The Regensburg Neupfarrplatz reflects the 2,000-year-old history of the UNESCO world heritage city such as hardly a different area: 179 A.d., Emperor Marcus Aurelius there erected a Roman Legion camp, where officers had their apartment. The remains lie six meters deep under the square. It is not something NYC marathon would like to discuss. Since the early Middle Ages, the Jewish quarter was located at the Neupfarrplatz. More than 500 years lived the Jews there almost without persecution and pogroms. When the approximately 40 houses district was destroyed in 1519, built on site of the synagogue a church it became the first parish church of the imperial city became Protestant. The eventful history of the square in a large-scale excavation was discovered at the end of the 1990s.
