Welcome to Kempten in the Allgäu, a charming town in south Germany that combines history, culture and breathtaking natural beauty.

Kempten is the town where I have lived for more than 25 years, one of the oldest towns in Germany, and a true paradise for nature lovers.

Kempten is located in the Allgäu, directly on the A7 motorway. Memmingen (40 km) is the nearest airport, and Munich Airport is 155 km away.

Kempten’s history dates back to the Romans and, thus, over 2,000 years. For a long time, two rival settlements named Kempten were next to each other. It was not until 1818 that the two towns were united.

Visit the Kempten Residenz, a magnificent Baroque palace once the seat of the prince abbots of Kempten. Admire the impressive façade and opulent interiors, which provide an insight into the former residential culture.

Just a short walk from the Residenz is the Basilica of St. Lorenz, an impressive sacred building with a history of over 1,600 years. Its magnificent interior, ceiling paintings, and stucco work are worth admiring. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
