history

The St. Jakobus d. Ä. The consecrated monastery was founded in 1139 by the Würzburg bishop Embricho on the left side of the Main as the third Benedictine abbey in Würzburg. The first abbot of the convent of St. Jacob was the Iroschot Macarius . The humanist Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516) held this office from 1506 until his death.

In the course of secularization in 1803 the monastery was dissolved. A garrison hospital was initially housed in the monastery building. The monastery church was initially used as a military magazine and from 1904 as a garrison church.

After the Second World War, the Salesians of Don Bosco bought and took over the bomb-destroyed area, the Schottenanger , where they inaugurated a new youth home in 1951. In 1955 the "Schottenkirche" was rebuilt as Don Bosco Church under the patronage of St. Johannes Bosco and under the direction of Albert Boßlet .

The relics of Blessed Macarius were placed in the Marienkapelle after the profanation of the Schottenkirche .
