Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Cathedral of St Peter's
The Regensburg Cathedral (German: Dom St. Peter or Regensburger Dom), dedicated to St Peter, is the most important church and landmark of the city of Regensburg, Germany. It is the seat of the Catholic diocese of Regensburg. The church is the prime example of Gothic architecture in Bavaria.
A first bishop's church was built around 700, at the site of the present-day cathedral parish church Niedermünster (St. Erhard's tomb). Around 739, St. Boniface chose the area of the Porta Praetoria (North Gate of the old Roman fort) for the bishop's seat, and the site of the cathedral has remained there since. The Cathedral was rebuilt in Carolingian times and expanded in the early 11th century, with an approximately 15-meter-wide transept, two towers and an atrium.
In 1156-1172 the edifice burnt twice, and was also rebuilt starting from 1273 in High Gothic style. The three choirs of the new cathedral were ready for use in 1320, while the old cathedral was demolished at the same time. In 1385-1415 the elaborate main entrance to the west was completed, with the most of the new edifice being finished around 1520; the cloister was constructed in 1514-1538.
The cupola at the transept crossing and other sectors were renovated in Baroque style in the 17th century. In 1828-1841 the cathedral underwent a neo/Gothic restoration commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The Baroque frescoes were relocated and the cupola demolished, being replaced by a quadripartite rib vault. The towers and their spires were built in 1859-1869. Three years later the cathedral was finally finished, with the completion of the transept gable and the spire (at the crossing), after some 600 years of construction.
The state-run Dombauhütte (Cathedral building workshop) was founded in 1923, for the ongoing oversight, maintenance, and restoration of the cathedral. In the 1980s construction of the crypt mausoleum and archeological exploration of the center nave (partial exposure of a former southern arcade entrance to the atrium of a precursor Roman structure) were carried on.
An unusual feature of Regensburg Cathedral is its separation from the structure of the older cloister. This separation came about when the church was rebuilt and displaced to the southwest of the earlier Romanesque cathedral. In testimony of that Romanesque precursor, the Eselsturm tower still stands on the north side of the cathedral; it was used in the past and is still used to transport construction materials to the upper levels. A pulley remains in the west loft, and with it materials were lifted through an opening in the ceiling near the west portal. To the east of the cathedral is the state-run Dombauhütte (cathedral building workshop) which is responsible for the preservation of the structure. In contrast with many cathedral building works, neither modern machines nor exclusively old tools are used. Rather, tools are manufactured in the workshop itself.
The Regensburg Cathedral is the bishop's church and the principal church of the Regensburg diocese. It is also the home of the Regensburger Domspatzen (cathedral sparrows), a choir rich in tradition. The structure is considered the most significant Gothic work in southern Germany.
The Cathedral is also the burial place of important bishops, including Johann Michael von Sailer (1829-1832, memorial built by Konrad Eberhard in the south chancel), Georg Michael Wittmann (1832-1833, memorial also by Konrad Eberhard in the north chancel), and Archbishop Michael Buchberger (1927-1961, likewise in the north chancel). In the western part of the central nave stands a bronze memorial for the Prince-Bishop Cardinal Philipp Wilhelm (d. 1598), the brother of Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria.

Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Neupfarrplatz
In the Middle Ages, the Regensburg Jewish quarter was located on the site of the square . Since 981 AD, there is evidence of a Jewish community in Regensburg. There are 39 houses today, including some public buildings such as the synagogue . The Jewish community had its own administration, a seal and its own judges. Religious hatred of the Jews, accusations of ritual murder , economic interests of the inhabitants, merchants and artisans led in Regensburg in the turning period from the 15th to the 16th century to demand that the emperor be allowed to expel the Jews. Emperor Maximilian I., who acted as their protector against payment by the Jews, rejected the city's desire because his financial interests were not secured in terms of the expected repayment sum. The council of the city remained in the following years in the demand for expulsion of Jews and the Regensburg cathedral preacher Balthasar Hubmaier heated the mood against the Jews significantly. When the emperor died in 1519, the council of the city took advantage of the hour and it came in a planned, the imperial captain Thomas Fuchs von Wallburg allegedly surprising action to expel the Jewish community (then about 500 citizens), the demolition of the synagogue and the remaining buildings of the district.
In the middle of the square stands the Neupfarrkirche from 1540. The Renaissance building was originally built as a Catholic pilgrimage church. The anti-Semitic Marian pilgrimage arose immediately after the destruction of the Jewish quarter. In the later legend of the miraculous Maria, she was traced back to an alleged miracle during the destruction of the former synagogue on the square. A few years after its establishment, the town council became a Protestant denomination in 1542 and the church became the first Protestant parish church.
On the south side of the square is the Palais Löschenkohl (Neupfarrplatz 14) Regensburg banker Jerome Löschenkohl to plans by 1733 Johann Michael Prunner in rococo was built style. After the bankruptcy of the business in 1743, the Electoral Saxon mission to the Perpetual Diet was housed there until 1806 , later a department store and a cinema. Today, here is a branch of Commerzbank .
Air raid shelters built by the National Socialists in 1939/40 and a fire-fighting water cistern damaged the foundations of the Jewish ghetto. On the east side of the square many houses were demolished in favor of a controversial new department store in the 1970s. Parts of the facade of the former Hauptwache, built in 1818 to plans by Michael Dobmayr - not, as is often assumed, by Emanuel Herigoyen - were integrated into the department store. In the 90s, the square was traffic calmed and redesigned.
During construction work to redesign the square in 1995 west of the Neupfarrkirche found the remains of the Gothic synagogue destroyed in 1519 and a Romanesque predecessor building from the 11th or 12th century. Previously, the synagogue had been suspected directly under the Neupfarrkirche. By Albrecht Altdorfer there are two detailed etchings of the synagogue, which facilitated the identification. During the excavations in the following years, large parts of the medieval cellars of the Jewish quarter were uncovered and found, among other things, a gold treasure from the 14th century with 624 gold coins and a finger ring with the seal of the Jewish community. The gold treasure is today in the Historical Museumto see. The local political conflicts over the excavations provoked strong civic engagement, which affected the extent and nature of the excavations (1995-97). Designed by Regensburg architects Lydia Lehner and Franz Robold Information Center document Neupfarrplatz today introduced multimedia, the 2000-year history of the place. In the underground showrooms walls of the Roman military camp, three basement of the medieval Jewish quarter, foundations are the Neupfarrkirche and parts a ring bunker built in 1940. A documentary leads the visitor virtually through the ages. The Israeli artist Dani Karavanmade the floor plan of the synagogue visible through a white concrete walk-in bas-relief inaugurated on July 13, 2005 .

