The theological monastery in Göttingen

The theological monastery of the University of Göttingen is the study house of the theological faculty of the Georg-August University of Göttingen .

history

The theological monastery was founded in 1857 at the suggestion of the Tübingen theologian Isaak August Dorner as a residential building for theology students and, as a university institution, goes back to the repetents institute, which has existed since 1765. Based on the model of the Tübingen monastery , a residential building for theology students was set up in the former hospital in Stumpfebiel / corner of Mühlenstraße (today the building is used as a student residence). Since 1983 the theological monastery has been housed in the south wing of the old Ernst-August-Hospital in Geiststraße , a classical plastered building built in 1850.

The building was built by the court master builder from Hanover , Christian Adolf Vogell .
