Kollegiatstift St. Johannes Baptist, Regensburg

The foundation of St. John's Abbey took place in 1127, presumably by Bishop Konrad I of Regensburg, initially as an Augustinian canons' monastery. This early phase lasted until around 1290, before the abbey was transformed into a collegiate church. In the 13th century, the adherence to the Augustinian Rule loosened, and around 1290, the communal life as an order was abandoned. However, the abbey continued to exist as a collegiate church, whose constitution was strongly based on that of the Collegiate Church of the Old Chapel. It survived the secularization of 1803 and Regensburg's transition to Bavaria in 1810, making it one of only four collegiate churches in Bavaria that continue to exist today. King Ludwig I confirmed the abbey's existence in 1826.

The Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist is centrally located in the city of Regensburg, in the state of Bavaria, Germany.

The Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist continues to exist at its original location. The current statutes from 1976 emphasize common choral prayer and daily convent mass, commemorating the benefactors of the abbey. The canons also provide pastoral assistance and manage the abbey's assets. A prominent member was Georg Ratzinger, the brother of Pope Benedict XVI.
