Marienthal. A special place of silence and encounter. The monastery and pilgrimage church are located on the sunny southern slope of the Taunus, in the most beautiful part of the Rheingau.

Adjacent to the pilgrimage site is the Franciscan Garden, which was created in 1915. It depicts St. Francis preaching to the animals, accompanied by Brother Leo, who sits there listening devoutly, and finally a multitude of various animals. In 2012, the Franciscan prayer and singing group redesigned the Franciscan garden. It is intended to be a place where people can remember beloved animals and remember that animals too are God's creatures. On six panels along a gravel path there are texts by Thomas of Celano about Francis' love for all creatures, words from Francis and also from Francis' companions. In addition, two panels contain quotes from songs by the Rüdesheim songwriter Karin Schneider. On the back of two of the stone steles of the "Seven Joys of Mary" there are two clay tablets by Dr. Sylvia Säglitz, mounted with the 'Footprints of the multitude of animals' and 'The love of Francis for all creatures'. The place invites you to linger and meditate on the texts or just to rest for a while on the bench.
