Regensburg up close: Local council explores history with Roberto Mazzotta

On Sunday, October 12, 2025, a special event took place in Regensburg. Members of the local council, accompanied by their partners, took part in an organized tour of the city. The event was initiated by the administration at the request of the local council and offered participants the opportunity to get to know the impressive history and special features of Regensburg. The experienced tour guide Roberto Mazzotta, who has a training certificate and also offers Italian-language tours, led the tour.

Roberto Mazzotta is known for his deep knowledge of the city. Its top sights include St. Peter's Cathedral and Walhalla, an impressive monument that commemorates the great personalities of German history. After the tour, the participants met in the “Servus” restaurant for a cozy get-together with coffee and cake, where they were able to reflect on their experiences. Max Kollmannsberger expressed his thanks to both Mazzotta and the participants.

Special features of the city tour

The city tour in Regensburg stands out due to its thematic diversity. It not only includes a general overview of the historic city, but also highlights the different eras that shaped Regensburg. Mazzotta takes guests to important sights and explains their historical background. His tours aim to give participants a deep understanding of the city's cultural significance.

In addition to the guided tours, Regensburg offers a variety of activities that enrich the experience of the city. The Regensburg passenger shipping Klinger for example, has been an integral part of the cityscape for over 50 years and hosts various boat trips. The original whirlpool tour, which leads through the Stone Bridge when the water level is right, is particularly popular.

The Klinger shipping company also offers themed day trips, including the Walhalla boat trip, which involves a whirlpool ride in about three hours. Other possible trips lead to Weltenburg and Kelheim. Tickets and the current timetable are available online and the sales stand is located at the blue sales pavilion at Thundorferstraße 6, 93047 Regensburg.

The city of Regensburg shows once again that it is not only a place with a rich history, but also has a lively cultural landscape to offer. The successful event by the local council, led by Roberto Mazzotta, helps to raise awareness of the importance of the city and further increase its attractiveness as a destination for tourists and residents.
