history

Convent

According to the Ulrich deed Deed mentioned the starting point was the Holy Stephanus church dedicated in front of the northern walls of the city, passing through the Archdiakon Amalric, his nephew, the deacon Walther, and Elesinde by Vergabung of goods including in Batzenhofen and Gersthofen was founded. Elesinde set up a cell at this church in order to lead a solitary, edifying life. After the deaths of Amalrich and Walther, Ulrich , Bishop of Augsburg and later saint, founded the St. Stephen's Monastery on April 23, 969 for his, his entrusted and the donor's salvation . He appointed Elesinde as its first abbess and allowed the nuns to choose a new abbess themselves after their death.

Some historians assumed that Elesinde was a daughter of Count Hupald von Dillingen and a sister of Bishop Ulrich. However, this is highly questionable. Your year of birth or death is unknown.

It is not known which rules of the order the convent obeyed. However, Placidus Braun suspects that it was the Regula Benedicti .

The monastery burned down in 1059 and 1205.

Cannon pin

In the 13th or 14th century - neither the exact year nor the name of the abbess has survived, but a papal bull by Benedict XII. from the year 1335 limits the possible period backwards - the convent gave itself a new constitution and changed into a canonical monastery. Since then , the women choirs were canonesses without religious vows , who lived in the monastery according to the Augustine rule.

Around the year 1300, the area north of the episcopal city on the raised terrace in which the monastery is located was walled and integrated into the city. Since then it has been called the Lower City , in contrast to the Upper City in the south of the episcopal city. The city gate near the monastery was first named St. Gallentor, from the middle of the 15th century it was called Stephingertor . The gate is no longer there today.

In the year 1380 the house history of the monastery reports that due to the construction of a ditch as part of the city ​​fortifications from the Oblattertor to the entrance it suffered a significant disadvantage in terms of land.

Secular women's pen

In the 15th century the Kanonissenstift gave itself a new constitution and transformed into a secular collegiate foundation (“free worldly noble women's foundation ”). This is said to have happened under the Abbess Agnes von Ostenheim during the Council of Constance . A papal bull by Martin V from 1421 calls it a secular collegiate monastery for the first time. The common table and the dormitory were removed. The canons, who were recruited exclusively from the Swabian landed nobility , had since then had private apartments. The religious costume was taken off, only a nun-shaped choir clothing was retained. The colleges were allowed to have private property and live on it in addition to the income from the foundation's assets . They were not in a retreat and were also allowed to marry. Only the abbesses were still denied marital status.

In 1458 or 1459 the monastery burned down again.

In 1581, the Augsburg bishop Marquard II vom Berg and the dean of the cathedral Johann Otto von Gemmingen issued a decree that the noble ladies would again spend the night in a shared dormitory. They were only allowed to use their private apartments during the day. After the death of Abbess Euphrosina in 1596, Johann Otto von Gemmingen, who was now a bishop himself, massively tightened the rules of the monastery. The private apartments were dissolved. From then on, the canonesses had to wear uniform household costumes and a communal choir prayer was introduced as in a monastery. The monastery could not be left without the abbess's permission. If a canoness wanted to get married, she had to leave the pen. The abbess was now subordinate to the respective cathedral dean.

In the 18th century, the St. Stephan monastery flourished again. The new construction of his Stephanskirche under the prince-bishop's court architect Franz Xaver Kleinhans took place in the years 1755/57. In 1789 the canonesses reformed their constitution at their own request. Under Abbess Maria Antonia Reichsfreifrau von Welden, a complete new building for the convent began in 1796 . The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization and came into the possession of the city. At the time of the dissolution, the monastery had seven capitular ladies in addition to the abbess. It was evacuated in 1807. In 1816 the army set up an assembly magazine there.

Abbesses

Since the institution lost old documents several times, the list of its abbesses can only be reconstructed with gaps and uncertainties. An important source is the so-called Book of Arms of St. Stephen, but this also contains errors, as some of its information contradict other surviving documents. The following list of abbesses mainly follows an essay by Placidus Braun from 1794, who evaluated the sources available to him at the time. The years indicate the terms of office.

She had the monastery apartments built from scratch in four years at great expense. Shortly afterwards the monastery was dissolved in the secularization.

Assembly magazine

After the secularization, King Max I of Bavaria gave the buildings of the former women's monastery to the General Commander of the Swabian Province, General Prince Carl Philipp von Wrede , to live in. He had the baptistery demolished in order to build an elongated glass house in its place for his passion, flower growing. In 1816, the former monastery building was added to the new purpose of a royal assembly magazine . A large new wing was built for this purpose along the garden wall on the alley of the Carmelite Wall.

Benedictine monastery

The revival of St. Stephen arose from the desire of the citizens in the parity imperial city of Augsburg to enable the merged schools of St. Anna (Protestant) and St. Salvator , a former Catholic Jesuit college , to become independent again. A citizen donated 30,000 guilders , Bishop Ignaz Albert von Riegg supported the initiative, and finally King Ludwig I approved the purchase of the building of the former women's monastery to accommodate the Catholic study facility. The opening took place on November 20, 1827, when the institution took over the patronage of St. Stephen. King Ludwig I forbade the re-admission of the Jesuits and instead transferred the foundation to the Benedictine Order, which he restored in Bavarian Swabia .

