Dreifaltigkeitsberg (Regensburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dreifaltigkeitsberg , formerly called Osterberg , is located in Regensburg above the Steinweg district.

While the severe bubonic plague broke out in Regensburg around 1713 , some residents of the Stadtamhof and Steinweg districts built the Trinity Church on the mountain in order to be spared the epidemic. From Steinweg a way of the cross leads up the mountain, which ends in the chapel. In 1798 a cemetery in the Steinweg district was laid out on the mountain. In 1812 the cemetery was moved from Stadtamhof to the Trinity Mountain.

Way of the Cross to the Trinity Mountain

Station IX with the church in the background

The Way of the Cross to the Trinity Mountain is a cultural monument . It leads from Steinweg up to the chapel of the Trinity Mountain. The 14 stations of today's stone steles and the metal relief were created around 1845 and were donated by private individuals from Stadtamhof and Steinweg. Presumably, the Franciscans residing in Stadtamhof and the Bishop of Regensburg were also involved in the construction of the Way of the Cross . The end of the path is a chapel, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the church.

It is believed that the master stonemason Ludwig Graf, who also donated one of the stations, made it and attached it along the mountain path up to the church. The individual stations are made of cast iron and are designed in such a way that they show the figures on the back as negative images with blurred contours. The cast plates are recessed into the stone. In 1979/1980 the “Kreuzweg zum Dreifaltigkeitsberg” was renovated by the Kolping Steinweg family and mayor Alfred Hofmaier. In 2000/2001 it was renewed again by the history and homeland association Steinweg-Winzer eV and the homeland association “Statt am Hoff eV”.

The chapel

The chapel was built in 1730 and dedicated to the "Scourged Savior". In 1922 Heinrich Haubenrisser changed this chapel into a warrior memorial chapel.

The cemetery

Wedge stone of the cemetery

In 1798 the citizens of Steinweg built a cemetery with a wall next to the church on the Trinity Hill. The cemetery wedge with a relief of a grape and the letters “St. W. “, which means stone path, are chiseled, is next to the church. In the same year, an image of the crucified with the painful Maria was also attached to the sacristan's house on the east side. Inside the walls there is a sarcophagus in the southeast corner . Not far from there is a mass grave in which Austrian soldiers were buried who tried to take Stadtamhof by storm on April 19, 1809. Stadtamhof was taken over by the French at that time. More than 800 Austrians died in this attempt at conquest. In 1812 the cemetery was moved from Stadtamhof to the Dreifaltigkeitsberg.
