Augsburg entdecken

The Schaezlerpalais is a Rococo palace in Augsburg, built between 1765 and 1770 by the architect Carl Albert von Lespilliez. Its gilded mirrored ballroom survives intact. The palace houses the Deutsche Barockgalerie's 17th- and 18th-century German paintings, with a Baroque garden open to the public.

The Augsburger Puppenkiste is a marionette theatre founded in 1948 in the former Heilig-Geist-Spital in Augsburg's old town. Its productions were broadcast nationwide as television series from 1953, including Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer and Urmel aus dem Eis; the adjoining puppet museum, 'Die Kiste', has displayed its marionettes and sets since 2001.
