history
The library was founded on January 22nd, 1818, the day on which the " Organic Regulations " were issued. At the beginning the holdings of the Konviktsbibliothek were scarce, but it took a few years before they were fully functional. Over time, the library became to a large extent a receptacle for secularized library material. The inventory of monastery books today comprises around 25,000 volumes. The library owes this to the first directors, who endeavored to obtain mainly theological books for the institution from the rich fund of disbanded monastery libraries. From the previous institutions, the Franciscan monastery and the Collegium illustre , there were no more books in the house. The first deliveries of books arrived from the library of the Augustinian Hermits in Uttenweiler, from the Capuchin and Carmelite library in Rottenburg and from the Wolfegg collegiate monastery .