The former Ottobeurer Father Barnabas Huber was appointed as the first abbot . He was designated on Easter Monday, April 20, 1835. This was the first benediction since secularization in Bavaria and all of Germany. Together with Bishop Riegg, Abbot Barnabas traveled to Vienna , and after they had received permission there, through Benedictine monasteries throughout Austria and Switzerland to recruit monks for the convent and school lessons. They won 19 Austrian and 3 Swiss fathers and were able to receive 5 more fathers from the Metten Monastery, which was re-established in 1830 . On November 5, 1835, the St. Stephen Monastery was constituted. Five novices were also dressed and the Ottobeuren monastery was rebuilt as a priory . Ottobeuren and Metten were subordinate to St. Stephan. Papal approval was not obtained for the new foundation, nor for the appointment and ordination of the abbot. The endowment as the financial basis of the monastery was donated by King Ludwig I with 46,000 guilders from his private assets; this was also not discussed with the Pope.

The different origins and traditions of the fathers led to various difficulties and disciplinary problems in the early years, which continued when the monastery was made up of fathers who had moved on. The college included a Latin school , the actual grammar school , a lyceum (later Philosophical University until 1969) and boarding school. The institutions see themselves expressly in the pedagogical tradition of the Jesuit college, not the former Benedictine abbey of St. Afra and Ulrich .

The buildings destroyed in the Second World War in 1944 were rebuilt from 1950 to 1966.

Abbots

Manorial rule

According to a Salbuch from 1401, St. Stephan in Batzenhofen had 7 properties. In 1530 the bailiwick and lower court could also be acquired there. The high court was Burgauisch . In 1531, under Abbess Anna von Freiberg, a court order regulating civil and criminal law was issued. The place developed into the center of the rural possessions of the monastery. In 1750 a summer residence was built there for the canonesses, the Batzenhofen Castle . An official who was subordinate to the Vogt in Batzenhofen had his house in Rettenbergen. In 1774 the monastery established a hospital foundation for poor and sick subjects in Hausen. With the secularization, the power of rule passed to the Electorate of Bavaria .

Administrative division

Monastery garden

The approximately one hectare former garden of the Carmelites, seen from the Fugger and Welser Adventure Museum

In the south of the monastery, across the street “Carmelite Wall”, there is a monastery garden of about one hectare . This has existed as a garden since the early Middle Ages. In Roman times a wide street ran through it, as we know from finds. There is a small pavilion in the middle of the garden.

Since 1638 the garden property has belonged to the Carmelite Monastery of Augsburg, "Carmel of the Most Holy Sacrament", which was then newly founded in the cathedral district . This was secularized in 1802 and evacuated in 1807. After the founding of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephan, the large garden was given to the new monastery and boarding school for use in 1851. Since then, its owner has been the Catholic Study Fund, which is administered by the City of Augsburg Foundation Office.

The garden with a right-angled network of paths, enclosing wall, octagonal pavilion and a St. Mary's grotto from the 18th century is a listed building . At its southeast corner is the Wieselhaus , from whose upper floors visitors to the Fugger and Welser Adventure Museum can take a look into the monastery garden, which is completely enclosed by a wall.

The garden is also used by the monastery for beekeeping and contains an observatory that is used by the St. Stephan high school.

St. Joseph boarding school

The St. Joseph Study Seminar was opened in 1828 to accommodate and care for full and day pupils . Benedictines have led this seminar since 1835, which was expanded again in 1874/76 with the construction and purchase of two houses and in 1907/09. After a temporary closure during the Second World War, the study seminar was reopened in 1947. It was closed in this form in 2005 and has only existed as a day boarding school since then.

The composer Wilfried Hiller appeared in public as a victim in April 2013 and accused Benedictines of the St. Joseph boarding school of severe punishment and sexual abuse , which happened in the mid-1950s. In January 2014, actor Michael Lerchenberg confirmed these allegations from personal experience from the 1950s and 1960s. He is also affected.

present

Twelve Benedictines currently live in the monastery. You work as a teacher at the grammar school near St. Stephan , in the day boarding school St. Joseph, in adult education, in the guest house St. Benedikt, in extraordinary pastoral care as well as in nursing and manual activities. The community has been the prior administrator since 2006 and Abbot Theodor Hausmann since May 2009 .

The monastery set up the St. Benedikt guesthouse and offers overnight accommodation and conference rooms. In addition, rooms in the monastery are rented to a private art academy.

Climate measurements

At the beginning of the 19th century, measurement and observation of the weather began in Augsburg . From 1812 to 1837 Augustin Stark measured and observed weather elements in his residential tower at St. Stephen's Monastery on a daily basis. He published this annually as a meteorological yearbook .

After Augustine's death, the monks continued the measurements to this day. In 1866 the Bavarian Academy of Sciences initiated a Bavaria-wide observation network, which was in the tradition of the Societas Meteorologica Palatina . The station in St. Stephan was also integrated into this network as a "secular station". Since the location has never been changed, a solid series of measurements from Augsburg weather data is available. This homogeneous series of measurements is one of the longest in Europe and comparable to that of the Meteorological Observatory on the Hohen Peißenberg . Only after the air raid on Augsburg in February 1944 were the measurements interrupted for a week due to destroyed instruments.
