Landshut: Trausnitz Castle, Landshuter Hochzeit, and Lower Bavaria's Medieval Capital
Landshut has a population around 60,000 and sits on the Isar river in Lower Bavaria, about 70 kilometres northeast of Munich. The Burg Trausnitz, perched on the hill above the old town, served as the residence of the Dukes of Bavaria-Landshut and offers sweeping views across the Isar valley. The Landshuter Hochzeit (Landshut Wedding), a historical re-enactment held every four years, recreates the lavish 1475 marriage of Duke Georg to the Polish princess Jadwiga, drawing half a million spectators.
The Martinskirche has the tallest brick church tower in the world at 130.6 metres. The Altstadt's colourful Gothic and Renaissance facades along the broad main street create one of southern Germany's most attractive town centres. The Dreihelm-Eck, where the three city gates once stood, marks the medieval boundaries. BMW has a factory in Landshut producing components. The Hochschule Landshut has around 5,000 students. Munich is reachable in about 45 minutes by train. Adult companionship follows Bavaria's regulatory approach.
