List of daughter monasteries of Eberbach Monastery

This list contains all the monasteries belonging to the Eberbach monastery in the Rheingau . In addition, it contains all known Eberbach monasteries that are at least temporarily directly subordinate to them, especially women's monasteries. According to a document from 1344 by Abbot Wilhelm, the Eberbach monastery had 30 daughter monasteries.

The name and the region are given for each monastery. The list also contains the information on the period in which the relationship was established and ended. It should be noted that the process of founding or abolishing a monastery often took several years.

Eberbach was founded during the expansionary phase of the Cistercian order . The first subsidiary monasteries were founded just a few years after they were founded in 1136. After the expansion in the Holy Roman Empire was interrupted by the schism from 1160 to 1170, Eberbach and his daughter monasteries only managed to found further daughter or grandchildren monasteries in isolated cases.

From the end of the 12th century, the monastery was increasingly placed under the control of women's convents for visits. In numerous cases this was done by reforming existing monasteries of other orders according to the rules of the Cistercians. Real new women's monasteries were only founded in isolated cases. The visitation protocols that have been received distinguish between fully incorporated women's monasteries and committed women's monasteries in which Eberbach only carried out the visitation on behalf of.

Usually the monasteries remained in the filiation until they were abolished. The repeal took place in two major phases. The first phase began with the Reformation at the beginning of the second half of the 16th century. A second phase took place in the transition to the 19th century, especially in the wake of the Peace of Lunéville (1802 on the left bank of the Rhine) and the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (from 1803 on the right bank of the Rhine).
