Life and Leisure

Experience culture and customs

The districts are also culturally diverse thanks to their exciting history. The Wittelsbacher Land, as the district of Aichach-Friedberg is also known, is the ‘cradle of Old Bavaria’. This is because the 800-year history of the Wittelsbach dynasty began right here. To this day, magnificent churches and imposing palaces, such as the Wittelsbach Palace in Friedberg or the Sisi Palace, bear witness to their reign. Throughout the district, there are an impressive number of historical sites with a connection to the Wittelsbach dynasty. In addition, in the old Bavarian ducal towns of Aichach and Friedberg and the surrounding communities, splendid festivals are a reminder of the region's cultural roots. Highlights include the medieval market days in Aichach, the historic old town festival ‘Friedberger Zeit’ or the annual Inchenhofen Leonhardiritt, which has been held since the 15th century. These cultural events bring people together. In general, togetherness plays a key role in the countryside of A³. The districts live from the community and the commitment of their citizens. No one symbolises this more than the many volunteers who are involved in numerous associations
