Dominikanerkloster St. Albert, Dominican monastery in Wahren district, Leipzig, Germany

The Dominikanerkloster St. Albert consists of a hall church with plastered brickwork and a bell tower on the eastern side of the complex.

The original Dominican monastery, founded in 1231 as Paulinerkirche, remained active until 1539 when the Protestant Reformation led to its closure.

The monastery maintains a reference library containing 5000 volumes covering theological, philosophical, and artistic subjects for academic research.

Regular masses occur daily at 8:00 AM from Monday to Saturday, with additional Sunday services at 8:15 AM and 10:00 AM in the monastery church.

During 1942-1945, Superior Aurelius Arkenau provided shelter to deserters, Jews, communists, and forced laborers, offering medical assistance and forged passports.
