General view of Frauenchiemsee Monastery

On the Fraueninsel in the Chiemsee, the traditions of a twelve hundred year old monastery, to which an old monastery village belongs, have been impressively preserved. The southern part of the island is occupied by the monastery complex, the northern part is determined by the buildings of the village and the Hofangerwiese. The ensemble includes both areas and thus the whole island.

Individual finds from the Neolithic, the late Bronze or Urnfield Age prove that the island was used temporarily in prehistoric times; However, permanent settlement can only be proven since the early Middle Ages: Early medieval monasteries are documented for the two large Chiemsee islands, the Herren and Fraueninsel. However, references to a church that already existed in the Chiemsee around the middle of the 8th century are more likely to be associated with Herren- than Frauenchiemsee, as the existence of such an early monastery on Fraueninsel is still archaeologically uncertain Claimed message from one of Duke Tassilo III. According to recent research, the monastery founded around 770 and presumably consecrated by the Salzburg Archbishop Virgil in 782 may refer to the Benedictine monastery on Herreninsel, which has been proven by archaeological studies.

The emergence of the monastery on the Fraueninsel has been confirmed by archaeological findings by the middle of the 9th century at the latest. The pen set up here for aristocratic women received considerable endowments from King Ludwig the German and was elevated to the status of an imperial pen . His daughter Irmingard , who died in 866 , was the first abbess known by name to lead the convent and led the monastery to its first heyday; she was venerated on the island throughout the centuries and canonized as Blessed in 1928.

Münster - bell tower from gate hall

With the two-storey gate building of the monastery, a remnant of the late Ttonian layout is still vivid: Erected north of the church probably around the year 1000 in connection with the relocation of the enclosure from the north to the south side as an immunity gate to the monastery district, it has two chapel rooms inside upper, the former Michaelskapelle, still has remains of the original fresco painting in the choir.

At the beginning of the 11th century, the church was rebuilt over the foundation walls of a previous building as a three-nave, transeptless basilica with a right-angled ambulatory. The bell tower, which stands free next to the church and dominates the image of the island, was built as a defense and escape tower at the same time, which was built over the foundations of the Carolingian cloister buildings. It was raised at the end of the 14th century and given an onion dome in 1626. In the first half of the 12th century the important frescoes were created in the church. Between 1472 and 1476, the nave walls of the basilica were raised and the net vaults that characterize the interior were built in; at the same time the portal vestibule was added on the north side. After fires in 1491 and 1572, the monastery church was further expanded and equipped until the 18th century.

The medieval cloister on the south side of the collegiate church was replaced by new Baroque buildings of the convent in 1729–30, which enclose a rectangular courtyard; to the south and east there are further wing structures. In addition to the building complex from the 18th century, monastery buildings from the 16th / 17th century with the Mayerhaus, the confessor's house and the interest box have been built on the southeast edge of the district. Century preserved. The picturesque cemetery and sacristan's property in front of the north side of the collegiate church were only created after the parish church of St. Martin, the second church on the island, was demolished during the secularization.

The monastery village, inhabited by around forty families of fishermen and craftsmen in older times, follows the old shoreline, with its built-up plots in a wide arc around the large area in the northern half of the island. The parish church of St. Martin of the monastery village, first mentioned in 1393, rose on its southern edge, but was demolished after the secularization in 1803. The one and two-story residential buildings, usually with protruding flat gable roofs, the gables mostly point towards the lake. The older fishermen's houses have been almost entirely replaced by new buildings or have been heavily modified, but boat huts, jetties and other fishermen's facilities are still preserved on the island as remnants of this trade. Between houses no.35, 37, 38 on the west side and 14, 15, 16 and 17, 18, 19, 20 on the east side, there are small alleys that lead from the banks directly to the Hofanger, a large meadow area that is higher is located than the built-up areas on the shore and which covers most of the inner island. The parish church of St. Martin of the monastery village, first mentioned in 1393, rose on its southern edge, but was demolished after the secularization in 1803. In addition to the Hofanger, the former bleach garden and the linden grove with the war memorial chapel built in the 1920s have been preserved in the northeast of the monastery. There are other historical green spaces within the monastery settlement. These merging public and private green areas are typical of the structure of the island and shape its appearance to this day. The former court judge's house, which stands out from the other village buildings due to its size and hipped roof, was preserved as an island inn.

Frauenchiemsee, artists' settlement

By ship to Fraueninsel

The romantic discovery of the island in the 19th century brought the painter Max Haushofer and his artists' guild to Frauenchiemsee in 1828 . Simple residential buildings from the late 19th century, inserted between the older properties on the east side, some with studio windows, reminiscent of the artists' colony on the outside. The Villa Graf also belongs to this period, which brought a new bloom to the monastery, which was rebuilt as a priory by King Ludwig I in 1838. With the establishment of the Chiemseeschifffahrtsbetrieb in 1845, the construction of the railway line Munich - Prien - Salzburg in 1866 and the opening of the royal palace Herrenchiemsee to the public in 1886 the tourist development of the Chiemsee and the Fraueninsel began. The increasing tourism resulted in the expansion of restaurants and accommodation on the Fraueninsel. The large extension of the Gasthof zur Linde by Eugen Drollinger took place in 1903. Agriculture and handicrafts were gradually abandoned and replaced by tourism.

With the lowering of the Chiemsee in 1902 due to the increase in runoff, the area of ​​the Fraueninsel expanded; it received a new, considerably extended shoreline. The newly gained bank area was fortified with walls and provided with landing stages and artificial harbors. The green belt surrounding the entire island outside the shore path is largely undeveloped except for boat huts and bathing houses. This also preserves the important historical long-distance effect of the island.

Remarks

1. ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The monument property - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the monument atlas or the entry in the Bavarian monument list. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
