The Bavarian university city of Passau, located at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz, has a history of more than two thousand years. After the Celts, the Romans erected a fort on the Domberg and gave it the name »Batavis«, from which the present city name Passau was created over several intermediate stages. Elevated to the episcopal see by St. Boniface in 739, the city was for nearly a thousand years the center of the largest diocese in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Out of the multitude of architectural monuments stands the baroque St. Stephen's Cathedral with the largest church organ of the earth. Worldwide fame reached the episcopal city in 1954 at the flood of the century.
