St. Ulrich in the Black Forest was a priory of the Burgundian Benedictine monastery Cluny , originated in the Black Forest Möhlintal around 1083, independent until 1547. Today St. Ulrich is a district of Bollschweil .

history

The beginnings of the Cluniac priory of St. Ulrich go back to the time of the investiture dispute , when a monk from Cluny founded a priory of the Burgundian abbey with Ulrich von Zell († 1093) from Regensburg on the western edge of the Black Forest , in the Möhlintal. Ulrich used an older community of monks on the Tuniberg (near Ober- / Unterrimsingen) founded before 1072 , which in turn was relocated to Grüningen (near Oberrimsingen ) between 1077 and 1080 . When Ulrich took over the monastic community, he benefited from existing connections to Cluny, which were established by the noble free Hesso von Eichstetten (see also Lords of Eichstetten ) and Rimsingen, the founder of the Tuniberg monastery, and the Baden margrave Hermann I († 1074) had. At Ulrich's instigation, the monastic community moved again, around 1087 to Zell im Möhlintal, a location where a (monastery) “cell” of the St. Gallen Abbey was located in 868 . From Basel Bishop Burkhard von Fenis (bishop from 1072 to 1107) the priory acquired the property in the area of ​​Zell; Of course, there was some clearing work to be done here.

The only Cluniac monastery on the right of the Rhine developed quite satisfactorily in the period that followed. The monastic manor belonged to property in Breisgau , Alsace and Ortenau , the priory owned, among other things, the parishes in Grüningen, Wolfenweiler , Bollschweil and Hochdorf , while the controversial Achkarren parish was exchanged for that in Feuerbach in 1315. The monastery bailiwick was in the hands of the Counts of Nimburg , the Strasbourg bishops (1200), the Hohenstaufen kings (1236), the Counts of Freiburg and the Austrian dukes (1445). The 13th century saw the decline of the monastic community. Repeated visitations originating from Cluny testify to a strongly reduced number of four to seven monks in addition to the prior. A certain upswing of the monastery can be ascertained under Prior Paul von Cůnheim (1448–1489). The monastery burned down twice during his tenure, but was quickly rebuilt after the first conflagration before 1464. During the Reformation , the monastic community lost its independence. The last Cluniac prior was Stephan Baudin. St. Ulrich - the name of the monastery after its founder prevailed in the course of the 14th century - was incorporated into the priory of the St. Georgen Monastery in 1547, the priory of the St. Peter Abbey in 1560, and the St. Peter Abbey in 1578. In 1806 the St. Ulrich priory was secularized together with the monastic community in St. Peter .

The baroque church built by Peter Thumb on behalf of the abbot Benedikt Wülberz followed several previous medieval buildings. Various altar consecrations , destruction, repairs and new buildings have been handed down. A mighty Romanesque baptismal font from the 11th / 12th is well worth seeing . Century and a 13th century Madonna .

The Archdiocese of Freiburg has been operating an adult education center for rural areas in the former monastery buildings , the Catholic rural folk high school in St. Ulrich , since 1949 .
