Regensburg Cathedral (German: Dom St. Peter or Regensburger Dom), also known as St. Peter’s Cathedral, is an example of important Gothic architecture within the German state of Bavaria. It is a landmark for the city of Regensburg, Germany, and the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Regensburg.
Along with Cologne Cathedral, the cathedral is one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Germany. It was built as a successor to a Romanesque cathedral, of which a tower (donkey tower) has survived. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1275. From 1450 the building was covered and usable, but the two cathedral towers remained undeveloped for another 400 years without spires. The expansion of the two cathedral towers and the tower helmets only took place between 1859 and 1869.
For nearly 750 years, people have been coming together in Regensburg’s cathedral to pray, to celebrate religious services, and to find comfort and solace in the presence of God. The cathedral has been a World Heritage Site since 2006, as part of the ensemble “The Old City of Regensburg and Stadtamhof”. That same year, the cathedral was honoured with its first papal visit, when Pope Benedict XVI celebrated an ecumenical service. Benedict returned once more as Pope emeritus on June 21, 2020.

Order to remove all features that were not Gothic this included the dismantling of the Baroque pupila over the crossing and its replacement with rib vault Ing and Central Keystone the 19th century Nostalgia for the Middle Ages and the interpretation of Gothic as an ald or old German architectural style brought with it the
Desire to complete the cathedral the spires were erected between 1859 and 1869 under Bishop ignacius Von cestry with generous financial support from the Bavarian Kings lwig the first and maximilan II by 1872 the missing transcept Gable was finished and with this after 600 years the construction of the cathedral was brought to

The French Gothic of that time he chose an extremely physical powerful architecture which penetration uses mass and spatial plastic modeling as essential design elements in this way he succeeded in harmoniously connecting the older construction phase to the High Gothic style the architecture described seems to anticipate design styles that
Became widespread after the mid-4th century in this way this master builder was able to convince later generations and his plans were not changed until the interior was completed the most important Dimensions total length of the cathedral inside 85.4 M width inside 34.8 M height of the central Nave
