Edith-Stein-Karmel Tübingen, Carmelite monastery in Tübingen, Germany.
The monastery stands near the old town of Tübingen on the Neckarhalde, positioned high above the Neckar River with its distinct architectural design.
Bishop Georg Moser of Rottenburg-Stuttgart established the Edith-Stein-Karmel on December 3, 1978, naming it after the Carmelite saint and martyr Edith Stein.
The Carmelite sisters devoted their lives to prayer and solitude within the community, following the traditions of the Teresian Carmel order.
The monastery functioned until 2011 when, with only two remaining sisters, the facility ceased its religious operations and transferred to the Anna Sisters.
The chapel features specially crafted stained glass windows designed by artist Sieger Köder, adding artistic elements to the spiritual space.