Regensburg, Germany: The cathedral and other churches

Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) St Emmeram Church
St. Emmeram's Abbey, now known as Schloss Thurn und Taxis, Schloss St. Emmeram, and St. Emmeram's Basilica, was a Benedictine monastery founded in about 739 in Regensburg in Bavaria at the grave of the itinerant Frankish bishop Saint Emmeram.
When the monastery was founded in about 739, the bishops of Regensburg were abbots in commendam, a common practice at the time which was not always to the advantage of the abbeys concerned. In 975, Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg, then bishop of Regensburg and abbot of St. Emmeram's, voluntarily gave up the position of abbot and severed the connection, making the abbots of St. Emmeram's independent of the bishopric. He was one of the first German bishops to do this, and his example in this was much copied across Germany in the years following. The first independent abbot was Ramwold (later the Blessed Ramwold). Both he and Saint Wolfgang were advocates of the monastic reforms of Gorze.
Saint Wolfgang, who was made bishop in 972, ordered that a library be constructed at St. Emmeram shortly after his arrival in Regensburg. An active scriptorium had existed at St. Emmeram in the Carolingian period, but it is not known whether it occupied a special building, and it appears that relatively few manuscripts of poor quality were produced there during the early tenth century. Over time, some works in the scriptorium were copied by monks, some works were preserved from the Carolingian period, and others were acquired as gifts.
After a decline in its significance during the 16th century the abbey enjoyed a resurgence in the 17th and 18th centuries under abbots Frobenius Forster, Coelestin Steiglehner, Roman Zirngibl and Placidus Heinrich, great scholars, particularly in the natural sciences. Under their leadership the abbey academy came to rival the Münchner Akademie. St. Emmeram's had a long tradition of scientific enquiry dating from the Middle Ages, in witness of which the monastery preserved the astrolabe of William of Hirsau.
In 1812 the monastic buildings were granted to the Princes of Thurn und Taxis, who had St. Emmeram's Abbey converted as a residence known from then on as Schloss Thurn und Taxis, sometimes called Schloss Sankt Emmeram. St. Emmeram Castle (or Abbey) is the largest non-palatial residence in Germany, with 517 rooms and a floor area of 21,460 m2 (231,000 sq. ft). The impressive St. Emmeram Castle with its unique park in Regensburg's city center covers five hectares. The Thurn und Taxis princely family still uses the castle as its primary residence.
The abbey church became a parish church, to which, on 18 February 1964, Pope Paul VI accorded the status of a basilica minor. The Romanesque basilica with three aisles, three choirs and a west transept is based on an original church building from the second half of the 8th century. Since that time it has been many times partly destroyed and rebuilt. The oldest extant part of the building is the ring crypt under the choir of the northern aisle. The three medieval carved stone reliefs on the north portal, dating from about 1052, the oldest of their type in Germany, represent Christ, Saint Emmeram and Saint Denis. The west transept has a painted wooden ceiling depicting Saint Benedict of Nursia. The crypt of Saint Wolfgang is beneath the choir of Saint Denis. Next to Saint Denis's altar in the northern aisle is the tomb of Emma, Queen of the East Franks (died 876), let into the wall. The high altar dates from 1669.

Regensburg is a city in south-east Germany, situated at the confluence of the Danube, Naab and Regen rivers. Regensburg is the fourth-largest city in the State of Bavaria after Munich, Nuremberg and Augsburg. The city of Regensburg is the political, economic and cultural centre of Eastern Bavaria and the capital of the Bavarian administrative region Upper Palatinate.
The medieval centre of the city of Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testimony of the city's status as cultural centre of southern Germany in the Middle Ages.

Generally known in English as Ratisbon until well into the twentieth century, the city is known as Ratisbonne in French and as Ratisbona in Italian, Portuguese and Albanian.
Regensburg is situated on the northernmost part of the Danube river at the geological crossroads of four distinct landscapes:
To the north and northeast lies the Bavarian Forest (Bayerischer Wald) with granite and gneiss mountains, wide forests and its national park.
