Kloster des Heiligen Hiob von Potschajew, Russian Orthodox monastery in Obermenzing, Munich, Germany.

The monastery complex stands near Blutenburg Castle, featuring a church dedicated to Saint Job of Pochaev with traditional Orthodox icons and frescoes.

Founded in 1945 by more than 40 monks who fled westward from Eastern Slovakia to escape the advancing Red Army after World War II.

The monastery maintains daily services starting at 4 AM with morning prayers, following Orthodox traditions and conducting liturgies in Church Slavonic.

Located at Hofbauernstraße 26 in Munich's Obermenzing district, the monastery operates a candle workshop and printing house for Orthodox literature.

The monastery plans to relocate to Schloss Seyfriedsberg due to building conditions, marking a significant change in its nearly 80-year presence in Munich.
