history

St. Judas Thaddäus in Regensburg

Originally, the parish of St. Anton built a stone emergency church on the High Cross. The building was dedicated to St. Jude Thaddäus on October 13, 1929 and a subsidiary church of St. Cäcilia . The church was bombed on December 20, 1944 (probably because of its proximity to Regensburg harbor ) and was badly damaged. While it was still undergoing temporary repairs, it was hit again by aerial bombs on April 16, 1945 and completely destroyed. The services were temporarily held in a nearby barn belonging to the Bischofshof brewery.

The population growth in East Regensburg in the post-war period made it necessary to build a larger church. Hans Beckers built a new church from 1952–1954, which was designated as Mater Dolorosa on December 13, 1953, despite protests from the population. Before that, on December 1, 1953, Mater Dolorosa was founded as a parish curate . In 1964 it was spun off as an independent parish from St. Cäcilia. The parish of Mater Dolorosa has been looked after by the Paulines of St. Cäcilia since 2005 .

building

The church is a gable-independent hall building with a flat gable roof, retracted choir with rooms and a flank tower in reinforced concrete grid construction .

organ

The church was equipped with the only multiplex organ in Regensburg until 2018 . After this became unplayable, the congregation acquired a digital sacred organ . The multiplex organ was sold. For this purpose, a pipe organ was purchased from the organ builder Hendrik Jan Vierdag from Enschede , which was originally made for the reformed Opstandingskerk (Church of the Resurrection) in Voorburg , built in 1964 . This church and community center closed in 2018. The organ that was no longer needed was brought to Regensburg by the Dutch company JL van den Heuvel Orgelbouw and handed over to its intended use on November 25, 2018. The purely mechanical slider tray instrument has the following disposition :
