The Rippoldsau priory was a priory of the Sankt Georgen monastery in the Black Forest , it was located in the town of Rippoldsaus in the central Black Forest, today a district of Bad Rippoldsau-Schapbach .
history
A document from Pope Alexander III. (1159–1181) for the Sankt Georgen monastery in the Black Forest mentions the cell of St. Nicholas on the Rippoldsau estate in the Wolftal, a priory owned by the Black Forest monastery on the Brigach, for the first time on March 26, 1179 . Church bailiffs were the Lords of Wolfach , from 1306 the Counts of Fürstenberg . In the course of the conversion of Count Wilhelm von Fürstenberg to Protestantism , the Reformation was introduced in Rippoldsau in 1537 and the monastery property was confiscated. The conventuals fled to Villingen , but were able to return to Rippoldsau in 1549 - after the Reformation was withdrawn. After the death of Prior Georg Wachter (1570), however, the St. Georgen Abbot, who resided in Villingen, only saw himself in a position to reoccupy the priory in 1577. Little can be learned about the newly built monastery from the 17th century; monastic life almost came to a standstill in the Thirty Years' War . In the 18th century, a Marian pilgrimage to the Rippoldsau priory was formed, which enabled the monks to intensify building activities.
In 1802, the priory was Baden , secularized and in 1822 a separate parish established. The monastery building, built in 1769/70 under Abbot Coelestin Wahl and Prior Beda Reichert, has served as a parsonage since secularization. The plans for the new construction of the monastery came from master builder Franz Joseph Salzmann , they were carried out by master builder Caspar Fritsche . Today's parish and pilgrimage church was built in 1828/29 by Weinbrenner's student Christoph Arnold in the neo-classical style. The pilgrimage picture, a pietá, dates from the 15th century. The large murals are by the Freiburg artist Wilhelm Dürr .
