Schliersee Abbey

Schliersee from Kirchbichl, on which the first monastery was founded

The Schliersee Monastery was a former collegiate monastery in Schliersee in Bavaria in the Freising diocese .

history

That later to St. Sixtus consecrated monastery was founded around 770 and is first mentioned in writing in a document dated January 21, 779 as "Cell on the Slyrse". According to the founding legend, the brothers Adalunc, Hiltipalt, Kerpalt, Antoni and Otakar - tired of worldly business - chose the locus Schliersee to build a cellula there. The consecration of the small church belonging to it was carried out by the Freising Bishop Arbeo . Since his term of office began in 764 and an abbot of Schliersee was already present at the Synod of Dingolfing in 772 , the foundation of the monastery must have been between these two years.

The origin of the founders, five noble brothers, is not clearly established and is associated with the ancestors of the Wittelsbacher , the Falkensteiner or the Waldecker . The brothers came to the protection and rule of Arbeo; this put a vir venerabilis called Perhtcoz from the Freising clergy in front of them as magister . The brothers themselves formed the first Schliersee convent, after two years they elected Perhtcoz as their abbot and had him ordained by Bishop Arbeo according to the Benedictine rule . This procedure was followed by the abbots who followed. The founding history was recorded on January 21, 779 in the monastery. The next abbot was a Warmunt, who was also in the service of the Freising Church until the end of his life. On May 1st, 809 the abbots Warmunt and Cundheri took part in a synodal synod in Freising. H. Schliersee had become an integral part of the Freising diocese .

Catholic parish church St. Sixtus in Schliersee, where the second monastery stood

The monastery at that time was not yet in today's Schliersee , but on the Kirchbichl between Westenhofen and Hausham . After the monastery was presumably lost in the Hungarian storms of the 10th century, Bishop Otto von Freising re- founded it in 1141 and moved it to the site of today's parish church of St. Sixtus in Schliersee. Originally a Benedictine monastery, it was a collegiate monastery from 1260 to 1493. The canons lived on small farms around the church with which they secured their livelihood.

In 1493/95, at the instigation of Duke Albrecht IV the Wise , the monastery was relocated to the Frauenkirche in Munich against the resistance of the canons , where it was abolished by secularization in 1803 .
