Discover the historic Frauenberg Monastery above Fulda!

The Frauenberg Monastery, picturesquely located 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 Human. According to information from East Hesse News The place is not only a destination for history buffs, but also a center for inclusion and community.

The roots of Frauenberg Monastery go back to the time of Bishop Boniface, who lived from 672 to 754. Around 800, a church and monastery was built by Abbot Ratgar on the mountain where Boniface often stayed to pray, which was consecrated in 809. This mountain was called “Bischofsberg” until the 13th century, before it was given the current name “Mountain of Our Lady”, popularly 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 and a monastery in the city in 1246, where they lived for over 300 years franziskaner.de Website reported.
