The Cathedral Square in Regensburg is almost in the center of the old town . The square is divided into several individual spaces and goes directly into the Krauterer market in the north. The two high cathedral towers can be seen from many parts of the city and offer a good orientation aid in the winding streets of the old town. In addition to the cathedral, the central location has always given the square great importance as a place for church events and processions, as a popular marketplace, as a tourist meeting point or as a meeting place for political and cultural events. In the 20th century, Domplatz gained importance as a center of local traffic and was popular as a car park after the Second World War. This use has been increasingly controversial since the beginning of the 21st century and has been gradually pushed back since 2018.

Distribution and creation, location and surroundings

Strictly speaking, the Domplatz consists of three interconnected, differently sized squares that were created at different times. It is common to designate two of these squares as different sized cathedral squares . The smaller of these cathedral squares lies in front of the imposing west facade of Regensburg Cathedral and, with the two towers of the cathedral in the background, is a popular attraction and meeting point for tourists. The much larger, southern cathedral square , bounded in the east by a Schwibbogen, is characterized by the south facade of Regensburg Cathedral, the former parish church of St. Ulrich to the east and, since 2010, the equestrian statue of Ludwig I (Bavaria) . In its current width, the large southern cathedral square was only built shortly before 1900, after some historic buildings on its south side had been demolished and the new buildings moved significantly further south. As a result of these demolition and new construction measures, the third of the cathedral squares was created, which can also be seen as the southeastern part of the large southern cathedral square. But it bears its own name Albrecht Altdorfer Platz after the Altdorfer fountain created by the sculptor Fritz Koenig was erected there in 1982 for the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Altdorfer's birth .

South Cathedral Square with Albrecht-Altdorfer Platz

The large southern Domplatz with its steps on the south facade of the Regensburg Cathedral offers popular places to stay in sunny weather. In its current width of approx. 30 m, the square was only created at the end of the 19th century. Until then, there was only the slightly widened Domstrasse, approx. 15 cm wide, which was densely built up with large buildings on the side opposite the cathedral. These buildings were demolished in the course of the so-called uncovering of the cathedral at the end of the 19th century in order - as it was said - to provide a better view of the cathedral and the then new cathedral towers. These demolitions created space for large new buildings that were relocated to the south and whose successor buildings, later redesigned several times, still dominate the south side of Domplatz today.

The large southern Domplatz with a length of approx. 150 m is bounded in the west by Residenzstrasse , which connects the Domplatz to the south with the Neupfarrplatz . The Residenzstraße got its name from the building on the corner of the Domplatz, which was created around 1800 through a complete renovation of the old cathedral propstei. The newly built palace in the classicism style was then considered the most modern palace in Regensburg and in 1803 was considered worthy to serve as the residence of the new clergy, Carl Theodor von Dalberg . From the middle of the southern Domplatz further south, Pfauengasse leads into the shopping district and ends where Kassiansplatz and Schwarze-Bären-Straße meet. From the southeastern Domplatz, where the area of Albrecht-Altdorfer-Platz begins, a narrow building passage enables the way to the south, where the very hidden square Am Frauenbergl is located behind the building . From there, Salzburger Gasse continues south into the shopping district.

In the east, the southern cathedral square ends with a rather narrow flying buttress that connects the Roman tower with the remaining building of the Herzogshof to the south . The passage under the Schwibbogen leads to the old grain market

West cathedral square and Krauterer market

The much smaller western cathedral square in front of the west facade of the cathedral is almost square with a length of approx. 30 m and is bordered to the north by the walls of the collegiate church of St. Johann . Until the 19th century, sovereignty over this narrow northern area of ​​the square - called St. Peter's Square - between the collegiate church and cathedral remained hotly contested between the cathedral chapter and city council. This led to the fact that the city allowed the extension of up to 14 stall-like general stores along the south facade of the collegiate church, which survived until the end of the 19th century despite the fierce resistance from the cathedral chapter.

