Independent tourism and recreation in the city of Fussen Historical information about the city of Fussen Füsse...
Füssen is one of the most ancient cities of Bavaria, located at the foot of the Alps on the banks of the Lech River, just a few kilometers from the Austrian border. Despite its relatively small size, the city played an important role in the history of southern Germany, controlling important trade routes between German lands and northern Italy. Due to its strategic position, Füssen remained an important military, religious and commercial center for almost two thousand years.
Roman Period: The Beginning of History
The history of Fussen begins in ancient Rome. In the I-III centuries AD, on the site of the modern city, there was a Roman military outpost that controlled the famous Via Claudia Augusta road. This road connected northern Italy with the provinces of the Roman Empire north of the Alps. The Romans built a fortified camp here and a guard post to control the trade caravans and the movement of troops.
The name of the city, according to one version, comes from the Latin word fauces - "gorge" or "mountain passage", which reflects its location at the alpine passes.
The Age of St. Magnus
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the territory was settled by Germanic tribes. In the VIII century, the missionary St. Magnus appeared here, who became one of the most important figures in the history of the region.
His name is associated with the foundation of the monastery of St. Manga, around which the medieval city gradually grew. The monastery became the center of Christianization of the Algoy region and had a huge influence on the development of local culture and education.
St. Magnus is still considered the patron saint of Füssen, and the former monastery remains one of the main attractions of the city.
Medieval heyday
In the Middle Ages, Füssen gained special importance through trade. Through the city passed the paths connecting:
Venice;
Milan;
Innsbruck;
Augsburg;
Nuremberg.
Merchants transported:
salt
tissues;
wine;
metals;
spices.
In the XIV century, Füssen became one of the residences of the Augsburg bishops. To protect the city, a powerful castle was built, which today is known as the High Castle of Füssen. It is considered one of the best preserved medieval castles of Bavaria.
At the same time, city walls, towers and fortifications were erected, many of which have partially survived to this day.
Capital of European Lute Masters
In the XV-XVII centuries, Fussen gained fame throughout Europe as a center for the manufacture of musical instruments.
Local craftsmen became famous for production:
luten;
violin
string instruments.
It is believed that it was the masters of Fussen who spread the art of lute making throughout Europe. Many artisans moved to:
Venice;
Rome;
Paris;
Vienna.
By the seventeenth century, almost half of the famous European lute masters came from Fussen or its environs.
Renaissance and Baroque
At the end of the XV century the castle of bishops was rebuilt in the style of late Gothic and Renaissance. The city became a rich religious center and an important point on the road through the Alps.
During this period, construction was carried out:
monasteries;
chapels;
palaces of the clergy;
New city blocks.
Fussen gradually acquired the architectural appearance that tourists can see today.
Napoleonic Wars
At the beginning of the XIX century, Bavaria experienced serious political changes. During the Napoleonic Wars, the region was influenced by France, but Füssen himself avoided major destruction and preserved most of the historic buildings. After the war, the city became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Ludwig II and the birth of fairy-tale castles
A new stage in the history of the city began in the XIX century thanks to the Bavarian royal family.
Not far from Füssen is Hohenschwangau Castle, where the future King Ludwig II spent his childhood.
Later, by his order, the famous Neuschwanstein Castle was built nearby, which today is considered one of the most famous castles in the world and the main tourist symbol of Bavaria.
