The Franciscan Monastery Dingolfing is a monastery of the Franciscan Observants and today the Franciscan Minorites in Dingolfing in Bavaria.

history

A monastery consecrated to St. Oswald was founded in 1642 by the citizens of Dingolfing, initially as a hospice and later set up as an independent convent with a church. The monastery was located in the northeast area of ​​the Upper City. The tower of the St. Oswald monastery church, the Heiliggeistturm , used to be the landmark of the Upper Town of Dingolfing. The church was rebuilt between 1680 and 1682, and was consecrated on August 6, 1682. The Royal Bavarian Monument Preservation described this building on the basis of plans and sketches that have been preserved as a stately building with a retracted choir closed on three hexagonal sides . The plans for the building are said to have been made by Antonio Riva , who at least verifiably lived in Landshut at the time, so this seems possible.

The abolition during the secularization in Bavaria took place in 1802. The monastery church was demolished in 1804, the other monastery buildings were largely preserved. Private apartments and the Wasserburger Keller brewery restaurant were built in them . The street name Klosterhof still reminds of the former complex, whose crypt still exists and can now be visited as part of guided tours. In the appendix to his town history of Dingolfing (Figures 4a and 4b), Eberl provides a view and a floor plan of the submerged facility. Further plans and sketches are preserved in the archives. The choir stalls were re-positioned in the Dingolfing branch church and the infirmary church of St. Anton on the left of the Isar, where they are still located today.

The completely new construction of a Franciscan monastery (St. Clara with the Church of the Immaculate Conception) took place around 1853 at a new location outside the historic city walls south of the high bridge directly next to the baroque devotional church Flagellation of Christ . A separate monastery church was completed in 1867. The Franciscan monastery was dissolved again in 1972, and in 1975 the monastery complex was taken over by Poor Clares . In 2002 the resettlement of Polish Minorites took place.
