Kochel Monastery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kochel Monastery or Kochelsee Monastery is a former women's monastery of the Benedictine order in the municipality of Kochel am See in Bavaria.

history

The monastery was founded around 740 by the brothers Waldram, Eliland and Landfrid , Counts of Antdorf an der Loisach from the Huosi family , together with the Benediktbeuern monastery , where Landfrid became the first abbot, and six other monasteries (the male convents Schlehdorf , Seiferstetten , Sandau , Wessobrunn and the two women's monasteries Polling and Staffelsee ). As an indirect confirmation of the founding of the monastery around 740, an old document has been viewed, which says: " In Buren et Sledorf, Monachi, in Cochalone Sanctimoniales ..." ("In Bauarn and Schlehdorf monks, in Kochel nuns ..."). The three founders appointed her sister Gailsuinda as the first abbess in Kochel .

In the year 752 Gisela, the wife of Childerich III. , assigned to the monastery. She donated valuable manuscripts to the monastery. Around 788 Luitburga , Tassilo's wife , entered the Kochel monastery after the duke had been defeated by the Franks, deposed by Charlemagne and Bavaria had lost its independence. A few years before the death of Charlemagne, his sister Gisela († 810) is said to have lived in Kochel Monastery , who died there and was also buried. Gisela von Bayern is said to have found shelter as a nun in the monastery for a while .

The Kochel women's monastery was destroyed by the Hungarians in 908 (955 at the latest) and never completely rebuilt except for the church.
