Germany - Landsberg
Landsberg is a district in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Aichach-Friedberg, Fürstenfeldbruck, Starnberg, Weilheim-Schongau, Ostallgäu and Augsburg.
In 1180 the lands east of the Lech river fell to the Wittelsbach dynasty of Bavaria; the lands on the western bank were acquired about 1315.
The district of Landsberg was established in 1938 as the successor of another entity (Bezirksamt) of the same name. In the administrative reform of 1972 the district received its present shape.

Landsberg is one of the most beautiful, original cities in Bavaria. Beautiful marketplace and outlying areas. The city however needs to find a way to route all the north/south traffic away from the marktplatz and make it quieter. There is a very nice fussganger zone, but it needs to be larger. I was married there in 1958 in the beautiful rathaus.
