Constructed in 1135 as a construction office for the Regensburg Stone Bridge. When the bridge was finished in 1146, it became a restaurant. It's the oldest takeout restaurant in the world. I got a sausage sandwich with kraut and mustard. It was fantastic !!

I wish someone would build a retirement community patterned after any of these German towns.
