Tips
It was founded around 1250 as a Cistercian monastery. After the Reformation, it functioned as a Protestant women's convent. During the Thirty Years' War, significant parts of the monastery complex were destroyed and never rebuilt.
The monastery buildings that have survived are now used for cultural and religious purposes.
The cemetery was temporarily desecrated and then re-consecrated years later. Since the beginning of the monastery, it has served as a burial place for all members of the monastery.translated by
