Life

In 1963 Schellenberger passed his Abitur at the Friedrich-Eugens-Gymnasium in Stuttgart . Four weeks later he entered the novitiate of the Franciscans (OFM) in Dietfurt . 1964–1966 he studied philosophy in Munich until he transferred to the Trappist Mariawald Abbey in Heimbach , North Rhine-Westphalia . After the two-year novitiate there, he studied monastic theology in 1968-69 in the French Abbey of Mont des Cats . From 1969–72 he continued his theology studies at the universities of Salzburg and Freiburg and graduated with a diploma. In 1972 he was ordained a priest . In 1975 he was appointed prior and novice master of the Mariawald Abbey. Since 1978 he has also worked as a book author and translator; the first work he had translated came from the well-known priest and psychologist Henri Nouwen and bears the original title: The Genesee Diary - Report from a Trappist Monastery. He chose the German title: I listened to the silence. Seven months in the Trappist monastery. Further translations of writings by Nouwen, Richard Rohr and many other American, French and Irish authors followed. The subjects of the translated works became increasingly broader and included articles on Zen meditation, Jewish mysticism , church history , dealing with illness, strengthening health, family issues, the Enneagram and social criticism .

In 1981, Bernardin Schellenberger left the Mariawald Abbey with some other confreres and began his own monastery-like community life in an empty rectory in Donzdorf . However, the attempt failed. He spent the years 1982/1983 in the Trappist Genesee Abbey in Genesee County in the US state of New York . In 1983 Schellenberger returned to Donzdorf and worked there as a freelance writer. Since 1988 he has lived in Togo for a while and dedicated himself to helping people in Africa. In 1991 he married and worked as a househusband, writer and translator. In 1998 the marriage was divorced again. Today Schellenberger lives and works as a freelance writer and translator in Bad Tölz in Upper Bavaria . Since 1995 he has also made local and regional history contributions to his home in Württemberg and has written about Winzingen and Ottenbach near Göppingen .
