Schwarzenthann Monastery
The former monastery Schwarzenthann was an Augustinian choir monastery belonging to the reform network of the Marbach monastery. The so-called double monastery was located in the Soultzmatter valley in the Vosges near Soultzmatt in Alsace ( France ), which is adjacent to the Marbach monastery .
The Augustinian choirwoman Guta von Schwarzenthann comes from the monastery and, together with the Augustinian canon Sintram von Marbach, wrote one of the most important Romanesque prayer book manuscripts, the Codex Guta-Sintram , which is still fully preserved today.
The only sparse ruins of the monastery, which were only rediscovered in 1969, are lonely on a wooded hill in the Soultzmatter valley near the village of Wintzfelden .
In the cemetery of the church in nearby Wintzfelden you can still see some grave slabs and a sarcophagus from the “disappeared” Schwarzenthann monastery.
