Benedictine convent Ottmarsheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Benedictine monastery Ottmarsheim (also: Monastère Sainte-Anne ) was a women's monastery from 1848 to 2004 (since the 20th century the Benedictine Sisters of the Holy Sacrament ) in Ottmarsheim in the Haut-Rhin department in France. The monastery is not to be confused with the former Benedictine abbey Ottmarsheim .

history

Swiss Benedictine nuns, who were expelled there, settled in Ottmarsheim next to the former abbey church in Ottmarsheim in 1848 with local private help and built a monastery building, as well as the Anna chapel in 1867, which was equipped with a romantic organ by Georg Stahlhuth in 1912 and artistically by Notker Becker from 1930 was designed (under monument protection). At the beginning of the 20th century, the convent was attached to the Benedictine Sisters of the Holy Sacrament. From 1939 to 1945 the nuns had to vacate their convent and were accommodated in the Benedictine convent in Rosheim , which took over the supervision of the returned convent from 1946. The increasing decline in vocations meant that the sisters gradually left their buildings to the Congregation Serviteurs de Jésus et de Marie from 1991 and finally gave up in 2004. Since then, the monastery has been called Prieuré Saint Bernard (Rue du Couvent 3).
