In 1521 Jakob Fugger laid the foundation-stone for the existence of the Fuggerei in eternity, with a deed of foundation. Today, the Fuggerei still offers Augsburg citizens in need a safe home; descendants of Jakob Fugger still give their time to the management of the Foundation. To this day, the Foundation assets that Fugger contributed form the basis for funding the settlement.
Taking a tour through the settlement, the guide explains how the Fuggerei has been able to fulfil its mission as a foundation for 500 years. The diverse contents of the houses are presented clearly and vividly – from architecture, to historical and contemporary life in the Fuggerei to the future of their foundation idea.
Additionally, guest authors comment on interesting social and cultural-historical topics of the Fuggerei, discussing what the concept of the Fuggerei can mean for today’s society.
An information section, a folding map and graphics provide quick orientation. The volume is generously illustrated in colour throughout.
