A Danube river-crossing that spent centuries hosting the Holy Roman Diet and then, when the Diet moved on, became the private seat of the Thurn und Taxis — which is why the Prince bench runs at better than twenty times the global rate despite a town population nowhere near imperial scale. The thick Academic and Composer presences behind it still carry a court-patronage flavor that more industrial German cities shed a century ago, and the Sculptor and Author benches trace the same ecclesiastical-to-scholarly arc down through the Regensburg academy.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Regensburg during each.
