The banker Jakob Fugger was the richest man in the world at the time. He had a monopoly on copper and many silver mines. He influenced emperor and pope elections. He built the Fuggerei, the first social housing estate in the world. It still exists today. Rent €1 per year.

I recommand to add/ skip the Dom (church) and have frist a walk to the tiny bridges around Mittlerer Lech and stroll the old alleys.

@@raakaa1829 Why would you skip the cathedral? It is over 1,000 years old and one of the oldest cathedrals in Germany. It has the oldest stain glass windows in the world, a 1,000 years old bronze portal, two 1,000 years old bells and four over 500 years old paintings by Hans Holbein the older.

Gersthofen (where the Video started) is a separate small town. The Yoghurt drink isn‘t typical german, well it is but it‘s brought by immigants from turkish culture (they also invented the Döner in Berlin). Nice to see a tourists view about my hometown, thx for that ✌️
