Our town

Landshut – a city full of hospitality and charms is Lower Bavaria`s seat of government. It looks back on a 800 years lasting history and is famous for its monuments and art treasures.
You`ll find an abundance of sights here, which form the unique city profile, for example the church St. Martin with its highest steeple in the world made of bricks, the castle Burg Trausnitz, town hall and many more..
But Landshut`s architecture is not the only thing which fascinates, but gives also an interesting offer related to art and culture. There`s a highlight in almost every month of the year. Short movie festival in March, summer festival in July, Buskers festival in September, pottery markets in springtime, autumn and winter. There are also numerous festivities and concerts in the romantic ambiance of the courtyard of the residence and at the castle Trausnitz. It doesn`t matter at what time you`ll visit Landshut – it will always inspire you!
A good traffic connection, high spending capacity and well balanced industries mark out Landshut as a brilliant business location, as there are E.ON hydro power, Brandt chocolates and BMW factories, which produce light metal casting motors and thereby make Landshut to a F1-motor-town.
