About Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district

Neuburg-Schrobenhausen combines two historic towns with countryside shaped by the Danube, the Donaumoos and asparagus farming. Neuburg an der Donau is known for its Renaissance palace; Schrobenhausen for asparagus and its connection to painter Franz von Lenbach. District tourism (opens in a new tab)

The landscape changes from riverside woodland around Neuburg to the drained peatland and agricultural settlements of the Donaumoos. Cycling, local museums and walks through the Danube floodplain are useful starting points for exploring beyond the towns. District tourism (opens in a new tab)

Neuburg has purpose-built student options alongside private accommodation. The Studierendenwerk residence on the THI campus lists single apartments and rooms in shared flats; Studienseminar Neuburg also prioritises students, trainees and interns. These are useful starting points, but their existence does not establish that rooms are readily available. Studierendenwerk (opens in a new tab) Studienseminar (opens in a new tab)