In the street area, the western Domplatz is closely connected with another square-like area called the Krauterer Markt . The name was already in use in the 14th century because the farmers offered the vegetables and sauerkraut grown in the east of the city here in front of the bishop's court and in front of the St. Johann collegiate church. The formerly steeply sloping area of ​​the Krauterer Markt was tiered in 1907 with the creation of a terrace. The eagle fountain typical of Regensburg is also located here, with Renaissance decor from 1566 and an ornamental grille from 1592. The octagonal basin stands on a stepped base and shows the imperial and city arms. The central column carries a gold-plated ball on which a bronze eagle sits. The Krauterermarkt is surrounded by representative buildings from different eras, in addition to the bishop's court on the west side and on the east side. These include the baroque property Krauterermarkt No. 1 with its characteristic round bay with an onion dome, property No. 2 the so-called Hohe Laden, formerly Haus zum Lindwurm, a three-winged building with a medieval core and Romanesque cellars, which unfortunately was built in the 17th and 20th centuries has been rebuilt several times and with great losses. To the north, the herb market is completed by the house of the Adler pharmacy, which has existed since 1644 and which was combined with a Renaissance building from 1593 by the princely building officer Max Schultze in 1888 . From the Krauterermarkt to the west, the two narrow streets Watmarkt and Kramgasse lead directly into the so-called Gängeviertel of the old town. From the Krauterermarkt to the north, you cross Goliathstrasse and Unter den Schwibbögen and, via Weisse-Hahnen-Gasse, reach the nearby historic Wurstkuchl and the Salzstadel (World Heritage Center) on the banks of the Danube, as well as the Stone Bridge .

Former ducal court

The original and now only partially preserved Herzogshof was the building that was furthest east across from the cathedral. It thus bordered the Alten Kornmarkt to the east and was immediately adjacent to the Salzburger Hof on Domplatz . After the demolition measures of 1936 described below, only a narrow eastern part of the original Herzogshof remained, the façade of which has been redesigned several times and now faces the neighboring Old Kornmarkt to the east. The rear of the remaining building, which was redesigned after the demolition work, now forms the eastern end of Albrecht Altdorfer-Platz or Domplatz .

Former Salzburg court

When, in the 10th century, the Palatinate area on what is now the Old Kornmarkt was closed and individual Palatinate buildings were given away by Emperor Otto II , the Archbishop of Salzburg received a building in the northwest of what was then the Old Kornmarkt, the so-called Salzburg Court , in 976 . Its location roughly corresponds to the southeastern area of ​​today's Albrecht-Altdorfer Platz on the southern Domplatz, but it was far advanced towards the cathedral. The appearance of the Salzburger Hof, which was generously expanded in the 12th century, can be seen from old drawings. Since the construction maintenance caused high costs, the building was mostly leased to Regensburg council families. In 1807, shortly before the city was taken over by the Kingdom of Bavaria , the former Salzburg court, which had now largely fallen into disrepair, was sold to a Regensburg wholesaler for 4,800 guilders. He sold the building in 1811 to the Regensburg retailer Götz, who set up a dye works there. In 1893 the Salzburg court was bought by the Regensburg Cathedral Freedom Association for demolition. The association founded on the initiative of Mayor Oscar von Stobäus intended to " create a free view of the south side of the cathedral, in particular through the acquisition and removal of buildings ". With the planned demolition of the Romanesque Salzburg court there were plans to demolish further buildings to the west. A royal Bavarian post office was to be rebuilt, which, compared to the old buildings, was to be moved significantly to the south in order to create a greater distance from the cathedral and thus enable a better view of the new cathedral towers.

Former Dompfarrhof, inn

To the west of the Salzburger Hof , on a narrow area between the Salzburger Hof and the Alte Post building, was the Dompfarrhof, which can be traced back to 1296 and dates from the Romanesque period. The rectory had a chapel, the foundations of which were found underground in May 2010 when the equestrian statue of King Ludwig I was re-erected. It was found that today's equestrian monument is located exactly at the location of the house chapel of the former parsonage. In 1820 the parsonage was converted into an inn and demolished in 1892 on the occasion of the planned new building of the royal Bavarian post office. Only a Romanesque round arch of the portal with looped ribbon decoration, dated to 1190, remained from the Dompfarrhof in the museum.

