Klosterschule Roßleben, Monastic school in Roßleben, Germany.
Klosterschule Roßleben is a secondary school offering both boarding and day facilities within a historic monastery building beside the Unstrut River. The institution serves approximately 390 students, with about 110 residential spaces for those who live on campus.
Count Louis II of Wippra founded an Augustinian abbey in 1140, which was later converted into a Cistercian monastery. In 1554, the site began its transformation into an educational institution that continues today.
The school blends classical learning principles with contemporary subjects, keeping alive educational traditions that span more than four centuries of German academic life. Students and staff work within walls that themselves carry this long scholarly legacy.
The school is located in Roßleben along the Unstrut River and is accessible by public transport or car. Visitors should contact the institution in advance, as visits require prior arrangement.
The school's archives hold original documents from 1142, including a papal confirmation from Pope Innocent II. These rare records show the earliest days of the site as a religious community.
