document Neupfarrplatz: Regensburg City History Under the Surface
On November 5, 2026, the event document Neupfarrplatz will take participants into the multifaceted history of one of the most significant squares in Regensburg's old town. Between Roman antiquity, the medieval Jewish quarter, the Neupfarrkirche, and relics from the 20th century, city history becomes tangible at the historical site.
Archaeological Traces of a Two-Thousand-Year-Old City
The Neupfarrplatz preserves evidence from nearly 2,000 years of Regensburg's development. Visible artifacts include wall sections and remains of a tiled floor from Roman times. They belonged to a repeatedly modified building that served as the residence of a high-ranking officer located along the main road of the Roman camp, the via principalis.
Jewish Heritage and Medieval City History
A special focus is placed on the preserved spaces of the medieval Jewish quarter. Three historical cellar rooms as well as the foundations of the former synagogue hint at Regensburg's Jewish history and offer an intense examination of work at the authentic site. The archaeological findings connect with the question of how memory, destruction, and cultural heritage remain visible within the urban space.
Architecture, Memory, and Multimedia Mediation
The foundations of the Neupfarrkirche, which was built after the destruction of the synagogue, are at the center of an exhibition that links archaeology, architecture, and historical documentation. Additional finds and a multimedia presentation make the different layers of time vivid and promote cultural education through direct encounters with the relics.
A Guided Tour with Historical Depth
The two-hour guided tour begins at 5:00 PM at the stairway at the northeast corner of the Neupfarrkirche. Led by Matthias Freitag M. A., a concentrated artistic experience unfolds between urban space, exhibition atmosphere, and archaeological research. An air raid shelter from World War II is also among the historical traces documented by the document Neupfarrplatz.
Conclusion: History Comes Alive at the Original Site
The document Neupfarrplatz combines archaeological exhibition, city tour, and historical memory into an impressive aesthetic experience. Those who want to understand Regensburg not only as a medieval UNESCO World Heritage city but as a multifaceted space of remembrance will experience history in its materials, layers, and fractures. The visit is recommended for anyone who wants to discover historical places in depth and with expertise.
