Its main characteristic is the special devotion to the passion of Christ . Hence its official name: Congregation for the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Communities of the southern German-Austrian vice province are located in Munich - Pasing , where the first branch in Germany was established in Gatterburg Castle , in Schwarzenfeld in the Upper Palatinate and in the former Capuchin monastery ( Schottenkloster) in Eichstätt . The Passionists' branch in Marienmünster Abbey between Steinheim and Höxter was the only branch in northern Germany that was maintained by the Dutch province, but was given up on August 31, 2014.