Former Old Post Office, Royal Post Office

Located to the west of the Dompfarrhof at the confluence of Pfauengasse and Domstraße, which was still narrow at the time, so close to the cathedral in a building line with the Salzburger Hof and the Alte Post . The building was created in 1811 through the merger with two other canonical courtyards and was referred to in the address book as: Royal Upper Post Office House with all associated offices, both on horseback and traveling (letter post and stagecoach) together with the apartments of the Royal. Chief Postmaster . All three buildings - Salzburger Hof - Dompfarrhof - Alte Post were demolished in 1892 in order to rebuild the Dompost . The new Dompost was built in 1895/6 and its southern facade was moved considerably back to the south, so that the distance to the cathedral was greatly increased and the cathedral square was created in its current dimensions.

Dompropstei, 1802–1810 residence of the Prince Primate von Dalberg

Former Dompropstei, then so-called residence

Information board residence

At the corner of Domplatz and Residenzstraße (Domplatz No. 6), opposite the Heuporthaus is the former Dompropstei . It was designed between 1795 and 1800 by the princely building director Joseph Sorg for the then cathedral provost Joseph Carl Ignaz Graf von Lerchenfeld . To build a representative palace, he used several medieval canon courts as predecessor buildings. Early classical stucco decorations adorned the façades of the square structure on Domplatz. This was followed by a wing building, which until 1855 extended south along Residenzstrasse to Drei-Helmen-Gasse on Neupfarrplatz . The southern building and the rear building were acquired by the Royal Bank in 1855 and redesigned. The architectural unit of the entire complex was thus given up. The southern part was redesigned again in 1912 in the neo-coco style. The historically valuable northern part of the complex, however, retained its noble, classical character and, with its exposed location, characterizes the south-western area of ​​the Domplatz.

1802–1810 the building served as a residence for the Prince-Primate Karl Theodor von Dalberg . On April 24, 1809 During the Battle of Regensburg , Dalberg was not in Regensburg. Therefore, the residence building could be used as overnight accommodation for Napoleon . The living quarters of the cathedral provost, Count Thurn, who also lived in the house, had previously been looted by French soldiers, but Napoleon made ample compensation for him. At a reception for the city's secular and clerical dignitaries, Napoleon promised the city a sum of 1 million guilders as compensation for the war damage caused by his troops. The money was later used to build Maximilianstrasse .

A plaque under the balcony commemorates the stay of Napoleon with the words: Here in the then / PRIMARY RESIDENCE / was the headquarters / OF THE EMPEROR / NAPOLEON / April 24th and 25th, 1809

In 1810 after secularization and the transfer of the city of Regensburg to the Kingdom of Bavaria , the residential building first fell to Bavaria, came into the possession of the city in 1853 and was then sold to private customers. In 2008 an extensive roof renovation was completed, which showed that the roof structure originates from a late Gothic previous building. The color scheme of the building was also redesigned according to the monochrome first version and the courtyard entrance, dated 1800, received a new, stylistically matching solid wooden gate

New Dompost, Oberpostdirektion (1895)

After the demolition of the three medieval, historical buildings Salzburger Hof , Dompfarrhof and Alte Post , which were immediately to the east of the Herzogshof , construction of the New Dompost Post Office building (Domplatz No. 3) began in 1895 . The facade of the new building was moved significantly away from the cathedral to the south in order to widen the cathedral square. The facade of the new three-story building was designed as a neo-renaissance palace facade with 13 window axes. The building had protruding side wings with volute gables , a clock tower with a pedestrian passage and a rich neo-renaissance structure in natural stone. The counter hall also received a splendid neo-renaissance interior. The Herzogshof was not affected by these building measures and remained to the east of the New Dompost.

Installation of the equestrian statue of Ludwig I (1902)

