Parish Church of St. Martin

The Church of St. Martin is built on the Baderfelsen, a rocky plateau made of Jura limestone that rises about 30 m high on the right bank of the Black Laber, and is considered the town's landmark. The building is 33.70 m long; the height of the tower with its onion dome is 26 m.

The parish of Deuerling was incorporated into the monastery of St. George in Regensburg-Prüfening in 1281 through a donation from Duke Henry of Bavaria. The church was built under Abbot Georg Garhammer around 1450. A smaller Romanesque church on the bank of the Laber or on the rock can only be assumed. In 1717 the tower on the west side collapsed. The current one was built on the east side in 1718. In 1842 the nave was extended to include the current gallery. In 1954 the sacristy was added to the south side of the tower. From 1992 to 1998, the church underwent extensive renovations inside and out.

The interior is divided into the chancel with a groined vault and a window on each of the north and south walls. To the west, the nave is connected with a flat plaster ceiling without painting, surrounded by a cove. The walls are divided by three windows each.

Two smooth columns frame the tabernacle in the middle of the high altar with a crucifix niche and the Lamb of God above it. The middle is occupied by the canvas depicting St. Martin dividing his cloak, which dates from the 19th century. In the upper section there is a half-relief figure of God the Father on a globe, surrounded by three putti (the fourth was stolen). The altar widens with the two passage arches, on the arches sit two half-busts, on the left St. Catherine with the book, on the right St. Joseph with the lily staff.

The right side altar is dedicated to St. Sebastian. The altarpiece shows the martyrdom of St. Sebastian. In the excerpt above, the burning heart appears, symbol of the suffering love of Christ.

The left side altar shows the figure of the Mother of God with a harsh facial expression. She wears a hat crown on her head. In her left hand she holds a scepter, in her right hand the baby Jesus with a globe.

The pulpit hangs on the north wall and, like the altars, is marbled in light and dark red tones. The four evangelists are depicted on the pulpit. The sounding board bears the Holy Spirit dove on the underside, and is crowned by the Salvator Mundi figure.

The Roman Catholic, listed parish church of St. Martin is in Deuerling, a municipality in the district of Regensburg in the Upper Palatinate. The parish belongs to the deanery of Laaber in the diocese of Regensburg. The building is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments under monument number D-3-75-127-1.

The essentially Romanesque hall church was built in 1281. It was renovated in the 17th century, preserving the 14th-century gothic recessed rectangular chancel. The square steeple on the front wall of the chancel was renewed in 1717 after the dilapidated one collapsed during construction work. Its octagonal top floor houses the tower clock and the belfry. On top sits an onion dome. The nave was extended to the west in 1723/24 and covered with a gabled roof in the west.

The interior of the nave, in which a gallery was built in the west, is covered with a coved ceiling decorated with stucco. The choir has a cross vault on the inside. The church furnishings from around 1720 include the high altar, the side altars and the pulpit, whose panel paintings on the parapet show the four evangelists and which is crowned by Salvator Mundi. The baptismal font was built in 1499 from Adnet marble.
