It is located on the eastern edge of Schlehdorf on the northern edge of the Bavarian Alps and in the immediate vicinity of Lake Kochel . The monastery building with guest house and monastery shop located on the site was sold by the religious order in 2020.

history

The monastery, consecrated to St. Dionysius and later St. Tertulin, was founded in 763/772 by the Huosi , a noble family living in the region. It is considered to be the successor monastery to Scharnitz , which probably burned down between 769 and 772. The first abbot is Arbeo , who later became the abbot of Freising , his successor was Atto von Freising , also belonging to the Huosi. From this it was concluded that this monastery was intended as a "house monastery" of the Huosi. The Huosi Gaio , son of Poapos , donated his property in the Inn valley in the pagus Poapintal and in Langenpettenbach to the Schlehdorf monastery in 799 .

It was a Benedictine monastery until the 10th century , then a collegiate monastery . From 1140 Augustinian canons , it was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . The collegiate church, built between 1773 and 1780, is attributed to the Munich builder Balthasar Trischberger . The monastery is a baroque, three-storey three-wing complex and was built from 1717 to 1725. The monastery was sold, it has belonged to the Dominican Missionaries of King William's Town since 1904 and has been the seat of the German Order Province since 1960 . The monastery buildings were expanded in 1926/27 under Hans Schurr .

Cohaus monastery Schlehdorf

On November 28, 2019, the Mission Dominicans sold the historic building for 4.2 million euros to the housing cooperative (Wogeno) Munich. For the purchase, Wogeno founded the subsidiary “Cohaus Kloster Schlehdorf GmbH” based in Schlehdorf, which, as the new owner, is redesigning and realigning the interior of the building with the aim of offering living, working and public events from September 2020. The monastery church and the secondary school are not affected. The religious order has moved into a new building.