The erection of the equestrian statue in 1902 was the logical conclusion of the redesign of the cathedral square that had started 10 years earlier. A committee for the freedom of the Regensburg Cathedral , founded by cathedral vicar Georg Dengler , mayor Oscar von Stobäus , the princely building officer Max Schultze and the Pustet family of publishers , had carried out systematic lobbying work to promote the uncovering of the cathedral as a national matter. As a result of the demolition measures to the south of the cathedral, the cathedral was freed from the buildings that had previously been built close to it. This finally made it possible to see the Gothic cathedral, which was completely completed in 1872, with both high towers, and to enable it to make a representative appearance as a monument of national greatness. Because King Ludwig I had supported all cathedral construction measures, although he had abdicated in 1848, the Comité made the decision: " From now on, the cathedral square belongs to the beauty of the cathedral and the manes of King Ludwig ". The sculptor Ferdinand von Miller the Younger , who had also created the marble seated statue of the king in the Valhalla , was commissioned to create an equestrian statue as a memorial for the initiator of the completion of the cathedral, who died in 1868 . Miller created a monument that showed King Ludwig with his scepter raised as an active regent on horseback, who appears at the center of public, urban life in order to be perceived as representative. The statue in the middle of the Domplatz in an unusual direction transverse to the axis of the square, with the view of the king towards the cathedral, points the visitor to the main building. With its geographical position between the Walhalla and the Liberation Hall , the statue can be viewed as a review of the life's work of the king as the client. It stands on a marble plinth with the inscriptions on the front and back: LUDWIG I: KING OF BAVARIA and Erected by the thankful city of Regensburg .

The unveiling ceremony of the equestrian statue on May 8, 1902 took place in the presence of Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria , a son of the depicted king, who had traveled on a special train with the whole family and his court. The celebration developed into the largest public festival of the time in Regensburg. There were gun salutes and the Von der Tann infantry regiment lined the Domplatz in parade formation. All church bells rang at the beginning of the pontifical mass in the cathedral. In a splendid parade, models of the king's buildings, cathedral, Walhalla and the Liberation Hall were carried through the city.

Extended New Dompost (1936)

Only 40 years after its construction, the New Dompost building was redesigned in the Romanesque style in 1936 . The old neo-renaissance facade decoration was removed in a clear cut and replaced with smooth plaster. Inside the building, too, the new-renaissance furnishings, which had given the counter hall a palatial appearance, were removed. The realization that the New Dompost had been planned much too small and urgently needed an extension had serious structural consequences . The property to the east was ideal for this. The medieval ducal courtyard standing there was purchased for demolition in order to build an extension for the Dompost in its place. The planned total demolition of the Herzogshof met resistance from the monument conservator Walter Boll . He succeeded in convincing Lord Mayor Otto Schottenheim of the historical importance of the Herzogshof, which, however, did not prevent the planned expansion of the Dompost building. The demolition could only be stopped when Romanesque arcades were encountered in the course of the demolition work and even - hidden under a false ceiling - a Gothic coat of arms ceiling was discovered. The east wing of the Herzogshof was saved with the Ducal Hall, which was retained in its original dimensions. The remaining building was given a passage for pedestrians and its smooth east facade was transformed into an ideal medieval state by using a Romanesque biforium as an ornament . At the place of the broken down western parts of the building of the Herzoghof , a recessed connecting building with the Dompost was built, creating today's Albrecht-Altdorfer-Platz.

Removal of the equestrian statue (1936)

After the decoration on the façade of the post office building was removed , the equestrian monument of King Ludwig I, now standing in front of the purified main façade of the Extended Dompost , was regarded as a stylistic alien body that no longer suited the ideology prevailing at the time. The dismantling of the monument was prepared in secret by Mayor Schottenheim , carried out on August 20, 1936 without much press coverage and justified with traffic obstructions. The memorial was erected again in October 1936 in the green space near the train station so as not to provide monarchist circles with an excuse for complaints. As a replacement, Arno Breker was supposed to create a well on the space gained by the expansion, a project that failed in 1942 for economic reasons.

Southwest Cathedral Square, Heuport House (2011)

Construction work on the Heuporthaus (after 1937)

In the southwest the Domplatz is bordered by the patrician castle Heuporthaus , which is now used as a gastronomic and hotel . When planning began at the beginning of the 20th century to improve the traffic development of the old town, the preservation of the patrician castle was in serious danger. In order to create a road connection between Bismarckplatz via Kumpfmühlerstraße and Emmeramsplatz to Domplatz, consideration was given to demolishing the Heuporthaus along with other houses. The plan was not implemented at the time, but was discussed for decades. In order to permanently avert the danger of demolition, the building was given a row of Gothic tracery windows that characterize the facade at the instigation of the cultural department and museum director Walter Boll and was upgraded to a coffee house unique in the German Empire.

