history

The monastery
Around 1087 the prior Ulrich von Zell (1080s – 1093) relocated the Cluniazenic priory Grüningen to Zell im Möhlintal , later called Ortisei . In the vicinity of this monastery, in Bollschweil , Ulrich founded a community of nuns a short time later, which was moved to Sölden in the Black Forest Hexental in 1115. As a priory, Sölden was directly subordinate to the Cluny Abbey , but the de facto priory of Ortisei exercised the overall supervision. About 13 to 20 nuns lived in this monastery at that time under the direction of a provost who was appointed by the mother monastery of Cluny. After a fire in the church and monastery in 1468, the monastic order fell apart, and around 1500 there was no longer a women's convent in Sölden . From 1546/1547 the provost's office was administered by the St. Georgen Monastery and in 1560 passed to the St. Peter Abbey , to which it was finally incorporated in 1598. During the Thirty Years War the church burned again. After another fire in 1746, the Gothic church was redesigned in Baroque style. The secularization of 1807 also affected the spiritual community in Sölden and led to the abolition of the monastery.
The Sölden manor was not particularly extensive and concentrated in Breisgau , the (umbrella) bailiwick was connected with that of the St. Ulrich priory.
Sölden is a member of the Fédératon des Sites Clunisiens , a European association of places associated with the history of the Cluny Monastery.
