Discover the historic monastery Frauenberg via Fulda!

Fulda, Deutschland - The Frauenberg monastery, picturesque on a hill above the city of Fulda, is a place with significant historical and cultural relevance. The impressive baroque church and the neighboring monastery are now active institutions of the Franciscan order and the Antonius community foundation: Together. According to information from Osthessen News not only the goal for history, but also as a center for inclusion and community.

The roots of the Frauenberg monastery go back to the time of Bishop Bonifatius, who lived from 672 to 754. Around 800, a church and a monastery of Abbot Ratgar, which were consecrated in 809, was built on the mountain, where Bonifatius often lingered for prayer. This mountain was called the "Bischofsberg" until the 13th century, before he was given today's name "Berg of our dear wife", known as "Frauenberg". This historical development is further deepened by the memories of the Franciscans who came to Fulda in 1237. They built a church in the city in 1246 and a monastery in which they lived over 300 years, as the franziskaner.de website reports.
