St. Bonifaz, Kirchengebäude in Regensburg
St. Bonifaz is a parish church made of red brick in Regensburg, completed in 1970 with a distinctive round shape and cone-shaped wooden roof that covers the interior space. The circular interior spans about 30 meters across and is divided into 16 sections, while the church grounds also include a pastor's center, school building, youth rooms, and kindergarten all connected to the main structure.
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 church has a square bell tower about 21 meters tall holding four bronze bells cast in 1970 that ring at set times throughout the day, creating a gentle sound that marks time for the neighborhood. A remarkable treasure is a Romanesque Madonna from Catalonia dating to the 13th century that sits in the altar, bringing medieval artwork into this modern building.
