Franciscan monastery Bamberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Franciscan Monastery of Bamberg is a former monastery of the Franciscan Observants in Bamberg in Bavaria in the diocese of Bamberg .

history

The building, which formerly belonged to the Order of the Templars , which was dissolved in 1311, was taken over by the Franciscans, who can be traced back to Bamberg in 1223 - presumably in the north of the city near the huts. They worked as pastors for the population and the convent of the Poor Clares , they were also known as preachers in Bamberg - mainly at the Liebfrauenkirche - and in the surrounding area. Due to the popularity of the Franciscans, the monastery, which belonged to the Upper German or Strasbourg Province ( Provincia Argentina ), achieved a certain level of prosperity, so that the reform movement of the Observance in the 15th century in Bamberg's Franciscan Monastery could only be implemented with difficulty and against the resistance of several religious . One of the most famous Bamberg Franciscans was Stephan Fridolin from around 1460 to around 1475 .

On August 17, 1716, Prince-Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn granted permission for a new convent building and on February 5, 1717 granted an alms patent. The foundation stone was laid on September 1, 1718. The building was inaugurated in 1719 by Provincial Father Nathanael Scheffer.

In the course of secularization in 1806, the monastery, which had been transferred to the Bavarian Franciscan Province in 1625 with the other monasteries of the Bavarian Custody , was dissolved and the church was demolished in 1810/1811.

The monastery buildings then served as barracks, police station, poor institute and district court. After renovations in 1976, government offices moved into the building in 1991.

The Franciscans of the Bavarian Franciscan Province returned to Bamberg in 1852 and took over the St. Jakob Collegiate Monastery , where they stayed until September 7, 1981. From 1929 to 1999 there was also a monastery at the parish church of St. Heinrich .
