Großprüfening-Dech Betten-Königswiesen is the 14th district of Regensburg . The city district is located in the west of the city south of the Westenviertel and west of Kumpfmühl-Ziegetsdorf-Neuprüll .

Königswiesen consists of the high-rise housing estate Königswiesen-Nord, which was built from 1972 by the nationwide housing company Neue Heimat . 118 blocks of flats and high-rise buildings with a total of 2,300 residential units were built on the hill of an agricultural estate. The collection of high-rise buildings is surrounded by Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and bordered to the south by the Königswiesen-Süd housing estate from the 1980s, which also has terraced and single-family houses. To the southwest of Königswiesen-Nord and lower is the Königswiesener Park as well as an industrial park that was created in the 1990s.

In Königswiesener Park there is a 19th century crypt chapel for members of the Boutteville and Zuylen van Nyefelt families, who were the previous owners of the former Königswiesen farm.

On April 1st, 1938 Großprüfening, Dech Betten and Königswiesen were incorporated into the city of Regensburg.

The branch and pilgrimage church of the Assumption is located in Dech Betten .

Großprüfening still has a clearly rural character. The development of the row village is closely connected with the monastery checking .

The place nameChecking is probably of Roman origin (from the Latin personal name Probinus , which is derived from probus "just"). Finds testify that the area was already settled in the Neolithic , Hallstatt and Celtic times. Finds of a fort and a camp village are attested from the Roman period . Found objects can be viewed in the Römerpark on Kornweg.

There has been a ferry connection across the Danube near Großprüfening since the early Middle Ages, which was first mentioned in writing in 1189. The right of transfer lay with the monastery checking . Long-distance trade to Nuremberg also ran via this river crossing. With the relocation of the trunk road to Nuremberg on the northern bank of the Danube , the place lost its economic importance. From the second half of the 19th century, however, the place was enjoyed by the citizens of Regensburg as an excursion and hiking destination as well as a summer resort . In addition, Großprüfening, which was surrounded by numerous nut trees, was known as the "Nussdorf" of Regensburg. In 1873 Großprüfening got a railway connection and its own train station. Today, the district of Großprüfening-Dech Betten-Königswiesen is connected to rail traffic through the Regensburg -prüfunging station .

In terms of art history, the St. Anne's Church with three late Gothic winged altars is significant.

Lignite and clay have been mined in the Friedrich-Zeche in Dech Betten since 1903, first underground, then in open-cast mining. In addition to lignite and clay, rocks, sand and earth are now mined and excavated earth and rubble are stored. A dismantling permit is available until 2029. The nearby brick factory was in operation until 1997. The lignite was used as an aggregate for brick production and as fuel. Today, lignite is also marketed as a soil substrate as an alternative to bark mulch .
