The nunnery in Friedenweiler auf der Baar, founded (after) 1123, dissolved 1802/08, was a priory of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Georgen in the Black Forest until the 16th century , from the middle of the 16th century it belonged to the Cistercian order.

history

At the beginning of the history of the women's monastery in Friedenweiler auf der Baar, there is a gathering of clerical and secular greats. What is meant is the magnus conventus when the bones of the holy bishop Konrad (I., 935–975) were raised in Constance (November 26, 1123). This is where dukes and counts, abbots and bishops met. And so the festive and political framework was given for an exchange of goods between the monasteries of St. Georgen and Reichenau . St. Georgen under his abbot Werner I (1119–1134) received the place Friedenweiler as part of this exchange, which, moreover, many greats testified.

After 1123, i.e. after the exchange of goods, and before April 14, 1139, the date of issue of the papal document of Innocent II (1130–1143) for St. Georgen, a convent must have been built in Friedenweiler. In the papal privilege, the Friedenweiler monastery cell is mentioned in the course of the confirmation of ownership for St. Georgen. Obviously, the cell must have been a monastery subordinate to St. Georgen, and in the following period, i. H. mainly and first in the 13th and 14th centuries, a community of Benedictine women subordinate to the St. George Abbot under the direction of a magistra ("master") visible. The priory and the spiritual umbrella lay with the Black Forest monastery and its abbot. The change in the Friedenweiler Vogtei , which was held by the Zähringer until 1218 , and by the Counts of Fürstenberg since 1270 at the latest , did not change anything .

In 1570, at the request of Count Heinrich VII von Fürstenberg, Cistercian women from the Lichtenthal monastery moved into the vacant monastery. In 1578 the claims of the St. Georgen monk community to the community on the Baar had expired. Connections to the Tennenbach Monastery were established . In 1591, Amalia Rennerin, a nun from the monastery, was appointed abbess of the Maria Hof monastery in Neudingen , which, like Friedenweiler, had been revitalized by nuns from the Lichtenthal monastery.

In 1802, Friedenweiler was secularized and passed to the Fürstenbergers, who used it as Friedenweiler Castle. From 1922 to 1983 the children's sanatorium Schloss Friedenweiler was located here . It has been used as a retirement and nursing home since 1989. Built in the 16th century and after the major fire on 27 March 1725 by Peter Thumb in the interior in the style of Baroque redesigned monastery church is now the parish church. Noteworthy is the high altar, a gift from the St. Georgen Abbey in Villingen , which existed until 1810 , with the central image of the Assumption by Georg Samuel Schilling .

The Friedenweiler Priory was also closely connected to the medieval clearing processes in the south-eastern Black Forest .
