Grüningen Priory

Grüningen Priory

Grüningen Priory was a short-lived Cluniac foundation, predecessor to St. Ulrich's Priory in the Black Forest, at Grüningen in Breisach in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

Ulrich of Zell (d. 1093), in his advancement of the Cluniac reforms in German territory, took over a small Benedictine monastic community located at Grüningen near Oberrimsingen in Breisach, which he turned into a priory directly dependent on the Abbey of Cluny. The house had been founded before 1072 on the Tuniberg near the Kaiserstuhl by Hesso of Eichstetten and Rimsingen (Kloster Tuniberg), and had moved to Grüningen between 1077 and 1080. Ulrich, with the consent of the founder, turned it into a priory directly dependent on the Abbey of Cluny and at his instigation the community moved yet again in about 1087, this time to Zell in the Möhlin valley, where it developed into St. Ulrich's Priory in the Black Forest.
