St. Conrad

St. Konrad is the Catholic parish church in the Regensburg district of Konradsiedlung at St.-Konrad-Platz 5.

history

The church was built in 1935/36 according to plans by the local architect Max Wittmann on a hill on the settlement area. The church was conceived as a pastoral care center for the National Socialist model settlement Schottenheim . The artistic equipment was created by local forces. After the end of the Second World War , the patron saint of the church, lay brother Konrad von Parzham , gave its name to the entire settlement. After the congregation had grown significantly, the nave was extended in 1952 by Hans Beckers . On October 5, 1953, the church was raised to a parish. After a further strong growth of the congregation and the new liturgical requirements for the church design by the Second Vatican Council , the church building was again enlarged with an extension in 1966/1967 according to plans by the government architect Franz Günthner. The extended nave was demolished and replaced by a glass tent roof construction in a modern design language. Today the community includes the Konradsiedlung as well as parts of Wutzlhofen and the Brandlberg.

The church does not have its own cemetery. The parish members are therefore partly buried in the cemetery of Reinhausen , which actually belongs to the parish of St. Josef (Reinhausen) , as well as in the other Regensburg cemeteries. The All Saints 'Day and All Souls ' Day celebrations are also celebrated in the Reinhausen cemetery; the parishes alternate with the celebration or concelebration every year.

architecture

The preserved part of the church is a gable-independent hall building with a steep pitched roof, retracted choir with choir tower and double gables at the side in a grid construction . In the west, the newly designed reinforced concrete structure in the shape of a tent roof adjoins. The five gable walls are decorated with glass paintings based on designs by Erich Schickling . The people's altar is erected on the raised altar island at the interface with the historical building . The grouped arrangement of the pews allows worshipers to gather close to the altar. The former apse now houses the organ and the space for the church choir . The grown figurines from the old church were used again in the redesign.
