St. Bonifaz, A church building in Regensburg.
St. Bonifaz is a parish church built in 1970 by the Oberberger architectural firm at the corner of Killermannstraße and Roter-Brach-Weg in Regensburg's western district. The cylindrical church of red-brown facing brick has a sixteen-sided interior 30 meters in diameter, covered by a tent roof of wooden panels in 16 fields. A ring of covered walkways surrounds it, and the complex includes the parish center, rectory, parish hall, youth rooms and kindergarten.
The church was built after World War Two when population growth in western Regensburg created the need for a new parish church to serve the expanding community. Designed by the Oberberger architecture firm, the building was completed in 1970 and consecrated by Bishop Rudolf Graber on June 6 of that year.
St. Bonifaz is named after Saint Boniface and serves the local parish as a gathering place for worship and community events. The red brick building has become a familiar landmark in Regensburg's western district where residents gather for celebrations and important moments in their lives.
The church is located at the corner of Killermannstraße and Roter-Brach-Weg in western Regensburg with easy access and a walking path around the building. Visitors can enter during regular service times to view the interior and find quiet spaces for reflection, with level ground making it accessible to most people.
The square brick bell tower stands 21 meters tall and holds four bells cast in 1970 by Rudolf Perner of Passau, tuned d', f', g' and b' to form an ideal quartet. Inside, the Marienkapelle keeps a Catalan-Romanesque Madonna with Child from the 13th century.
