The Eisenbahn Monastery was a Benedictine monastery in rails on the Lake Constance peninsula Höri .
history
Around the year 800, according to a manuscript from the 9th century from the Reichenau monastery, parts of the remains of Saints Genesius and Eugenius were brought to the Michaelskirche on the Schiener Berg , which then received the patronage of St. Genesius.
“The monastery already appears in the fraternization lists of St. Gallen and Reichenau (from the 1st half of the 9th century); even later in those of Pfäfers and Remiremont . A Reichenau monk wrote a report about the translation of the relics of St. Genesius written by rails and about the miracles that have already occurred; afterwards the bodies of St. Genesius and Eugenius brought from Jerusalem to Treviso by a Count Gebhard ; from there the translation of a thigh of St. Genesius by a Scrot, who lives on Lake Constance and in the service of King Pippin of Italy, comes Florentinae Civitatis ; He assigned the relics on his property a worthy place of storage, which probably means a church or chapel. "
Count Schrot of the nearby Schrotzburg had a Benedictine monastery built around 900, after which an increased pilgrimage to this place began. According to tradition, King Pippin and Radolt of Verona visited the monastery.
"The later tradition tells of earlier mismanagement, so that in the 10th century under Ludwig the Child the abbey was converted into a provost's office and came to Reichenau. […] The list of earlier abbots can only be restored with some probability in the following order: Ambricho, Hetti, Adalram, Kerhelm, Lambert, Engilpret (around the turn of the 9th / 10th centuries). Obviously, the settlement was never very important, even if it received a number of donations: the lists of the brotherhood books contain far more names of benefactors than of monks. "
The current church, an early Romanesque basilica , was essentially built in the 11th century. After the Reformation and the Thirty Years War , the pilgrimage was revived as the Marian pilgrimage. The monastery was dissolved in 1803 together with the Konstanz monastery , to which it belonged.
building
The monastery comprised only a small convent . Today's rectory is the former monastery building. It later served as a school building. The former abbey church is now a parish church and belongs to the parish of Öhningen.
