The Pauline monastery in Tannheim was a Pauline monastery in the municipality of Tannheim, today a district of Villingen-Schwenningen . The monastery was closed in the course of secularization in 1803.

history

According to documentary evidence dated July 24, 1353, issued at Sindelstein ( Zindelstein Castle ), the monastery was founded by Count Hug von Fürstenberg. Zindelstein Castle was the Count's residence during this time.

According to oral tradition, the blessed Cuno, nicknamed "the silent one" , is said to have lived as a hermit at the place where the monastery was built, and the blessed is said to have been buried in the monastery church. He was called Cuno the silent one because he had been silent for 17 years. He had refused the appointment as cardinal out of modesty. His grave was not found when the old monastery church was opened to the public in 1898. A plaque in the new church commemorates the blessed. A statue of him is in the parish church in Meßkirch . The pilgrimage began in the Middle Ages, and it is said to have helped with breakage and stone diseases as well as rickets, as indicated by numerous votive offerings .

The farmers around Hans Müller von Bulgenbach destroyed Castle Zindelstein and Neu-Fürstenberg Castle in 1525 , the monastery remained undisturbed. In January or February 1779 the monastery burned down for unknown reasons. Reconstruction began in the same year. There is an old photograph and the construction plans of the rebuilt, no longer existing monastery building, which could not be sold after the fire and was therefore demolished, it was about 30 minutes' walk outside the village. Today's church was built within the village and is a neo-Gothic building .

The Grünwald monastery was closely connected to the monastery in Tannheim, and was roughly the same in size and convent, and there were also close connections to the Pauline monastery in Bonndorf in Bonndorf .
