Regensburg, DE
Regensburg Cathedral was built from 1275 on a former Romanesque cathedral building which burned down twice in 1272 and 1273. The new cathedral is a masterpiece of the Gothic style, comparable to Cologne Cathedral. Moreover, like the latter, the cathedral was redecorated in the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century.
Monschau, DE
Reichenstein Monastery is a 12th-century Premonstratensian monastery on a rocky plateau at the mouth of the Rur River. It is only 7 km away from the resort village of Monschau.
Braunschweig, DE
Riddagshausen Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1145, with the mother abbey of Cîteaux in Burgundy as a natural model. After a good sixty years of construction, the monastery church was consecrated in 1275. The guardhouse (which today houses the Cistercian museum) was already built at the end of the 12th century, while the small chapel for foreigners next door was completed shortly before the monastery church. A century after the dissolution of the congregation with the rise of Protestantism, a preaching seminary was founded in the monastery in 1690. With the secularisation of Riddagshausen Monastery in 1809 during the Napoleonic occupation, the preaching seminary was closed. From 1856 to 1883, the abbey church was renovated, and from 1962 to 1975 further improvements and repaints were carried out.
Monschau, DE
Rinkberg Chapel (Rinkberg Kapellchen) stands on a small plateau, overlooking the picturesque village of Monschau in Germany.
Wangen im Allgäu, DE
The Rochus Chapel was built in 1592-93 by the town's master builder, Jerg Loßher, and dedicated to St. Rochus. The interior of the chapel consists of a lightly vaulted wooden ceiling with 66 painted panels dating from 1598.
Köln, DE
The Roonstraße Synagogue in Köln is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1899, restored in 1959. This Neo-Romanesque stone building still serves as a synagogue.
Rottenburg am Neckar, DE
St. Martin's Cathedral in Rottenburg am Neckar was built from a 13th-century chapel whose Romanesque tower still projects into the church's choir today. The town fire in 1644 necessitated a fundamental reconstruction, which was completed with the consecration of the church in 1655. In 1821, a diocese was founded for the kingdom of Württemberg, and Rottenburg, as the city with the highest Catholic population, was designated as the episcopal see.
Gladenbach, DE
The Protestant church of Rüchenbach is one of many half-timbered churches in the region. Built in the 15th century, it has been rebuilt several times.
Rühn, DE
The monastery church is a single-nave flat-roofed hall church and with late Romanesque style elements a typical brick building. It is probably from the 13th century.
Rühn, DE
Rühn Monastery is a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 13th century. It became a Protestant convent for ladies from 1567 to 1756. The monastery was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, but it was rebuilt and reintroduced to its function. In the 19th century, the monastery area became the private property of several noble families of Mecklenburg. After the Second World War, it was used as a shelter for war refugees, settlers and orphans. From 1950, a Jugendwerkhof (JWH) was established there, which was dissolved in 1991 and the buildings remained empty for almost 15 years. The monastery is now owned by an association.
