The Beuerberg Abbey is a former Augustinian Canons - Abbey and Monastery of the Salesian Sisters in the village of Beuerberg , a part of the municipality of Eurasburg in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . The monastery is best known for its former monastery church of St. Peter and Paul and, since 2016, for changing exhibitions on monastery life.

history

The monastery, consecrated to St. Peter and Paul , was founded in 1121 by the brothers Otto, Eberhard and Conrad, Counts of Iringsburg (Eurasburg), as a regulated monastery and staffed by Augustinian canons. On March 30th of this year it received the corresponding papal confirmation bull .

When the monastery got into pressing debts, those responsible were transferred to other places after a provost election ordered by the duke on November 23, 1557. The monastery had a three-aisled basilica until the Thirty Years War . When trying to redesign it on November 13, 1628, the whole building collapsed with the exception of the high altar.

The collegiate church was then rebuilt from 1630 to 1635 by master builder Isaak Bader based on the model of Michael’s Church in Munich . The upper parts of the tower were built after 1659. In 1729 the monastery buildings were rebuilt.

The Augustinian Canons' Monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . 539 books and manuscripts came to the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek , 439 books to the university library . The monastery church became a parish church.

Johann Karl von Arnhard, businessman and councilor of Munich, bought the monastery buildings including the Maierhof and the hospital. In 1821 Franz Freiherr von Maderny became the sole owner. In 1835 the Salesians (sisters of the Visitation of Mary) came to Beuerberg. Between 1846 and 1938 a girls' school and a maternal convalescent home were housed there, and later a rest home for the elderly.

The monastery was abandoned after the last superior, Sister M. Innocentia (Gertraud) Donius, died on December 22, 2013. The last 14 sisters still living there were bid farewell on May 5, 2014 with a church service and moved to old people's homes of the Franciscans and Sisters of Charity. The system was taken over by the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in October 2014, which has not yet decided on one of several options for further use. The renovation of the Josefsflügel, part of the facility, began in November 2015, with the aim of using it as refugee accommodation from autumn 2016. Other parts of the building are to be used by church organizations and the community.

Use as an exhibition space

Since 2016 the monastery has been used by the Diocesan Museum of the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising for special exhibitions.
