Stadtamhof

Stadtamhof is a district of Regensburg, located in the Free State of Bavaria, Germany. It sits on the southern bank of the Danube opposite Regensburg’s historic old town, making it a key part of the city’s riverine landscape. The area is characterized by a mix of historic streets, traditional buildings and a close connection to the Danube, with the riverfront providing views across to Regensburg.

Historically, Stadtamhof developed as a separate settlement in the Middle Ages and played a role in the region’s trade and urban life along the Danube. Over time it became integrated with Regensburg, and today it forms a borough within the city. The neighborhood’s proximity to the river and the old townEstablished its identity as a bridgehead and access point between the two riverbanks.

A landmark feature associated with Stadtamhof is the Steinerne Brücke (Stone Bridge), which connects the old town side of Regensburg with Stadtamhof. This historic bridge is a prominent symbol of the area and a common starting point for visitors exploring Regensburg’s riverfront. Along the Danube promenade and nearby streets, visitors can find preserved historic architecture, local shops and eateries that reflect the district’s residential character.

Today, Stadtamhof functions mainly as a residential and mixed-use district within Regensburg, retaining elements of its historic street pattern while being integrated into the city’s modern infrastructure and services. Access is by road and public transport, with the Danube and the bridge continuing to define the district’s landscape and orientation within Regensburg.