Measures and uses after 1945

Reconstruction of the equestrian statue (2010)

Equestrian statue in front of the cathedral facade (2011)

In the period after the Second World War, only a few requests were made to place the equestrian statue of King Ludwig I back in its original location on Domplatz, especially since the new location of the monument in Fürst-Anselm-Allee at the train station from 1951 due to the image the Fürstenallee as a promenade with monuments and also by the 1951 newly added memorial of Bishop Sailer , who was revered by Ludwig I. Even as in 1952 - 50 years after the monument was erected - the monument was seen as a potential obstacle to traffic on Domplatz, which would hinder the car-friendly development of the old town that was planned at the time. When this development was slowed down in 1978, an art historian pointed out that the locations of the two monuments to Sailer and Ludwig I were unsuitable and that there were more suitable locations with regard to traffic calming. In 1986, the city's head of cultural affairs advocated the erection of the royal monument at the original location on Domplatz, but it did not get through. During this time, considerations began to improve the connection between the old town and the train station, which made it necessary to relocate both monuments. This made it clear that the locations of both monuments at the train station had to be available, and in 1993 a decision by the cultural committee also showed the will to return both monuments to their former locations with the original architectural context.

In 2002, demands were again made to take measures to calm traffic and to make Domplatz traffic-free. Controversies arose with economic and environmental policy arguments that were so violent that historical considerations played no role. In 2003 a referendum on “traffic-calmed cathedral square” failed. A few years passed in which the mood calmed down and in which many views changed after initiatives by friends of the old town, supported by expert opinions from art historians. The city council's culture committee spoke out in favor of the restoration and the erection of the equestrian monument of Ludwig I on Domplatz. The Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments did not agree to the retrieval of the monument because the architectural framework had changed too much since the monument was first erected due to the loss of the renaissance facades of the neighboring buildings and because a concept for the future design of the Domplatz was missing. In the end, however, the following monumental concept prevailed: "The location of the equestrian monument with its orientation towards the cathedral is an essential part of the idea for the monument. That is why the non-monumental condition that was brought about in 1936 must be lifted by the re-erection of the monument on the cathedral square when the stylistic environment is no longer there because of the chipped renaissance facades of the cathedral post office. "

The city council followed the monument concept and in June 2008 the 4 m high and 1.8 ton heavy equestrian statue was transported to the metal restoration workshop Haber and Brandner for examination, cleaning, restoration and conservation. The statue, consisting of 18 bronze castings connected with bronze screws, and the plinth consisting of a cast part were examined endoscopically and proved to be stable and in good condition even after 100 years of service life. The most time-consuming was cleaning the surfaces where they were soiled by the secretions of the avenue trees. The cleaned surfaces were preserved with wax. On the occasion of the foundation for the equestrian monument of King Ludwig I, archaeological excavations were carried out in 2010 at the planned old and new location. Well-preserved remains of the previous buildings were found at a depth of just 1 m. Parts of the wall of the former cathedral parish courtyard belonging to the southern flank of the former house chapel were recorded. This finding leads to the realization that the equestrian monument of King Ludwig I stands exactly at the location of the medieval house chapel of the former cathedral parish court. The continuation of the excavations in an easterly direction to the Alter Kornmarkt cut through the entire north wing of the former Salzburg courtyard and also revealed evidence of a former Romanesque house tower on the northeast corner of the Salzburg courtyard .

Use of the cathedral square

As photos from the time at the beginning of the 20th century show, the use of the Domplatz and the adjoining Krauterer Markt as a marketplace was maintained after 1903, when the first tram line from Stadtamhof to the train station started operating and crossed Domplatz. Even if the route in Goliathstraße caused problems due to narrow streets and sharp bends, a central stop and transfer station on Domplatz could not be dispensed with. After the complete expansion of the tram network, three out of four lines crossed Domplatz with double tracks until the end of operations in 1964. After the tram operation was switched to bus operation, the Domplatz continued to be served by three main bus routes for years also with double articulated buses, which completely filled the width of the narrow old town streets. It was only after 1997 that public bus operations in the old town were discontinued in accordance with the city's traffic calming and redesigning of the historical sequence of squares in Regensburg . Instead, a less frequent old town bus line was introduced, which has been operated with smaller electric buses since 2017. In addition to this bus line, the Domplatz is also used as a boarding point for a tourist train that runs during the tourist season.

