Straubing: Gaeubodenvolksfest, Agnes Bernauer, and Lower Bavaria's Independent City on the Danube
Straubing has a population around 44,500 and sits in the Danube plain of Lower Bavaria, roughly 40 kilometres southeast of Regensburg. The Gaeubodenvolksfest, held every August, is Bavaria's second-largest folk festival after Munich's Oktoberfest and draws over a million visitors. The city's central Stadtplatz, one of the longest market squares in Germany, is lined with colourful baroque facades and the Stadtturm watchtower.
Agnes Bernauer, a commoner secretly married to Duke Albrecht III, was drowned in the Danube at Straubing in 1435 on orders from his father. The Agnes-Bernauer-Festspiele re-enact her story every four years. The Gaeubodenmuseum holds the Straubinger Roemerschatz, a remarkable collection of Roman armour discovered locally. St. Peter's Church contains late Gothic frescoes. The Tiergarten Straubing is one of Bavaria's most visited smaller zoos. Regensburg is reachable by train in about 30 minutes. Adult companionship follows Bavarian regulatory standards.
