Places to see in ( Regensburg - Germany ) Haidplatz
The Haidplatz is a central place in the Regensburg old town. The course goes back to an elongated meadow (Heide) west of the former Roman camp. The shape of the later built triangular square is based on a fork of a road. In the Middle Ages were here jousting tournaments held. Legend has it that the tournament between Knight Dollinger and Pagan Krako took place here. In the 17th century, a French surgeon tried to cross the square on a wire rope, hung with firecrackers, and crashed. The square is used today for numerous cultural events such as the Bavarian Jazz Weekend.
The defining building at the northwestern end of the square is the early Gothic 1250 built patrician Golden Cross . The house was initially owned by the Weltenburg family, later followed by the Zeller in the 15th century. The crenellated house with tower and house chapel was since the 16th century an inn and served as a hostel for many princes and emperors. The most famous guest was Emperor Charles V , who descended here in 1532, 1541 and 1546. During the last stay he discovered the belt daughter Barbara Blomberg . From the relationship of the 46-year-old emperor with the 18-year-old girl went Don Juan d'Austria , the later winner of the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto, The alleged birthplace of Barbara Blomberg is located very close to the square in Tändlergasse. A monument to Don Juan d'Austria stands nearby on Zieroldsplatz. Later, personalities such as King Ludwig I of Bavaria, the German Kaiser Wilhelm I or Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria stayed here . Even today, the building serves as a hotel and café.
East of the Golden Cross is located on the square, the classicist Thon Dittmer Palace , which was redesigned from 1803 to 1809 by the Archbishop Dalbergischer court architect Emanuel Herigoyen and remained until 1856 in the possession of the merchant family of Thon-Dittmer . Then it went into the possession of the city of Regensburg. Today, here cultural department, community college, public library, German-American Institute and the Theater am Haidplatz housed. In the basement there is the gothic Sigismund Chapel from 1270, uncovered in 1968. In the Renaissance-Arkadenhof regularly find cultural events, u. a. classical concerts and the Regensburger silent film days, instead.
The equally impressive building on the east side of the square is the Neue Waag . The former patrician house of the Altmann family was acquired by the city in 1441 and then housed the Stadtwaage and the Herrenkrinkstube . The arcades in the courtyard date back to 1575. On the ground floor, in the Gothic vault, is the stone townhouse . The building houses the classicist Napoleon Hall . In 1541 the religious discussion between Philipp Melanchthon and Johannes Eck took place in the Neue Waag . From 1783 to 1875 the Imperial City Library was housed here. Today the building is the seat of the administrative court.

11. SOUNDBITE: (German) Klemens Unger, Head of Regensburg Culture Department:
Regensburg has a unique character and also a unique architecture; both Gothic and Roman. It has a Patrician (Roman) castle and a landscape of roofs and towers. What's special about it (the castle) is that it has cellars - for example to store wheat or wine - that are not made of wood like it was typical in the Middle Ages, but built of stone. And it doesn't just have one cellar, it has half a dozen of them.

The city of Regensburg is the best preserved medieval city in Germany. One of few to survive the Second World War with very little damage it now thrives as a living medieval city rich in baroque heritage.
In the Middle Ages, it was among the wealthiest and largest urban centres in Europe with trading connections as far away as Paris, Venice and Kiev.
Now this medieval town, located on the Danube river in Bavaria, has been added to UNESCO's list of world heritage sites to preserve its beauty for future generations to enjoy.
STORYLINE:
Regensburg Cathedral in the heart of the old city, is testimony to a city rich in religious and cultural history.
The cathedral is the main work of pure German Gothic architecture in Bavaria. The medieval stained glass windows are considered unique in Germany.
Work began on the city's cathedral in the thirteenth century a stunning example of Gothic architecture.
The building took nearly four centuries to complete.
The city's development began with the founding of the Roman legion camp Castra Regina in 179 AD, but the tourist office says that people were living in this area of the river Danube since the Stone Ages.

SUMMARY
=======
The purpose of this timeline is to give a detailed account of Christianity from the beginning of the current era (AD) to the present. Question marks ('?') on dates indicate approximate dates.
The year one is the first year in the Christian calendar (there is no year zero), which is the calendar presently used (in unison with the Gregorian calendar) almost everywhere in the world. Traditionally, this was held to be the year Jesus was born; however, most modern scholars argue for an earlier or later date, the most agreed upon being between 6 BC and 4 BC.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of Catholic Mariology traces theological developments and views regarding Mary from the early Church to the 21st century. Mariology is a mainly Catholic ecclesiological study within theology, which centers on the relation of Mary and the Church. Catholic Mariology is the encyclopedic area of theology concerned with Mary, the Mother of God. Theologically, it not only deals with her life, but her veneration in daily life, prayer, art, music, architecture, in modern and ancient Christianity throughout the ages.
Throughout history, Catholics have continued to build churches to honor the Blessed Virgin. Today, a large number of Catholic churches dedicated to the Blessed Virgin exist on all continents, and in a sense, their evolving architecture tells the unfolding story of the development of Catholic Mariology. Throughout Catholic history, the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary has led to the creation of numerous items of Roman Catholic Marian art. Today, these items may be viewed from an artistic perspective, but also they are part of the fabric of Catholic Mariology.

SUMMARY
=======
The Franciscans are a group of related mendicant religious orders within the Catholic Church, founded in 1209 by Saint Francis of Assisi. These orders include the Order of Friars Minor, the Order of Saint Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis. These orders adhere to the teachings and spiritual disciplines of the founder and of his main associates and followers, such as Clare of Assisi, Anthony of Padua, and Elizabeth of Hungary, among many others.Francis began preaching around 1207 and traveled to Rome to seek approval from Pope Innocent III in 1209 to form a new religious order. The original Rule of Saint Francis approved by the Pope disallowed ownership of property, requiring members of the order to beg for food while preaching. The austerity was meant to emulate the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Franciscans traveled and preached in the streets, while boarding in church properties. Saint Clare, under Francis's guidance, founded the Poor Clares (Order of Saint Clare) in 1212, which remains a Second Order of the Franciscans. The extreme poverty required of members was relaxed in the final revision of the Rule in 1223. The degree of observance required of members remained a major source of conflict within the order, resulting in numerous secessions.The Order of Friars Minor, previously known as the Observant branch, is one of the three Franciscan First Orders within the Catholic Church, the others being the Conventuals (formed 1517) and Capuchins (1520). The Order of Friars Minor, in its current form, is the result of an amalgamation of several smaller orders completed in 1897 by Pope Leo XIII. The latter two, the Capuchin and Conventual, remain distinct religious institutes within the Catholic Church, observing the Rule of Saint Francis with different emphases. Conventual Franciscans are sometimes referred to as minorites or greyfriars because of their habit. In Poland and Lithuania they are known as Bernardines, after Bernardino of Siena, although the term elsewhere refers to Cistercians instead.
