Canonical monastery Lindau
The Kanonissenstift Lindau is a former Kanonissenstift in Lindau (Lake Constance) in Bavaria in the Diocese of Augsburg .
history
The monastery consecrated to “Our Lady under the Linden trees” was founded by Count Adelbert von Rätien from the Burchardinger family around the year 822, but possibly also around 817. It is considered the original cell of the city of Lindau.
The history of the town of Lindau is closely linked to the Kanonissenstift , as the relocation of the monastery market from the mainland (from Aeschach ) to the island around 1079 formed the basis for the development of the town. In the 15th century, the abbess of the monastery achieved the dignity of secular imperial duchess.
While the town of Lindau became Protestant in 1528, thanks to the support of the emperor, the monastery remained with Catholic teaching. It was dissolved in 1802 in the course of secularization . The monastery fell to Prince Bretzenheim, who in 1804 exchanged Lindau for lands in Bohemia and Hungary. The district office was housed in the monastery building and the collegiate church, which partially burned down in 1922, was used as a Catholic parish church.
