a town of Bavaria, on the right bank of the Danube, 25 miles S.E. of Regensburg. It is walled, and has a castle, a number of churches and convents, a gymnasium, Latin school, and normal seminary, an orphan and other hospitals. Brewing and weaving are extensively carried on; there are large powder and corn magazines, and an important trade in corn and horses. The castle was the residence in the fifteenth century of Albert III. of Bavaria, with his wife, Agnes Bernauer, the beautiful daughter of a citizen of Augsburg. Albert's father, the reigning duke, being displeased with his son's marriage, ordered the lady during his absence to be drowned in the river. She is now buried in the church of St Peter, where a marble tablet records her tragic fate. Pop. 9300.
