Ludwigsplatz and Gäubodenmuseum

Ludwigsplatz features house facades from the late Gothic period to the modern era and high warehouse gables from the early modern period. There is still market activity here with local products. Fraunhoferstrasse, named after Straubing's most important son, Joseph von Fraunhofer, branches off at the fountain for the town's patron saint, James the Elder.
It leads to Gäubodenmuseum. The archaeological collection is of national importance. The world-famous highlight of the Roman section is the "Roman Treasure of Straubing". The most recent section on the early Bavarian period is one of the most important of its kind in Bavaria with its magnificent and highly revealing grave finds.
