Talk:Regensburg

message: Some time ago I saw a volksmusik programme on one of the German television channels.
It was of people singing in various picturesque settings in Regensburg.
One female singer sang a song walking around the grounds of what may have been a Bishop's palace and there was a rather nice statue of a man (a medieval bishop?) feeding two geese.
Is anyone familiar with this please?  Is there a story associated with the statue?
If so, it might make a good addition to the page and, if possible, may be worthy of an illustration.

Hi!
I live in Regensburg, however I'm not familiar with such a statue. Are sure the film was taken on location in Regensburg?? (Michael.chlistalla 22:22, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: It says that Pope Benedict XVI has never been a resident of Regensburg while he taught theology at the University of Regensburg from 1969 to 1977. It's totally non-sense because if he taught there for 8 years, it means he actually lived there. Therefore, I suggest that this part of the article be revised.136.183.231.42 01:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He probably commuted. This site  claims he lived in Pentling, where he still owns a house. Chl 04:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Pentling is in Regensburg Landkreis. However this article is about the city itself, and not the Landkreis which is here Regensburg (district) so I think it is correct to say here that he did not live in Regensburg. Thehalfone 16:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I need some help here regarding the Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission. The factory/factories must have been outside town, as the site for the raid sugests heavy damage, while the site for Regensburg, the town, says that it escaped the war more or less unscathed. I'm way out of my field here. Can someone give a location for the factories relative to the town center and elaborate on Regensburg during the war. Other than the link I just added, there is no mention.4.249.186.40 01:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does Regensburg get twice as many keys as Bremen? 
   Sca (talk) 15:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The keys are the symbols of Saint Peter, patron of both the city of Regensburg and its cathedral. The same holds for the Coat of arms of Bremen, but according to :de:Simon Petrus, in the late Middle Ages Petrus was often depicted with two keys rather than one, symbolising both worldly and heavenly power. In this sense one might say, the difference means that Regensburg's coat of arms is younger than Bremen's. See also Keys of Heaven. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 18:20, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Austro-Bavarian name "Rengschburg" be removed and replaced by a IPA transcription? Austro-Bavarian does not have a codified spelling and the transliteration "Rengschburg" really only works for German readers. WRatzka (talk) 23:45, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

message: When was the town first named "Regensburg" ? --Lysytalk 15:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regensburg derived from Castra Regina, which dates to c 170AD (German wiki page for Regensburg). The local Celts then called the city Radasbona, which is the other name for the city. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 14:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: As far as I know the name Radasbona first appears in Arebo of Freising's "Vita et passio Sancti Haimhrammi Martyris" which was written in the 8th century. How can it be proofed that the name is in fact Celtic and predates the Roman names? It's never mentioned in Roman sources, they called it Regino or Castra Regina.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.13.248.42 (talk) 18:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I have removed this image from the Regensburg article because I strongly believe it has been incorrectly named as being of Joseph Hanisch (cathedral organist) when there is no evidence to support this assertion. I have also removed the illustration from the article on Hanisch. My concerns are outlined in the image's Discussion page on Wikimedia. I would like to be proved wrong, but believe the sensible approach is to not use the image until such time as some explanation or further evidence is forthcoming from the page creator , or elsewhere.
