Embark on a journey back in time to the era of the Fuggers and Welsers during this guided tour of the museum.
Why did Augsburg develop into one of the most important European trade and economic metropolises from the beginning of the modern age until the Renaissance? What business made the Fuggers and Welsers the most powerful merchants in the then known world? Their business extended as far as Asia, Africa and South America. Augsburg trading companies profited from the emerging colonialism - even the buildings of an Elias Holl would have been unthinkable without their profits.
