from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Michael in Burgweinting

The listed Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael is a side church in Obertraublinger Straße 20 in the Burgweinting district of the city of Regensburg , ( Bavaria ).

history

A herringbone masonry can be found on the choir wall of the nave , which points to the construction in the 12th century. The church is first mentioned in a chronicle in 1438. The Gothic choir, closed in five octagonal sides, dates from the first half of the 15th century. In the Thirty Years War the church was almost completely destroyed. In 1657 the tower collapsed and the upper floors of the tower were renewed. In the 18th century the church was baroque. In 1793 the church was damaged by lightning. In 1835 the church was renovated. Around 1909, a Lourdes grotto was added by converting the All Souls House . In 1959 the church was renovated inside and outside. The neo-Romanesque altars from 1890 were also replaced by "contemporary" ones. In 1983 there was another exterior renovation and in 1985 an interior renovation.

The former main church of the village of Burgweinting had become too small for the Regensburg district, which had been growing rapidly since the 1990s, which is why the new main church of St. Francis , inaugurated in May 2004, was built in the vicinity .

Structure and equipment

The Catholic side church of St. Michael is a hall building with a Romanesque gable-independent core with a retracted choir and choir flank tower with an onion dome.

The late Baroque pulpit dates from 1720 and is the only remaining piece of equipment from the Baroque period. Juliane Engelbrecht's grave is located under the Joseph Altar .

Eduard Hirnschrodt replaced a previous organ in 1947, sometimes using old parts from other origins. The two-manual , pneumatic brainscrew organ had 13  registers on a cone chest . This was again by a zehnregistrige, two-manual pipe organ with slider chests the company Georg Jann from Allkofen ( Lower Bavaria replaced).
