    The Benedictine Abbey in Tholey is considered the oldest monastery on German soil and was first mentioned in a document in 634 AD. Today's abbey church from the 13th century is one of the oldest Gothic churches in Germany.

      Tholey Abbey is the oldest monastery on German soil. The abbey became internationally famous for its choir windows. The restoration has given rise to new world art. All but one of the dilapidated windows by the artist Robert Klöck from the 1960s have been replaced by new ones. The Afghan artist Mahbuba Maqsoodi designed most of the windows, and Gerhard Richter, the world's most important contemporary artist, designed three more.
