history

From 1618 to 1623 there was a Jesuit station in Monheim in the Palatinate-Neuburg region . In the course of the re-Catholicization of the Palatinate under Elector Wilhelm, two to three Jesuit Fathers from Eichstätt, including a Father Augustin, worked here. The Jesuits initially gave three sermons and two catecheses a week ; a priest visited the surrounding villages almost every day. In the first year of their work, 1,200 " converts " were counted in Monheim ; "Only four to five stubborn", as the sources say, had to emigrate.
