St. Marx Monastery
The Alsatian nunnery St. Marx ( French Couvent Saint-Marc ), founded around 1105, was under the supervision of the Benedictine monastery St. Georgen in the Black Forest and was a priory of the Black Forest monastery until the 18th century .
Historical research dates the foundation of the Benedictine nunnery of St. Marx near Rouffach in Alsace to around 1105 . A community of monks had previously existed there, but they fell victim to a fire. The St. Georgen Abbot Theoger (1088–1119) now founded the women's monastery, which according to a document from Pope Lucius III. (1181–1185) was subordinate to the pastoral care of the St. Georgen monastery in 1184 . Around 1400 a St. Georgen monk is mentioned as prior, as is the property of the women's community in Geberschweier and Osenbach. The St. Georgen priory came to the Alsatian monastery of Ebersmunster in 1754 .
