Steinweg-Pfaffenstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steinweg-Pfaffenstein is the 03 district of Regensburg . The area was incorporated into the city of Regensburg on April 1, 1924.

Steinweg lies west of the confluence of the rain in the Danube and is now separated from Stadtamhof in the south by the European Canal . With Reinhausen on the opposite bank of rain Steinweg is connected by the Reinhauser bridge. A bridge connection has been documented here since 1194 . Steinweg used to be at the junction of the arterial roads from Regensburg to Nuremberg and Prague .

Trinity Church

Today the place is divided by the broad Frankenstrasse and the Europakanal. Steinweg was first mentioned in 1320 and was originally probably a winegrowing place . The city district is dominated by the Winzerer Heights and the Dreifaltigkeitsberg, which is popular because of the view of the city, and is followed by a Way of the Cross . On the Dreifaltigkeitsberg is since 1713 the Holy Trinity Church , which was built by Stadtamhof citizens to end the raging plague effect. The Bavarian artillery shot at the Swedish fortifications in front of Stadtamhof from this hill during the Thirty Years' War during the fighting for Regensburg . During the fifth coalition war , the Austrian artillery shelled the houses in Stadtamhof and the Stone Bridge during the Battle of Regensburg to prevent the French from advancing. Stadtamhof caught fire, which is still reminiscent of a neo-Gothic monument on the Österreicherweg .

Former Walhalla Railway

Until 1918, Steinweg was a stop on the narrow-gauge Walhalla Railway between Regensburg and Wörth on the Danube .
