Marlis took me to a small city called Augsburg. It is about 60 km north west of Muenchen.

The Street of Augsburg

Fuggerei is a city within Augsburg. It was built by a rich guy who was called Fugger. He built these houses and rented them to those who were less fortunate at a very low price. When I was there, I heard the price had just gone up. It has been raised from 1.7 DM per year to 2.6. Fuggerei has its own gate. It is self surfficient. Four fifths of it was flatterned during the WWII. Residents of Fuggerei re-built the whole place without getting outside help.

Marlis (Sabina's Mom) and I

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's great great grand father stayed there for a while.

That unit has been converted into a museum.
