The Gothic Holy Sepulchre Church of St. Peter and Paul is located in the heart of the historic old town on Luitpoldplatz. The building was built in the second half of the 14th century, between 1338 and 1360. At that time, Deggendorf still belonged to the Duchy of Lower Bavaria-Straubing-Holland. The church is one of the few Gothic vaulted basilicas in Old Bavaria. The dimly lit lay room, with a view of the choir brightly lit by large windows, is an oasis of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy old town. The tower, completed in 1727, is considered one of the most beautiful Baroque towers in southern Germany and, with its height of 75 meters, dominates Deggendorf's townscape. It was built by Johann Michael Fischer, who likely based his work on a design by his brother-in-law, Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. The church was built with the money of the Deggendorf Jews murdered in a pogrom in 1338. Decades later, the legend of a Jewish desecration of the host was invented to justify this bloody deed. The supposedly undamaged hosts were celebrated for many centuries as "host miracles" on a so-called "grace" pilgrimage. This anti-Jewish pilgrimage was only discontinued in 1992. A plaque on the church wall asking for forgiveness for the injustice inflicted on the Jews testifies to the new attitude of the Catholic Church and the people of Deggendorf toward this dark chapter in their history. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1079637

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
