One of the most interesting historic churches we visited recently in Regensburg is that St. Emmeram, a Basilica minor located at Emmeramsplatz next to the Thurn and Taxis Palace.

The church history dates back to 780AD and is considered a National Shrine in Bavaria. There are quite a few interesting things to see at St. Emmeram. The church is a mixture of Romanesque and Baroque architecture.

The main portion of the church nave dates back to the 8th-century but was given a High Baroque makeover by the regionally important Bavarian architects Asam Brothers in the early 18th-century. The high altar, pulpit, ceiling fresco and numerous decorations with gilding create a beautiful interior. There is a 11th-century crypt with important tombs in the back that is worth a quick visit.

Given the church age, its worth reading up on its history before or during your visit. This will help create context to what you are seeing at St. Emmeram Basilica...

Der Gebäudekomplex der Benediktinerabtei St. Emmeram ist die größte vor- und frühromanische Klosteranlage nördlich der Alpen. Aus der Georgskirche mit der Grabstätte des heiligen Emmeram, einem fränkischen Wanderbischof des 7. Jhs., und des Diözesanpatrons Wolfgang hervorgegangen, stammt sie im Kern aus dem 8. bis 10. Jh. Ab 972 war St. Emmeram reichsklösterlich und bildete bis in das 16. Jh. und wieder ab dem 17. Jh. den religiösen, wissenschaftlichen und kulturellen Mittelpunkt Regensburgs, bis es nach der Säkularisierung an das Fürstenhaus Thurn und Taxis überging. Die heutige Pfarrkirche besitzt die Form einer karolingischen, im 18. Jh. barockisierten Pfeilerbasilika mit einem freistehenden renaissancezeitlichen Glockenturm aus den 1570er Jahren. Die hinter der mit Arkadengliederungen verzierten frühgotischen Portalwand von ca. 1250 über den begrünten Hof zugängliche romanische Vorhalle aus der Mitte des 12. Jhs. besticht mit einem Doppelnischenportal und Großplastiken aus dem 11. Jh., den ältesten erhaltenen Portalskulpturen nördlich der Alpen. Der Innenraum der Klosterkirche ist in ein spätbarockes Langhaus mit einem monumentalen Deckengemälde sowie ein romanisches Westquerhaus mit einer bemalten Holzdecke gegliedert. An den Wänden erinnern Grabmale und Statuen von Personen der Klostergeschichte an die lange Tradition der Abtei und tragen zu der einzigartigen Atmosphäre des ehemaligen...

An ancient, very beautiful and worth seeing basilica, away from mass tourism, built around 780 as the church of St. Emmeram, during the following centuries it was expanded and made a princely abbey in 1731. In 1964 it was finally elevated to the status of a “minor basilica” by Pope Paul VI. Beautifully designed inside, definitely...

Очень неприметное снаружи и сильно впечатляющее внутри, особенно старая церковь. Необычный вход, древние каменные фрески и очень богатое и древнее убранство. Свою историю начинает в 8 веке как монастырь бенедектинцев, основан он был на месте захоронения святого Эммерама. До 975 года эпископы Регенсбурга были его настоятелями. А в 1295 году аббатство получило особый имперский статус и прямое подчинение императору. В 1803 году Регенсбург был лишен статуса имперского города и передан Баварии. Вместе с ним потерял независимый статус и монастырь Святого Эммерама. Вскоре, все сокровища монастыря были перевезены в Мюнхенскую королевскую резиденцию династии Виттельсбахов, а ценные книги и рукописи - в Баварскую библиотеку в Мюнхене, где они хранятся и сейчас. В 1812 году монастырские помещения перешли в собственность одного из самых богатых и влиятельных семейств Германии Турн-и-Таксис, которые сделали здание монастыря одной их своих резиденций. Сейчас это фамильный замок семьи Турн-и-Таксис.
