Regensburg appears in the Notitia Dignitatum as castra Regina (occ., 35, 17), although its earlier name could have been Reginum or maybe just Legion.
However, the later name of the town was just Regens-Burg (fortress at the river Regen). I do not know too much about place names in Germany, but place like -Kaster/-Kester etc. seem to be very rare here.
XXX-Burg place names are frequent, though.
Maybe that helps
