Old Town of Landsberg am Lech
Highlight • Settlement
Whether it's the historic town hall, the magnificent Bayertor or the famous Lechwehr: there are numerous impressive Landsberg am Lech sights to admire. We were taken with the small town during our bike tour on the Romantic Road. I'll show you the most beautiful highlights that await you in the picturesque old town. I'll also tell you how robbers were misled back then, where left-hand traffic prevailed and why women used to jump from towers: netreisetagebuch.de/landsberg-am-lech-sehenswuerdigkeiten

Lady-Herkomer Footbridge (Landsberg am Lech)
Highlight • Bridge
The Lady-Herkomer-Steg not only connects two sides of the river, but also marks a decisive step towards the turnaround in mobility and the city vision of Landsberg 2035. The building, which was subsidized by ehret+klein with €1.3 million, will in future not only serve to provide fast and car-free crossing of the Lech, but also creates a direct connection between the old town of Landsberg and urban life on the Papierbach. A win for both sides!

Mutterturm and the Herkomer Museum
Highlight • Monument
With its golden roof, the Mother Tower rises from the parkland as seen downstream from the Lech River. This historicist building, constructed in the style of a Norman keep from large tuff blocks, was built in 1884 by Hubert von Herkomer in honor and memory of his mother.
Born in Waal in 1849, he moved to England with his parents. He received comprehensive training as a painter and was at the height of his fame at the time of the Mother Tower's construction. The tower was built according to his own plans, likely influenced by the American Henry Hobson Richardson, as an eccentric artist's studio and furnished to a high standard. Today, it is also used for weddings.
His strong ties to his old homeland ensured the city of Landsberg received the artist's estate. The small house next to the tower is the Herkomer Museum and houses a significant collection of paintings and prints by the highly successful painter and graphic artist from England. At the initiative of the visionary motorist, the world's first touring car rally, the Herkomer Competition, took place in 1905.

View of the Karolinenwehr and the Old Town of Landsberg am Lech
Highlight • Monument
The Lechner is called the Karolinenwehr.
The Karolinenwehr is a four-stage weir of the Lech near the old town of Landsberg am Lech.
To the right of the weir system, which was probably built in 1364, is the Mühlbach, which used to drive mills and is now used to generate electricity. The originally single-stage weir was severely damaged several times by floods and was expanded in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries by installing additional stages. The weir has been rebuilt several times over the past decades, most recently between 1993 and 1996.
A bypass existed for rafting, on which rafts were led around the weir over the wooden plank route of the "long journey" for a fee. After rafting declined in the 20th century, the "long journey" was canceled in the 1970s.

“… Karolinenbrücke – named after Max I Joseph’s wife. The bridge is of course much older, as it formed the basis for Landsberg's wealth from the salt trade. Thankfully, Henry the Lion also localized its route in Landsberg. And for which the city collected customs. When Max I Joseph inaugurated the bridge on January 1, 1806, it was far more representative than before. After Max's merger with Napoleon, it led to Swabia, which had finally become Bavarian. Architect Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking created a bridge with gallant central arches - which was dilapidated after just seven years. In 1910 it was destroyed by the flood, in 1930 it was widened and in 1952 the present bridge was built. ...”
