Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Ratisbonne, Benedictine monastery in Regensburg, Germany

Weih Sankt Peter was a small Benedictine monastery founded around 1070 outside Regensburg's Arnulfine city wall, on ground north of today's main railway station. Nothing of its buildings survives: the complex was demolished in 1552 before the Schmalkaldic War so that enemy troops would find no cover outside the wall, and all remains were cleared.

Irish monk Marianus Scottus founded the monastery around 1070, drawing many fellow monks from Ireland to Regensburg. The monastery remained active for centuries until its buildings were demolished in 1552.

The monastery's memory survives in local names: Petersweg, Peterstor (formerly Weih-St.-Peters-Tor), Peterskirchlein and the former Petersfriedhof. The priory remained subject to the Scottish monastery of St. Jakob, and the abbess of Obermünster appointed its prior from St. Jakob. Its Irish period ended in 1515, after which Scottish priors led the community until 1552.

Nothing of the monastery itself survives; the site lay north of today's Regensburg Hauptbahnhof, outside the former Arnulfine city wall. Look for the names Petersweg, Peterstor (once Weih-St.-Peters-Tor), Peterskirchlein and the former Petersfriedhof, which keep the memory of the complex alive.

Founder Marianus Scottus reportedly chose the monastery's location after a dream in which he saw a small church dedicated to Saint Peter. This legend reveals how spiritual visions guided the decisions of the early monks.