There are no reports or photos about the use of the Domplatz as a parking lot for cars for the early days of automobiles. However, it has been handed down that the Domplatz was often used as a car park, especially after the equestrian monument was removed in 1936, because the Domplatz was part of an important transport link that crossed the old town from east to west. In addition, on the Domplatz - in contrast to other places in the old town ( Alter Kornmarkt , Arnulfsplatz , Emmeramsplatz ) - potential parking areas were not blocked by fountains, monuments or horticultural facilities. In addition, the Domplatz was not only an attractive destination for motorists to visit the main post office and cathedral. Starting from Domplatz, many shopping areas in the old town, as well as restaurants and excursion destinations on the banks of the Danube, were within walking distance. Particularly for the years around 1970, reports by residents of the old town in the area around Domplatz speak of a very heavy and constant search for a parking space at the time.

Because after the Second World War the city policy under Mayor Rudolf Schlichtinger had set itself the goal of converting and expanding the old town into a city ​​suitable for cars, all the other existing parking spaces in the old town ( Neupfarrplatz , Kohlenmarkt, Haidplatz , Arnulfsplatz ) were retained and even new parking spaces were created (Alter Kornmarkt, Emmeramsplatz, Aegidienplatz ), so that in the 1960s 12,000 vehicles drove through the old town every day. More parking spaces were required when the construction of a large department store complex without an associated parking garage was considered for the Neupfarrplatz, which is adjacent to the Domplatz, and was also started after 1971. After the completion of the department store, the operator, in accordance with the Association of Old Town Merchants, always endeavored to preserve all parking spaces on Domplatz and in the old town. The situation improved when, following the results of an urban planning competition in 1982, the redesign of the historical sequence of squares was gradually implemented through traffic and structural measures as a cultural axis that shaped the old town. With the exception of the end of the old Kornmarkt Domplatz and Arnulfsplatz squares, the remaining squares (Krauterermarkt, Kohlenmarkt, Rathausplatz and Haidplatz) were canceled as usable parking spaces and the connecting roads were downgraded to traffic-calmed streets with special traffic or made unattractive by one-way regulations on other streets.

Some parking spaces were lost on Domplatz due to the re-erection of the equestrian statue of Ludwig I, but 15 parking spaces remained. The further reduction of parking spaces was considered by the city administration as a long-term project in the context of the so-called old town furniture and taking into account citizens' wishes for more greenery in the old town . After corresponding construction work in autumn 2019, during which three trees were planted, there were still 10 parking spaces. At the autumn symposium 2019 on traffic planning in Regensburg, international experts were amazed that the Domplatz in Regensburg is not part of the pedestrian zone. Surprisingly, in December 2019, the city administration took another step in this direction and classified the Domplatz including the Krauterermarkt as a traffic-calmed area only with special parking authorization, with the removal of the remaining short-term parking spaces . The previously possible through traffic was made more difficult by changing the direction of travel in the adjacent street Unter den Schwibbögen .

Remarks

  1. ↑ In Regensburg it was customary to stick to old street names for a long time. Accordingly, the address book from 1868 still says: Residenz- or Judengasse , because this lane led to the north gate (Heutor) of the former Jewish quarter on Neupfarrplatz, which was destroyed in 1519.
  2. ↑ The name of the Salzburger Gasse is reminiscent of the former medieval buildings on Domstrasse, which ended roughly here, with the Salzburger Hof, which was one of the buildings that were demolished around 1900.
  3. ↑ Parts of the Herzogshof were also demolished around 1900, further parts were demolished in 1936.
  4. ↑ The building also had a tall Romanesque house tower on the northeast corner of the Salzburger Hof, directly opposite the tower of the St. Ulrich Church, which still existed in 1859 . The foundations of the tower were verified in 2010
  5. ↑ The post office in the Dompost was discontinued in 2018. Parts of the Dompost building and the connecting building to the Herzogshof, as well as the Herzogshof itself, have been used for gastronomic purposes for a long time
  6. ↑ At first, house demolitions were even planned in Goliathstrasse, but this was only carried out on the driveway to the Stone Bridge.
  7. ↑ The final places are part of existing through traffic connections, in the case of Arnulfsplatz with regular bus services, and therefore require special consideration.
