    The district Altstadt Ortsmitte, i. H. the old town in the colloquial sense, extends from the promontory in the east to the cathedral square in the west, up to the old city wall. Here is also the town hall square with the town hall and the seat of the city administration.

      The old town really has many beautiful streets of different widths. Some are so narrow that you can hardly enter them next to each other. Cars are allowed to use the larger streets. Some of these don't drive very slowly through the old town. Therefore, be careful.

        Passau, the city of three rivers, is well worth seeing and is located on a headland with a great old town.

            There are some very beautiful, really narrow streets in the old town. It is often very easy to miss them because they are separated from the larger streets and are hardly noticeable.

              There are many historical buildings in the old town, almost all of which tell their own story. It is therefore worth strolling through the city more often, as you will always discover something new.

                  If you stroll through the old town streets of Passau, you will understand why the city is called "the Bavarian Venice".

                        A walk through Passau's old town is not only varied and interesting, but also a bit of a journey into the past.

                            The history goes back to about 15 BC. There was the Celtic oppidum Boiodurum here. The Roman fort Batavis was built here in 150 AD. In the post-Roman period, the fort first became a Bavarian and later a Carolingian duke's seat and in 739 a bishop's seat with the cathedral in the center. To the east, the bourgeois town with a market place developed.

                                The old town is the historic center of Passau. The district stretches from the town tip in the east to the Schanzlbrücke in the west. It also includes a part to the left of the Danube around Veste Oberhaus

                                    Well, you should forget your car in the city center. The residents are enough, some of whom race through the streets at adventurous speeds. But even worse are the cyclists who don't know any rules and therefore don't have to follow anything.

                                        In 739 Passau became a bishop's seat. Since then, the cathedral has been the center. To the east of it, the middle-class town with a market square developed. The geographical and political conditions forced particularly dense construction in the old town, which can be seen particularly here in the narrow, narrow streets.

                                          To paraphrase Gabriele von Arnim: In contrast to most 'exhibits' of contemporary architecture, this old town offers the 'consolation of beauty'.
