The Carmelite convent house was a convent of the Carmelites in Sülmerstraße 74 in Heilbronn . The ruins of the war-damaged house were torn down in 1953.

history

The building, which was mentioned for the first time in 1487, served the friars of the Carmelite monastery outside the city limits as a convent. After the destruction of the Heilbronn Carmelite monastery in 1632, the house was again inhabited by the Carmelites, who had the building redesigned in the Baroque style between 1739 and 1743 .

In the last few years of its existence the building served as a women's college and as a city ​​library . Badly damaged in the war, work began on April 12, 1953 to demolish the ruins of the former convent house at Kirchhöfle 1, whereby the inscription panel with the historical data of the house was brought to the Historical Museum.

The convent building rested in the southern part on a wide, arched passage, which was supported by strong struts. This also served as a gate to get from Kirchhöfle to Sülmerstraße. The Wolff brothers recorded it in a lithograph.
