Kloster Marienau, Medieval monastery in Breisach, Germany
The religious complex consisted of a convent building, church dedicated to Our Lady of Marienau, workshops, gardens, and artificial fish ponds.
Founded in 1264, Kloster Marienau operated as a Cistercian monastery until its complete destruction during the Peasants' War in 1525.
The abbesses who led the monastery from 1283 to 1525 came from noble Alsatian families, influencing regional religious practices.
The monastery location remains a subject of research, with some sources suggesting it stood on the slopes of Eckartsberg.
In 1367, the monastery became a battlefield during the Upper Rhine Cities War, where a siege resulted in numerous casualties.
