St. Theresia, Architectural heritage monument in Kumpfmühl district, Regensburg, Germany
St. Theresia is a church building with a 45-meter tower topped by an octagonal dome and designed in neo-baroque style. The interior features a single-nave vaulted structure and houses original artistic furnishings from the early 20th century.
Construction started in May 1899 under architect Philipp von Kremer and was completed in 1900, initially serving as a convent church for the Discalced Carmelites. It shaped the religious life of the Kumpfmühl district for many decades afterward.
The interior displays ceiling frescoes painted by Johann Böckl in 1911 and altarpieces including a depiction of Therese of Avila by Martin von Feuerstein. These artworks shape the character of the church space and reflect the craftsmanship that went into furnishing it.
The church is located at the intersection of Kumpfmühler Straße and Gutenbergstraße and is easy to reach. Visitors should note that the building has been privately owned since October 2023, which may affect visiting hours or require advance arrangements.
Three bells cast in 1900 still remain in the tower structure and represent an important testimony to the original furnishings. The Binder & Siemann organ from 1902, by contrast, was relocated following recent changes and no longer stands in its original location.
