St. Cäcilia (Regensburg)
The listed Catholic parish church of St. Cäcilia is located at Reichsstrasse 12 in the eastern part of Regensburg .
history
The initiator for building the church was Franz Xaver Haberl . He needed a church as a "practice church" and for pastoral purposes for the building of the Catholic church music school built in 1887 (today the college for Catholic church music and music education ) in the nearby Reichsstrasse. Friedrich Niedermayer created the plans for the church . On April 16, 1900, the foundation stone was laid by the Regensburg Bishop Ignatius of Senestrey . On October 5, 1902, the church's benediction to St. Cäcilia of Rome was made by the then cathedral provost Paul Kagerer . On March 24, 1913, the church was consecrated by Bishop Anton von Henle . The parish of St. Cäcilia was founded in 1921. The church has been redesigned several times, partly for aesthetic, partly for liturgical reasons. On December 1, 1953, the eastern part of the parish was spun off as a curate and in 1964 elevated to the status of an independent parish of Mater Dolorosa . Both parishes have been cared for by the Paulines of St. Cäcilia (Weißenburgstrasse 16) since 2005 .
Buildings and equipment
The church is a three-aisled, south-facing neo - Romanesque basilica with a retracted choir, transept, choir flank tower and open staircase made of exposed bricks with house integrations.
In the west is the dominant church tower with a height of 46 m . The dimensions on the floor plan of the church result in a length of 40 m and a width of 20 m.
The simple effect of the interior is contrasted by colorfully decorated belt arches and colorful church windows. In the Pietà Chapel there is a figure by Guido Martini .
The baptismal font and the Easter candlestick form a transition to the center of the church. The spiritual center of the church is the high altar with the tabanacle. Above the high altar is a wall painting based on the Romanesque model with Christ as ruler of the world .
The Salvator Cross in a side chapel dates from the first half of the 14th century.
organ
The first organ came from 1901 as Opus 720 from GF Steinmeyer & Co. and had 31 registers , distributed over two manuals and a pedal . The disposition came from Franz Xaver Haberl. The divided prospectus design made it possible to make the two painted church windows visible in the background of the organ. The organ was financed by numerous pipe and register donations and was able to be installed before the church was completed. The organ was equipped with many of the innovative innovations of the time: It already had a free combination , six fixed combinations and a roll sill . In 1903 an electric wind generator was installed. Due to the unusually frequent use of the organ, the instrument had to be renovated and rebuilt as early as 1922, and after a few more years a new organ had to be purchased. Some of the pipes of this organ are still in the manner of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Amberg .
The current organ comes from the organ building company Michael Weise from 1939. It has 41 sounding registers, distributed over three manuals and pedal. The actions are electric. This made it possible to place a second console in the choir room to allow better contact with the choral schola . The prospect, designed by Michael Weise and the church painter Georg Winkler, was designed as a dominant free-pipe prospect that takes up the entire curve of the transept.
Bells
The tone sequence of the bells, whose tones correspond to the notes above the name "Caecilia" (3rd antiphon of Vesper Caecilia, fammula tua, domine ) is c'-d'-e'-g'-a '.
The bells 1 (Cäcilienglocke; 2150 kg), 2 (Franz-Xaver-Glocke; 1200 kg) and 5 (Herz-Maria-Glocke 350 kg) were made by Spannagl in Regensburg in 1901 , the bells 3 (Heiliger-Archangel-Michael-Glocke ; 1010 kg) and 4 (Friedrich-von-Regensburg-Glocke; 620 kg) cast by Hamm in Frankenthal in 1949.
