Regensburg Cathedral of St. Peter Regensburg Cathedral St. Peter is one of the most important cathedrals in Germany. The church was not built all at once, but in many stages spanning 600 years. The Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral with the south choir began around the year 1270. The construction period lasted until the 16th century, although the two towers were still missing their tops at that time. It was not until 1869 that the Bavarian King Ludwig I had the two tower spires added to Regensburg Cathedral and the gables of the transept facades were also added by 1872. The church building, built in the French Gothic style, impresses with its 32 meter high vault, which extends over the entire central nave. Its almost complete preserved medieval stained glass windows are also famous. The depiction of Saint Peter in the south transept, for example, was created around 1325. The beautiful colorful windows envelop the interior of the cathedral in an almost mystical twilight.

Sights in Regensburg Regensburg, the “medieval wonder of Germany”, was added to the UNESCO list as a world cultural heritage site in July 2006. The city founded by the Romans with its almost 2,000-year history offers its visitors unique impressions. There are almost a thousand monuments to discover in the old town alone. Regensburg was a politically central place in Europe for centuries. In the “Perpetual Reichstag” in Regensburg, European political history was written at a time when the term “European Union” had not yet been invented. The convenient location on the Danube also had a very positive effect on the city's economic development. In the Middle Ages, Regensburg merchant families maintained business relationships from Paris to Kiev. The city became very wealthy through long-distance trade. The rich patricians created impressive buildings that still shape the cityscape today. St. Peter's Cathedral, the Stone Bridge, St. Emmeram Castle, the old town with its winding streets, all of this makes Regensburg a unique, world-class treasure chest.

Built entirely of stone between 1135 and 1146 at the latest, the Stone Bridge is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture and the oldest surviving bridge in Germany. It served as a model for many later bridges, including the Charles Bridge in Prague. For centuries, the bridge was the only permanent bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Vienna and played a central role in medieval long-distance trade. Its importance contributed significantly to Regensburg's UNESCO World Heritage status. The Stone Bridge is, alongside Regensburg Cathedral, the most important landmark and structure in Regensburg. The Bridge Man (Brückenmännchen) was a well-known symbol of the Stone Bridge from a very early stage, and its popularity has remained unchanged to this day. A visit to the Stone Bridge in Regensburg is highly recommended – for history buffs as well as architecture and city lovers. The bridge not only offers a fascinating insight into medieval engineering, but also a magnificent view of the Danube, Regensburg Cathedral, and the Old Town.

You have to experience it. Monumental building, you'll be amazed and have a great view!👍 It's worth a detour! A monumental building that, in my opinion, is in exactly the right place! It impressed me 20 years ago and the effect occurs again and again. If you have the opportunity, you should take a detour and visit the Hall of Fame.

Great to reach by bike! There are signs at the end of the path saying “get off”, but it’s all doable when it’s not very busy! 👍

Magnificent from the outside, well worth seeing from the inside. A clear recommendation! A visit to the cathedral is worthwhile not only for those interested in art and history, but also for anyone who wants to experience an impressive atmosphere. St. Peter's Cathedral in Regensburg is the most important Gothic building in Bavaria and an outstanding example of medieval architecture in Germany. Construction began around 1273 on the foundations of a Romanesque predecessor and was largely completed by the 16th century. The characteristic twin towers that characterize the cityscape, however, only received their current neo-Gothic appearance in the 19th century. With a height of around 105 meters, they are among the tallest church towers in Bavaria. The cathedral has been the cathedral of the Diocese of Regensburg for centuries and is dedicated to Saint Peter. Particularly worth seeing are the original stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th centuries, the delicate high choir and the richly decorated west facade. Another cultural highlight is the world-famous Regensburg Cathedral Choir, which originated here. A visit to the cathedral is not only worthwhile from an art historical perspective, but also offers impressive insights into Regensburg's religious and cultural history.
