history

The pilgrimage church Mariahilf dates from the beginning of the 17th century. From 1631 Capuchins took over the pilgrimage pastoral care from the immediately neighboring hospice and from the Passau Innstadtkloster founded in 1616. The monastery initially belonged to the Austrian province of the order. In 1676, Emperor Leopold I donated the so-called Kaiserampel , a valuable goldsmith's work by Lukas Lang from Augsburg. The secularization brought in 1803 the resolution of the Capuchin monasteries in the Innstadt and on Mariahilfberg and the broad halt the pilgrimage. The church in the city center was demolished in 1810. The Innstadt brewery was built on the site. In the course of the restoration , more frequent pilgrimages to the Mariahilfberg were allowed again and a pilgrimage priests' convict was established in 1831. The Capuchins returned in 1890. The church is still an important place of pilgrimage today. In autumn 2002, Pauliner took over the pilgrimage church as the successor to the Capuchins.
