The Catholic Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary in Deggendorf stands on truly historic ground: rising on the foundations of three of its predecessor churches, it is the spiritual center of the city's Catholic parish and its members. Located between Regensburg and Passau, in the small town of Deggendorf, the Parish of the Assumption of Mary looks back on almost a thousand years of history. Incorporating the previous, late-Gothic choir, the present church was built in the 17th century. After a devastating fire 100 years later, reconstruction had to begin again. Since another renovation in 1889, the magnificent church can be entered via a sweeping open staircase. Its interior exudes a bright atmosphere: artistic stucco work is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the large windows. An elaborate Rococo pulpit with numerous golden ornaments adds splendor to the Assumption of Mary, and the ceiling and wall paintings also contribute to the festive atmosphere. A relief depicting the Flight to Egypt, dating back to the 13th century, has been preserved from what was probably the first Romanesque church. Television has also discovered this wonderful atmosphere, broadcasting a ZDF television service from the parish church. https://www.reservix.de/deggendorf/venue/katholische-pfarrkirche-mariae-himmelfahrt/v14698
