The Neupfarrkirche - namesake of the same place - is not only the ancestral church of the Protestant-Lutheran community in Regensburg, it is also considered the starting point for the dissemination of the Protestant faith from the north to the countries of Southeastern Europe and the Balkans.

The Neupfarrkirche is also eponym of the eponymous square.

The square on which it stands is more significant than the actual church building and its architecture. Until 1519, the city's Jewish Quarter was located here. Repeated attempts to expel the Jewish population failed at that time due to the veto of Emperor Maximilian I. The protection money paid by Jewish citizens was an important source of income for the imperial court. When Maximilian died in 1519, the city council took advantage of the situation to promote the expulsion and demolition of the district. In order to avoid possible sanctions from a new emperor and to create a fait accompli, the construction of a Catholic pilgrimage church began on the site of the former synagogue. With the spread of the Reformation, the Catholic indulgences and pilgrimage system as a basis for financing collapsed and construction was stopped. When the city officially joined the Reformation in 1542, the construction was provisionally completed and inaugurated under the name Neupfarrkirche as the first and central evangelical church in Regensburg. Today's appearance was only completed in the 19th century. The tragic history of the former Jewish quarter and its synagogue is kept visible and honored by the Evangelical Lutheran community today.
