Benedictine monastery Trier-Kürenz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Benedictine convent Trier-Kürenz (also: Kloster Bethanien ) has been a monastery of the Benedictine Sisters of the Holy Sacrament in Trier in Rhineland-Palatinate since 1854 .

history

The French Benedictine monastery of Saint-Nicolas-du-Port founded a privately donated women's monastery in 1854 at the invitation of Bishop Wilhelm Arnoldi in today's Gartenfeldstrasse (No. 22), which was elevated to an independent priory in 1869 . From 1875 to 1888 the sisters moved to Bettembourg because of the culture war and in 1883 to Peppingen (now part of Roeser ) in Luxemburg . Then some returned to Trier. The monastery was now called Bethanien (after the biblical Bethanien ). Since the Bethanien Monastery was hampered by the railway construction that had taken place in the meantime, it moved to Trier-Kürenz in 1922 , where it still exists today at Domainstrasse 98. The convent, which has eight nuns, operates host bakery and parament embroidery.
