Patershausen, Medieval monastery in Heusenstamm, Germany

The Patershausen monastery lies between Heusenstamm and Dietzenbach, positioned on the right bank of the Bieber River at coordinates 50.034, 8.8065.

In 1252, Ulrich II von Hagen-Münzenberg granted the monastery to his aunt Lukardis von Ziegenhain and his sister Lukardis, transforming it from Benedictine to Cistercian order.

The monastery established its influence throughout Dreieich to Frankfurt and Wetterau regions, receiving donations from noble families and citizens of imperial cities.

The monastery complex now functions as a farmstead with a beer garden, featuring seven information stations that detail its extensive historical background.

The monastery controlled wine production in Dietzenbach during the 14th century, with all yields exclusively reserved for the abbess.
