history
The St. Josef Monastery was established in 1920. In a letter dated August 28, 1920, the then Bishop of Eichstätt authorized the establishment of the Provincial Mother House for the Province of Bavaria-Palatinate (from 1951 to 2005 Province of Bavaria) in the former Wildbad spa in Neumarkt. The church in St. Joseph's monastery was consecrated in 1932. Today around 150 sisters live in St. Joseph's monastery, many of whom retire here.
The monastery also includes the healing spring of the former Kurhaus, whose water is now bottled and sold by Neumarkter Lammsbräu .
Hotel operation and seminar house
Large parts of the monastery grounds are now operated by the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer as a generally accessible hotel with a large number of seminar and conference rooms. In parallel to the hotel and seminar operations, retreats are still held in the monastery for the sisters from other branches of the order.
