Ensemble of Waldsassen Abbey with a manufacturing complex

File number: E-3-77-158-1

The ensemble of the monastery town shows the unique combination of the monastery complex of a Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century with a Calvinist manufacturing settlement from the early 17th century. After the Stiftland lost its independence in 1548 and had accepted the Evangelical Confession in 1556 after being incorporated into the Upper Palatinate, Elector Friedrich III. the Waldsassen monastery also dissolved. In 1613 the three Geisel brothers, who had first settled in Tirschenreuth as Calvinist religious refugees, received the electoral order to build 40 houses and a cloth industry in this economically depressed Waldsassen.

By 1630, they had been able to build 42 houses in a simple two-storey plastered construction with eaves-sided gable roofs, which still exist in the core of today's buildings in a clear grid geometry on the terrain that rises slightly from the Wondreb. Contrary to baroque custom, the manufactory city did not refer to the monastery complex, which was empty of all meaning at the time, neither in a rectangular system nor in a central line of sight, although it is generously laid out in itself and has broad street axes and good proportionality.

Even when the monastery, which was re-established by Elector Ferdinand Maria in 1661, renewed its convent and church buildings in an impressively dominant form towards the end of the 17th century, this lack of integration could no longer be compensated for; the axis of the monastery and thus the crossed position opposite the grid system had to be retained. Its wedge-shaped intersections and roundings on the outer areas are due to the outer course of the curtain wall, which, since the time of the Hussite invasions in the first half of the 15th century, has included an extensive area with agricultural buildings, meadows, game gardens and ponds large capacity of undeveloped, but nonetheless protected, land certainly influenced the relocation of Geisel's cloth factory from Tirschenreuth to Waldsassen.

The grid system was designed for optimal use of the walled area: at right angles to the Wondreb and parallel to the monastery wall between the abbey, castle and rectory - in its functionalist way of thinking, one of the earliest examples of future industrial construction. The baroque ideal plan of a three times larger industrial city, surrounded by a ten-part symmetrical star plant fortification, was no longer implemented when, after the defeat on the White Mountain, the Upper Palatinate passed from Elector Friedrich V to Duke Maximilian of Bavaria in 1620, and the Geisel brothers during the recatholicization did not want to abandon their Calvinist creed.

Since the demolition of the curtain wall and the creation of a planned rectangular square at the intersection of the central street axes had to be omitted (today crossing Kolpingstrasse / Prinzregent-Luitpold-Strasse), a closed row of eaves booths was only built in the southwest and west parallel to the wall 1670 was designated as a suburb and of which the outer row on Karolinenstrasse was largely preserved. As part of the baroque redesign of the monastery, Abbot Eugen Schmid (1724–44) laid out the New Gardens on the other side of the Wondreb, for which the circular wall was extended to the southeast and equipped with representative portals.

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 property of a monument - 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 and 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.
