Teutonic Order House St. Ägid

The Commandry of St. Ägid was founded in 1210 by Duke Ludwig I of Bavaria. This made it the first commandry of the Teutonic Order in Bavaria and the first bailiwick of the later Franconian Bailiwick. Its establishment was made possible by the donation of buildings from the former burgraves of Regensburg, which Duke Ludwig I had acquired after the extinction of the Babonen family. Over the centuries, the commandry acquired extensive possessions, including church patronages and manors, which secured its economic foundation. In the 13th century, the number of order brothers fluctuated between four and seven. In 1368, a 'Seelhaus' with eight nuns was established, serving the care of the poor and sick. A hospice is also documented from this time. The commandry survived the Reformation period but was dissolved in 1809.

The former Teutonic Order Commandry of St. Ägid is situated in the heart of the city of Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany, on the south side of today's Ägidienplatz.

Since 1978, the St. Josef retirement home has been housed in the historic premises of the former commandry. It is managed by the Deutschordenshaus Regensburg e. V. association, founded by members of the Teutonic Order Bailiwick "An der Donau". The St. Ägidien Church, which belonged to the commandry, now serves as a filial church of the St. Emmeram parish. The entire complex is protected as an architectural and archaeological monument.
