Edith Stein Carmel
The Edith-Stein-Karmel was a monastery of the Discalced Carmelites in Tübingen . On December 3, 1978, the Bishop of Rottenburg-Stuttgart , Georg Moser , signed the founding document of the Edith-Stein-Carmel. The villa, in which the former monastery was located, is not far from the old town in the Neckarhalde high above the Neckar . The Carmel was placed under the patronage of Edith Steins , a holy Carmelite and martyr . Since the convent consisted of only two sisters in 2011, the convent was closed.
History and Development

The Carmelites belong to the order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, which was founded around the year 1150 on the Carmel Mountains in today's Israel and originates from the tradition of hermitism . The Teresian Carmel is a branch of reform that emerged in 1568 from a renewal movement of the Spanish saints Teresa of Avila (1515–1582) and John of the Cross (1542–1591). They tried to return the Carmel to its sources and to develop it further.
The Discalced Carmelites lead a contemplative life in the cloister of the monastery. According to the tradition of Carmel, the sisters hold inner prayer for one hour each morning and evening. The common prayer of the hours , the daily celebration of Holy Mass , the work that is carried out, if possible, in silence and in the cell , and the daily common recreation of the convent are the essential elements of life according to the Carmelite Rule .
The stained glass windows in the monastery chapel were made by Sieger Köder . On December 3, 2008, the order officer of the diocese, Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Maria Renz , celebrated the Holy Mass to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Edith Stein Carmel.
