middle of the 14th century, were largely abandoned after the city was devastated in 1860. On the long west flank of the old town you can still see the former guided tour on the Konrad-Adenauer-Allee, Schießgrabenstraße, Fuggerstraße, Volkhartstraße (see Ensemble Altstadt Augsburg and Ensemble Fuggerstraße / Volkartstraße / Schaezlerstraße); The rest of the ramparts exist on Schießgrabenstrasse (see Ensemble Schießgrabenstrasse).
On the north side are preserved:

Publications
The list of architectural monuments in Augsburg is part of the Bavarian Monument List , which is maintained by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . Based on this list, Augsburg's architectural monuments have also been published in book form in the Monuments in Bavaria series .
In the first part of this series, which shows the monuments sorted by government district, the Augsburg monuments are part of Volume VII on Swabia. Volume VII.83 is dedicated to Augsburg in the third part, which provides a separate volume for the monuments of each district and each district-free city , which in turn is divided into sub-volumes. In this part there is a short description and at least one illustration for each monument.

Remarks
- ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
