Carmelite Convent Erlangen
The Erlangen Carmelite Monastery (also known as the Trinity Carmelite Monastery and Erlangen-Büchenbach Monastery ) is a monastery of the Shoed Carmelites in Erlangen - Büchenbach that has existed since 1969 .
history
In 1949 seven Dutch Carmelites founded the Dreifaltigkeit Carmelite Monastery in the Schlüsselau Abbey near Bamberg, a Cistercian convent in Bavaria . This was relocated to a new building in Erlangen-Büchenbach in 1969 - only two years after the male friars had taken over pastoral care in the newly founded parish Heilig Kreuz in the Bruck district . The Carmel Trinity is based in Erlangen-Büchenbach to this day. In addition to the Carmel Mother of Good Advice in Duisburg , it is one of only two monasteries of the Shod Carmelites in Germany today.
description
The two-storey monastery is built in the form of an atrium around two inner courtyards .
The Sisters of Carmel live in strict enclosure and, according to the rule of the order, devote themselves mainly to contemplation . They earn their livelihood mainly through the wafer bakery and doing the church laundry for the surrounding parishes . Attendance of the daily Eucharistic celebration is open to all believers.
