Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Catholic church in northeastern Regensburg, Germany.
The Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a Catholic church at Isarstraße 54 in northeastern Regensburg, built from 1971 to 1972 as a community centre with church, hall and parish flat. The church has a pyramid-shaped roof, and a freestanding bell tower with dark louvered panels and a gold cross was added in 1980. Inside, Willi Ulfig's windows in red and blue show the Pentecost miracle, and the benches are arranged in a semicircle around the raised altar island.
On 1 September 1969 the area was separated from St. Josef Reinhausen and chaplain Karl Heidingsfelder was charged with founding the new parish; services were held in the hall of the Flurbereinigungsdirektion from 11 January 1970. Karl Flügel laid the foundation stone on 17 October 1971, and Rudolf Graber consecrated the church on 14 May 1972. The freestanding tower, built to Otto Rausch's plan, was finished in October 1973, and the four bronze bells cast by Rudolf Perner were blessed on 11 October 1980.
The parish was split from St. Josef Reinhausen on 1 September 1969, and services were first held on 11 January 1970 in the hall of the Flurbereinigungsdirektion. The name refers to Pentecost, which the windows by Willi Ulfig depict in red and blue. The church forms a pastoral unit with St. Michael Regensburg-Keilberg.
The complex is easy to locate with its distinctive pyramid roof and separate bell tower serving as clear landmarks. The site includes a community hall and parish residence alongside the main church building, creating a spacious religious campus.
The four bronze bells were cast by Rudolf Perner on 27 June 1980, blessed by Karl Flügel on 11 October and first rung on 18 October during a candlelit procession. The free-standing tower that carries them was built only from 21 March onward, following Otto Rausch's plan, and finished that October.
