Pope Benedict XVI in Regensburg

During his visit to Bavaria in September, Pope Benedict XVI spends two days and three nights in Regensburg - a millennium event and a special honor for the bishop's city on the Danube. Benedict's stay in Bavaria is not only the longest of his trip but also the most personal. It serves as a reminder of his years as a respected theologian at the young University of Regensburg, a retreat to his former residence in the suburban community of Pentling, and a time spent with his brother Georg and friends, to whom he will dedicate a whole and very private day. Last but not least, Pope Benedict visits the grave of his parents and sister in Regensburg. The book about the Regensburg visit highlights the private side of the stay and presents the major events in words and images, such as the grand mass at the papal meadow and the academic celebration.
