Staffelsee Monastery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Staffelsee Monastery was a monastery on the island of Wörth in the Staffelsee in the municipality of Seehausen am Staffelsee in Bavaria.

history

The monastery was founded by the noble brothers Waldram, Eliland and Landfrid from the Huosi family around 740. It was an important center of the Diocese of Neuburg and in some research it was even interpreted as its bishopric.

The monastery is historically documented, among other things, by the Staffelsee inventory , which was created at the time of Charlemagne and is one of the most important sources of economic history in the Carolingian era. The monastery was probably destroyed by the Hungarians in the 10th century. A reconstruction of at least the church is assured, but not documented in writing. By the 11th century at the latest, there was no longer a monastery on the island, but the parish church of St. Michael of the Staffelsee community, incorporated into the Ettal monastery , stood there until 1773 , which was then demolished and the stones were brought to the mainland and there for the construction of the new parish church St. Michael were used.
