Mariä Himmelfahrt, Filial church and architectural heritage monument in Regensburg, Germany.

Mariä Himmelfahrt is a late-baroque hall church with a medieval core at Neyweg 2 in the Dechbetten district of Regensburg. Its pale yellow exterior is trimmed with white pilasters, and a north tower with a green onion dome and cross rises beside a steep red-tiled roof. Three tall arched windows line the side wall, while the front facade ends in a curved gable with a cross above an arched entrance and a round window. A low stone wall runs along the base.

Wolfgang Mohr, abbot of St. Emmeram, had the medieval predecessor rebuilt from 1722 to 1725; the church was consecrated in 1726. It served as a parish church until 1817, with Kumpfmühl, Pentling and Großprüfening among its districts. Emperor Ferdinand III visited on 22 December 1636, the day of his election as German king. Damaged in the Second World War, it was closed and reopened on 21 April 1974 by Vinzenz Guggenberger.

The pilgrimage to Dechbetten was especially popular in the Baroque era; Emperor Ferdinand III visited on 22 December 1636, the day of his election as German king. The cemetery wall with its portal dates from 1628 and carries epitaphs of the Prüfening painter family Gebhard from the 18th century. Buried here are the painters Johann Gebhard (1676–1756) and Otto Gebhard (1703–1773), the blacksmith and mayor Michael Hoferer (1820–1894) and the folk musician Lothar Bauer (1928–2018).

The church is located within the cemetery grounds and can be visited during standard opening hours. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time to examine the decorative details both inside and outside.

The organ, built in 1891 by Joseph Franz Bittner of Nuremberg as his Opus 46, has 11 stops on two manuals and pedal and retains its mechanical cone chests. Johann Baptist Ulrich, godfather of Max Reger, donated it in memory of his wife Jeanette, whose conversation during Reger's visit to Königswiesen helped persuade him to study under Hugo Riemann. It was inaugurated on 31 January 1892.
