Hohenwart Monastery
The monastery Hohenwart is a former 1074 founded the Benedictine Abbey in Hohenwart in Bavaria in the diocese of Augsburg .
history
The monastery was founded in 1074 by Count Ortolf and his sister Wiltrudis from the so-called House of the Counts of Hohenwart . The monastery church was consecrated on May 13, 1074 by Bishop Embriko von Augsburg . This important family, which died out with the founders of the monastery, belonged to the so-called Rapotonen and was related to the neighboring Count House of Dießen and later of Andechs and Wolfratshausen.
The abbey was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . The monastery church was rededicated to the parish church of St. George . Since the monastery buildings could not find a buyer, the nuns could continue to live there. Since 1876 they have been owned by the Regens Wagner Foundation in Dillingen under the local management of the Dillinger Franciscan Sisters . Valuable witnesses have been preserved from the time of the Benedictine monastery: The Bavarian State Library in Munich holds a valuable gospel book , called the Golden Book of Hohenwart with writing from 1100 and miniatures from 1230, further 70 valuable books from Hohenwart Monastery.
The venerable Romanesque basilica fell victim to a fire in 1895. Even today point to the Romanesque structure: the Peterskapelle - built in 1230 as a donor's burial place - with the impressive Romanesque column, as well as the cloister and the Romanesque cellar vault. A special gem is the rococo-style monastery pharmacy (1739) with its filigree stucco ceiling, the figurative representations of which point to the monastic art of healing. The stucco relief showing Christ as the true apothecary is particularly interesting.
Today the regional center of the Regens Wagner Hohenwart disability aid is located in the former Benedictine monastery.
In Hohenwart, Schrobenhausen and Pfaffenhofen, around 11,000 people with various disabilities find broad, differentiated and regional support services from outpatient, semi-inpatient and inpatient offers for all ages and diverse life situations.
