history

Bishop Embriko founded a small collegiate monastery with a chapel as an oratory to the east of Augsburg Cathedral in 1071 and furnished it with plenty of real estate. The patronage in honor of St. Gertrud von Nivelles points to an older chapel outside the city walls that has been abandoned. The monastery, which was subordinate to the cathedral chapter , initially had three and later five canon positions. St. Gertrud did not have a monastery building. Since it was closely tied to the cathedral, it was insignificant. The income was administered in personal union by members of the cathedral chapter.

Since the church stood in the way of the expansion of the Romanesque cathedral, it was demolished in the middle of the 14th century. The east choir of today's cathedral was built in its place in 1356. As a replacement who received canons in the new 1431 finished high choir the Gertrudenkapelle today as a means chapel known. The former altarpiece showing the communion of St. Gertrud has been in the church of St. Bartholomew in Diedorf since 1859/63 . In the course of secularization, the monastery was abolished in 1802.
