history

From monastery to imperial abbey

The Maria Himmelfahrt and St. Erhard monastery was dedicated by the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. founded before his abdication in 788 and was first mentioned around 889.

It became one of the most important Frauenstift Germany, which in 1002 by Henry II. As Reichsabtei Niedermünster to Reichsstift collected and its imperial immediacy in 1216 by Frederick II. Was confirmed. In the 11th century, the monastery also experienced a cultural boom, which can still be measured today in numerous preserved works of art such as the Gisela Cross and the Uta Codex .

In 1802 the monastery monastery was subordinated to the administration of the Principality of Regensburg and was secularized when it was dissolved in 1810 .

After secularization

From 1820 the monastery was partially rented out. In 1821, the bishop was assigned rooms as a flat, and the ordinariate was also moved to rooms in the former monastery.
