The Annahof is today the educational and community center of the Protestant Church in Augsburg. Here, the importance of education to the Reformers becomes evident. The glass inscription "Bibliotheca Publica" in the Annahof commemorates Germany's first public library, opened in 1563. An observatory and Augsburg's first public Latin school were also part of the complex. The current school building was designed by Elias Holl.

The Annahof in Augsburg is a historic area surrounding the former Carmelite monastery of St. Anna, founded in 1321. After the Reformation, it became the city's Latin school in 1531 – the origin of today's Gymnasium bei St. Anna (St. Anna High School). In the 16th century, the first freestanding municipal library building in Germany was also constructed here, followed later by the "Hollbau" designed by Elias Holl. After the school relocated, the grounds were modernized, and an open square was created above an underground parking garage. Today, the Annahof is a central Protestant educational and cultural center in the heart of Augsburg's pedestrian zone, where the Protestant Forum Annahof offers a diverse range of social, cultural, and spiritual events.

Sheridan Park in Augsburg-Pfersee was created on the site of the former Sheridan Barracks after the withdrawal of the US Army. Since the 2000s, it has been developed into a modern residential, commercial, and recreational area. Today, it offers parks, playgrounds and sports areas, schools and childcare facilities, and the Sheridan Center shopping center. The preserved Hall 116 is also significant as a place of remembrance and learning. Sheridan Park is considered a successful example of urban development on former military land.

Hans Jakob Fugger - Monument, Augsburg Hans Jakob Fugger - "Promoter of Science" The Fugger Monument, erected in 1857 on Fuggerplatz, was paid for by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The larger-than-life bronze figure on a high stone pedestal represents Hans Jakob Fugger: This great-grandson of Jakob Fugger the Rich left the Fugger family in 1564, heavily indebted. At the court in Munich, the art-loving bankrupt then became a Privy Councilor and President of the Court Chamber, effectively becoming Finance Minister. Because of his debts, Fugger ceded his valuable collection of ancient manuscripts and books to the Duke of Bavaria. This collection became a foundation of the Bavarian State Library.

Town Hall Square and Fish Market, Augsburg The group of squares near the slope of the Augsburg High Terrace is one of the oldest in Augsburg. It was formed after the construction of the Perlach Tower in the 10th century, which still stands in the line of sight of Augsburg's central north-south street. At this point, the north-south and east-west streets converged. The Free Imperial City, which was politically independent until 1806, was administered from Perlach Square, with its town hall (since 1260), gentlemen's drinking room, and merchants' room. The city council's exercise of power was publicly and spectacularly visible through the pillory at the town hall, where criminals were put on display; the "Schandesel" at the fish market, where soldiers of the city guard were placed for misconduct; and the "Narrenhäusel," a sobering-up cell. The installation of the Neptune Fountain on the Fish Market and the Augustus Fountain on Perlachplatz heralded a prestigious transformation: Elias Holl rebuilt almost all of the surrounding buildings, and between 1615 and 1620, he also built the Town Hall, whose mass seemed to overwhelm its surroundings. It wasn't until the 19th century that major new construction was undertaken again: The Stock Exchange Building, erected in 1828 by Johann Nepomuk Pertsch, replaced the living quarters of the merchants and patricians. At the same time, the new building line somewhat freed up the Town Hall. The Fish Market also received a new look between 1882 and 1890 with the administration building and the Fish Market Staircase by Ludwig Leybold.
