Bavarian Congregation

Bavarian Congregation

The Bavarian Congregation is a congregation of the Benedictine Confederation consisting (with one exception) of monasteries in Bavaria, Germany.

It was founded on 26 August 1684 by the Blessed Pope Innocent XI (1676-1689).

First Congregation

Until the secularisation of Bavaria in 1803 the following abbeys belonged to the congregation:
*Andechs Abbey
*Attel Abbey
*Benediktbeuern Abbey
*Ensdorf Abbey
*Frauenzell Abbey
*Mallersdorf Abbey
*Michelfeld Abbey
*Oberaltaich Abbey
*Prüfening Abbey
*St. Emmeram's Abbey

*Rott Abbey
*Scheyern Abbey
*Tegernsee Abbey
*Thierhaupten Abbey
*Weihenstephan Abbey
*Weissenohe Abbey
*Weltenburg Abbey
*Wessobrunn Abbey

All these monasteries were dissolved in 1803, however, and the congregation lapsed at that point.
