St. Theresia (Regensburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Theresa

St. Theresia is the former monastery church of the Discalced Carmelites and today's side church of the parish of St. Wolfgang, with the former monastery and seminar building on the corner of Kumpfmühler Strasse and Gutenbergstrasse in the Kumpfmühl district of Regensburg .

building

The neo-baroque church with a 45-meter-high steeple was built in 1900 according to plans by the Regensburg architect Philipp Krämer, on a plot of land acquired by the Carmelites in Kumpfmühl in 1851, based on the shape of the mother church of St. Josef , on the Alter Kornmarkt . To the east of the church is a building that was previously used as a boys' seminary until this facility was closed in 1975. The former monastery building stands north of the church and was used by the Carmelites until 1987. The church stands, characteristic of Carmelite churches, on a pedestal, which makes it appear elevated. The Vitusbach flows through the monastery property with the monastery pond.

history

Laying of the foundation stone in 1899

On March 15, 1899, the population was informed about the planned construction on the front page of the Regensburg Gazette in an article along with a design drawing. Work on building the church began after the foundation stone was laid on August 26, 1899. The construction work was the responsibility of the builder Alois Janker. After his sudden death, Anton Mayer took over his job. After a construction period of only one year, which was short by the standards at the time, the church was built by Ignatius of Senestrey in honor of St. Teresa of Ávila inaugurated on August 27, 1900. In 1902 the clock tower and the organ were installed. The interior of the church was initially only whitewashed. In 1911 the church painter Johann Böckl was commissioned to carry out a rich painting in the neo-baroque style, which was completed in 1911. This was completely lost in the course of the war-related restoration from 1948, except for the ceiling fresco. In 1913 the high altar, made of Kufstein marble, was completed and in 1917 the Theresa picture was attached. The vestibule of the church was totally destroyed by bombs on December 28, 1944, and the west side of the church was badly damaged. The boys' college was a victim of the bombs after the air raid on April 16, 1945. The church was repaired in 1945, but the vestibule was no longer rebuilt. In 1949 the church was renovated to remove as much of the war damage as possible. This work could only be completed in 1956.
