history
- 1406/1408: During the Appenzell War, the former residence of the Lords of Niedegge, which is located on a hill in the city of Bregenz near the banks of the Bregenzerach, is destroyed.
- 1448: The ruin is acquired by the citizen Hanns Schmid.
- 1570: The property goes to Hanns Schnabl.
- 1622/1628: The monastery belongs to Einsiedeln Abbey .
- 1664 to 1806: The Riedenburg is owned by the Mehrerau monastery .
- In 1801 the order of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Sacre Coeur) was founded as a social school order. The founder Magdalena Sophie Barat was appointed Superior General in 1806 and founded numerous Sacre Coeur houses around the world.
- 1844/1849: The Riedenburg is renewed by Baron zu Pöllnitz (owner since 1842).
- In December 1853 the purchase contract for today's school is signed with Baron Ernst von Pöllnitz.
- The official opening of the monastery and the boarding school took place on April 24, 1854. The early years of school turn out to be extremely difficult, however, as there is a lack of female students (sometimes only seven girls are taught). The language of instruction is French, and for a long time the majority of the female students come from abroad. Over the years, the range of offerings is expanded (different types of schools, schools for the poor, ...) and the number of students increases
- In 1856 the founder of the order, Barat, pays a visit to the Riedenburg. Your good relationship with the Riedenburg is passed down in a quote: "If I want to have a nice dream, then I think of the Riedenburg."
- 1859: First expansion of the school: the church and a boarding school are built as flight structures on both sides of the old building
- Emperor Franz Joseph also pays a visit to the school in 1881.
- 1901/02: Second major expansion in the southwest
- During World War II the boarding house is closed and used for war purposes. The sisters become cleaning women and helpers. The school is being converted into a military hospital, and a network of corridors is being built under the school as an air raid shelter for the injured soldiers and parts of the population of Bregenz. This bunker can still be visited today in guided tours. After the end of the war, the French occupation army took over the school. This initiated the resumption of teaching in 1945.
- 1960: The former boarding school is opened to external students as well
- 1965–1967: Third major expansion: the Herz-Jesu-Haus, which today houses most of the classrooms, is built to accommodate the newly founded grammar school (lower and upper grades).
- 2018: Opening of the previous girls' school also for boys
architecture
The irregular building complex, caused by renovations and additions, has the main front facing south with the central old building, plus the two gable fronts of the monastery on both sides, and the neo-Gothic monastery church to the east, while newer wings of the school are to the west.
monastery
The old building as a four-storey building is the residence of Hanns Schnabl von Schönstein from 1570.
To the side of the old building there are lower connecting tracts to the two wing structures Mariengang and cloister of the monastery, built in 1862/1863 and 1879.
Monastery church
The monastery church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the east of the monastery was built from 1862 to 1865 according to the plans of the architect H. Sutter and in 1865 on St. Magdalena consecrated. It contains two side chapels and an organ. Several figures also adorn the church. In 1884, the builder Spratler added the significantly smaller, more unadorned Marienkapelle on the northwest side.
Equipment of the monastery church
The neo-Gothic high altar comes from the cabinet maker Spratler, the tabernacle was created in 1924 by Anton Rebholz. The left side altar bears the sandstone figure Maria with child by Serafin Eberhart from 1898 in the niche . The right side altar bears the sandstone figure St. Josef also by Serafin Eberhart from 1904. Walter Bjelik painted the painting in the left side chapel in 1940. In the right side chapel there is a flat three-part neo-Gothic altar by Konstantin Mayer and shows a picture of the order's founder, Barat, flanked by two angels.
Choir stalls run along the nave walls and the pews have carved docks . In the anteroom to the church there is a crucifix with Mary from the end of the 19th century. In the staircase in the stairway to the church the figures Archangel Michael, Heart of Jesus from 1861 and St. Josef from the beginning of the 20th century. A painting of Jesus at Jacob's fountain and a Pietà are on display in the anteroom to the Marienkapelle.
The organ was built in 1873 by the Mayer brothers .
Lady Chapel
The Lady Chapel in the north of the nave, also known as the Foreign Chapel, has a separate entrance and was built in 1884. To the left of the altar is a Pietà from the end of the 19th century. The pews with tracery docks date from 1887. The cross-way panels were painted in 1965 by the painter Alois Hofer.
school
Originally designed as a French-speaking school for senior daughters, the Sacré Coeur Riedenburg now includes a higher education institution for business professions (founded in 1962), a grammar school with lower and upper grades (founded in 1964. These two schools have only been under the same management since 1999) and an elementary school. Secondary school, one-year housekeeping school, three-year technical school and other types of school were abandoned over time and replaced by other forms.

Boarding school
Until 1960 the Sacre Coeur Riedenburg was only run as a boarding school. Since the opening of the day school, the number of pupils has risen sharply, but the boarding school has shrunk. Today the Riedenburg boarding school is inhabited by 40-50 schoolgirls. The students live in 1-4 rooms, which are equipped with the most important furniture and a washbasin.
During the day, the pupils receive three meals and are looked after by teachers before and after school. In addition, the lower school students visit the day care center (this is also open to external students). On Wednesdays it is up to the girls how they organize their day. There is no boarding supervision at the weekend, which means that the students have to go home from Friday to Sunday.
The boarding school is managed by Theresia Metzler. The team of teachers consists of six people.
