The monastery Neustift is a former abbey of the Norbertine in Freising in Bavaria in the diocese of Freising . The monastery is located in the Neustift district of the same name .

history

It was founded in 1142 by Bishop Otto I von Freising with the support of the Margraves of Austria . First provost, the monastery was elevated to an abbey in 1717. The monastery area was a Hofmark and had lower jurisdiction. As an exclave - it was almost completely enclosed by the territory of the Hochstift Freising - it was not under the rule of the Freising Prince-Bishop, but belonged to the Duchy / Electorate of Bavaria.

The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization , after the last abbot Kastulus Wohlmuth died in August 1802 and no new one could be elected. The buildings served as barracks from 1803 to 1905 . From 1906 to 1971 it housed a cloth factory as well as apartments and offices.

Since 1987 it has been the seat of the Freising District Office . The three-storey building complex is located south of the church, built at the end of the 17th century. To the southeast of it is the free-standing former monastery library (with preserved coffered ceiling from 1623), to the east of the monastery building is the "monastery garden" (park). The former ballroom of the monastery is now the meeting room of the district council . To the west of the monastery, the former utility building, now part of the district office.

church

After 1803 the monastery church became a branch church of St. Georg in Freising , and since 1892 it has been its own parish church of St. Peter and Paul . It is one of the most beautiful rococo churches in Bavaria and was designed by the Italian master builder Giovanni Antonio Viscardi around 1700, after a fire in 1751 it was renewed. Ceiling painting created in 1756 by Johann Baptist Zimmermann , the figures by Ignaz Günther , stucco by Franz Xaver Feichtmayr the Elder. J. The church was reopened on July 3, 2016 after extensive renovation since 2009.

The 65 meter high church tower, with the towers of the Mariendom , the Baroque tower of St. Georg and the water towers of the Weihenstephan State Brewery, is one of the landmarks of the university town of Freising .
