Dreieinigkeitskirche
Dreieinigkeitskirche rises in Germany with solid corner stones that give its early Baroque exterior a fortress-like character. Hanns Carl designed the church as a broad hall without a single supporting column.
Built between 1627 and 1631 during the Thirty Years’ War, it holds more than 1,000 worshippers. Every seat once offered a clear view of the altar and pulpit, thanks to galleries fixed to the outer walls. Above, a wooden barrel vault hangs from the roof beams, while hollow ribs made from textile and glue keep the ceiling light. The south churchyard preserves the memory of Austrian and Bohemian Protestant exiles, alongside a Swedish officer killed in battle.
Look for the Regensburg coat of arms, with its crossed keys, above the doors and inside. Princess Therese of Thurn and Taxis had her own oratory beneath the organ gallery. The tower leads your gaze across the city rooftops.
