Donaustauf
Donaustauf is a market town in Bavaria, 5 km (3 mi) east of Regensburg at the foothills of the Bavarian Forest.Situated nearby on a hill rising from the Danube is the imposing Teutonic temple of fame, Walhalla, a costly reproduction of the Parthenon in Athens.In 1803 it joined the newly formed Principality of Regensburg, but just 7 years later, at the Treaty of Paris [de] it was returned to Bavaria, which, in turn, endowed it to the princes of Thurn and Taxis.In 1899, the princely house was elevated to a dukedom, receiving the title of Duke of Wörth and Donaustauf.Maximilian Karl, Prince of Thurn and Taxis and his family, who liked the romantic scenery of Donaustauf, moved to the newly constructed Donaustauf palace in 1843, which, however, was completely destroyed during a blaze on 4 March 1880.
