The Öhningen monastery is a former Benedictine monastery and Augustinian canon monastery in Öhningen in the district of Constance .
history
According to an updated document from the 12th century, the Öhningen monastery was founded in 965 by Count Kuno as a Benedictine monastery. Augustinians can be identified as early as 1145, and from 1378 the monastery was continued as an Augustinian canon monastery through incorporation into the diocese of Constance. The abolition of the monastery took place in the years 1802 to 1805 as a result of the wave of secularization after the French Revolution by Napoleon .
A new building was reported as early as 1188. In 1516 the convent building was rebuilt. Prince-Bishop Jakob Fugger von Kirchberg had the collegiate church of St. Hippolyt and Verena rebuilt in the late Renaissance style from 1604 to 1626. Prince-Bishop Johannes Franz Vogt von Altensummerau and Praßberg (1645–1689) had the upper Vogthaus rebuilt after war damage. The organ builder Johann Christoph Albrecht from Waldshut was supposed to build a new organ in 1707 on behalf of Prince Bishop Johann Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg , but the plan was not carried out.
Current situation
The buildings and the church still exist today. The former collegiate church is now the Catholic parish church of St. Hippolyt and Verena. The former bailiwick of the monastery was extensively renovated in 2004 and now serves as the town hall.
coat of arms
The coat of arms is divided into four parts according to a preserved pane of a glass painting (probably by Hans Leu the Elder around 1520) and has the imperial orb in two diagonal fields and an eagle and two arms holding a key in the other two.
