Prüfening Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Regensburg, Germany.
The Romanesque basilica features a transept and preserved wall paintings, with the church dedicated to Saint George at its center point.
Bishop Otto I of Bamberg established the monastery in 1119, and it operated continuously until its dissolution during the 1803 secularization of Bavaria.
The Erminold Master, a prominent Regensburg cathedral builder, created the tomb of the first abbot Erminold in 1283.
The former abbey buildings now house a Montessori school, while the church serves the Catholic parish of St. Boniface in Regensburg-Prüfening.
The monastery's dedicatory inscription from 1119 represents an early example of medieval typography, created through printing techniques with individual letter stamps.
