Landshut is the capital and with 63,000 residents the largest city of Lower Bavaria in the German federal state of Bavaria. The city is best known for the Landshut Wedding (Landshuter Hochzeit), a quadrennial re-enactment of the actual medieval wedding, including knights' tournaments. In times the Wedding isn't scheduled, Landshut still is good for a nice day trip from Munich.

Landshut was founded in 1204 by Duke Louis I Wittelsbach. Not even 30 years later it already became residence, and after the division of the duchy of Bavaria in 1255 the capital of Lower Bavaria. In the 15th century the famous Landshut Wedding took place, one of the most splendid festivities of the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the 16th century Lower Bavaria and Upper Bavaria were reunited. Although Landshut at that point lost its status as capital and the 16th century was the city's architectural boom era. After that, Landshut lost most of its significance, besides a short time of importance in the beginning of the 19th century, when the University of Bavaria resided a mere 26 years in Landshut.

For a brief time towards the end of World War II, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp was located near Landshut. During the war Landshut only had to suffer one major Allied bombing, when the area around the train station was heavily hit. However, most parts of the city were virtually unharmed by the war, and much of the medieval downtown is still intact today.

Since the opening of the new Munich International Airport close to Landshut in 1992 and the city has become an attractive business location.

How to get around in Landshut

Landshut is small enough to be explored on foot. Furthermore and the medieval downtown is a pedestrian zone with no motor vehicles allowed. Going by bike is an option, too. However and the extensive use of cobble stone pavement in the city can make for a very unpleasant ride. An alternative for the less sporty type is the city's bus network (StadtLinie). Its 15 lines will take you to every point of interest, within the city and the surrounding countryside.

What to see in Landshut

Trausnitz-LaHo - Trausnitz Castle

  • Church of St. Judoc - Jodokskirche - Jodokskirche is Landshut's second oldest church, after Martinskirche. It was built between 1389 and the end of the 16th century in Gothic style. It features a 77 m (250 ft) high bell tower.
  • Church of St. Martin - Martinskirche - The church's construction began in 1385 and it took over 110 years until it was completed, around 1500. With a interior height of 29 m (95 ft) and a bell tower that measures 130 m (430 ft), Martinkirche is not only the tallest church in Bavaria and the tallest brick building in the world, but also one of the most important examples of Gothic architecture in Germany and Landshut's number one landmark.
  • City Residence Landshut - Stadtresidenz Landshut - Duke Ludwig X commenced the oldest part of the city residence and the "German Building", in 1536. After a visit to Italy he decided to add the "Italian Building", inspired by the Palazzo del Te in Mantua. This addition is considered to be the first Renaissance building north of the Alps. There is a combination ticket available for the Residence and Trausnitz Castle (Adults €8, Concessions €6).
  • Medieval downtown - Landshut's historic downtown is mostly preserved in the state it was 500 years ago, and doesn't have to hide behind other shining examples like Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Today it is a pedestrian zone with a lot of shops, makeshift concerts on the streets during summer and a Christmas fair during Advent. It also serves as one of the stages for the quadrennial Landshut Wedding re-enactment.
  • Museum of Sculptures - Skulpturenmuseum im Hofberg - Opened in 1998 and the museum is located mostly underground within a hill, atop of which Trausnitz Castle is situated. It has on display works of sculptors, who lived or worked in the city. The museum is specialized in the works of Fritz Koenig, who is best known for his sculpture The Sphere, which was on display on World Trade Center Plaza in New York City from 1971 until the 9/11 attacks.
  • Trausnitz Castle - Burg Trausnitz - The medieval castle is situated atop a hill overlooking the city of Landshut and amidst the former castle park. The oldest parts of the structure were built from 1204, and the castle was continuously expanded until the late 19th century, serving as the Wittelsbach ducal residence for Lower Bavaria, 1255-1503. Virtually unharmed by the turmoils of numerous wars, Trausnitz Castle is one of the best preserved and most complete examples of aristocratic medieval architecture. During the Landshut Wedding it serves as one of the venues for the re-enactment.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Landshut

Landshuter_Hochzeit_09 - Landshut Wedding

  • Christmas fair - Christkindlmarkt - The Christmas fair in Landshut in front of St. Judoc's church is the city's main attraction during Advent. The big illuminated Christmas tree in front of the church, a cup of hot spiced in your hands and Christmas music and scents in the air will get you in the Christmas spirit.
  • Landshut Wedding 1475 - Landshuter Hochzeit - Festival held once every 4 years (next: summer 2022). Landshut's biggest attraction undoubtedly is the Landshut Wedding and the re-enactment of the medieval wedding of George the Rich, Duke of Bavaria, and Hedwig Jagiellon and the eldest daughter of the King of Poland, in 1475. Basically the whole city becomes a stage, as the festival takes place all over town, with different venues like Trausnitz Castle and the medieval downtown and the Residence, when over 2,300 actors (mostly Landshut residents) bring the Middle Ages to life. During the three weeks of the festivities, Landshut is flooded with over 700,000 visitors from all over the world and becomes a bustling medieval metropolis, when everyone gets carried away with medieval jousting, pageantry, feasting and knights' tournaments. It even became custom to the citizens of Landshut to wear hair and clothes to the fashion of the Middle Ages, even if they are not part of the acting crew. The downside of the spectacle obviously is, that lodging gets extremely scarce within the city - however and the proximity to Munich provides a feasible lodging alternative.
  • Short Film Festival - Landshuter Kurzfilmfestival - The festival traditionally takes place in March since 2000, at four different movie theaters in the city. The festival focuses on short films from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
