German States 1531 Ausburg Batzen VF-EF (VF30)
The city of Augsburg, located in Bavaria, Germany, is one of the country’s oldest cities, founded by the Romans in 15 BC as a military settlement called Augusta Vindelicorum. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Augsburg grew into a wealthy and influential center of trade and finance, home to powerful banking families like the Fuggers and Welsers who shaped European economics. The city also played a key role in religious history, most notably as the site of the Augsburg Confession in 1530, a foundational document of Lutheranism. Today, Augsburg is celebrated for its rich architectural heritage, including Renaissance buildings and the Fuggerei, the world’s oldest social housing complex still in use.
