Overall safe but we have one dangerous park next to the trainstation where you should not go and also some cases of sexual assault and rape but also not that often and mostly at night that park or certain parts bit more outside the city

Overall it is pretty safe, robberies are very uncommon. I would not recommend walking alone after dark though, but I never would no matter where. It hast gotten worse the past few years but it is still pretty safe.

Regensburg is safe to walk around alone. It is a very beautiful city and the people don't really care what you are doing. Everyone is doing their own thing. Just the Train Station is a little not so safe.

In my opinion you are pretty safe concerning hotels etc and in cafes/restaurants/swimming/… and pretty much everything throughout the day. In some of the parks you should be careful, especially in the dark, because of drunk people/ people on drugs. There have been quite some rape cases in Regensburg in the parks! Most of the people that are on the street and asking for money are nice (but still: beware of drunk people, especially men) I would always rather go home in a group than alone in the night or have someone on the phone! But I guess - sadly - that’s normal as a woman… In comparison to some other countries I would say Germany is ok-safe.

I wouldn't walk alone at night around the park and main train station but aside from that, it's pretty safe. The public transport in Regensburg is also safe, I've never really made negative experiences there.
