The influence and importance of the Fuggers can still be seen in Augsburg and the surrounding area today:
- endless houses and castles [0]
- the Fugger foundations [1]: existing continuously since the 16th century
- the Fuggerei, the oldest social housing complex of the world [2], financed by the Fugger foundations: qualifying (catholic) people in need live there for less than a euro a year
