history

City Theater Lindau in the monastery church

In 1224, Abbess Offemia von Pflegelberg founded the Franciscan monastery in Lindau. Since 1239 it belonged to the Upper German (Strasbourg) Province of the Order ( Kustodie Bodensee). In the 14th century the monastery joined the Franciscan Observant Movement . In 1528 the monastery, from whose ranks the first Reformation preacher in Lindau came, was closed.

The books in the monastery library ended up in the Lindau Imperial City Library , which was founded in 1538 . The former monastery church now houses the Lindau City Theater, which was first played in 1887 and reopened on May 19, 1951 with Mozart's “ Marriage of Figaro ”.
