Kreuzherrenkloster, Medieval monastery in Memmingen, Germany

The Kreuzherrenkloster is a former monastery of the Hospital Brothers of the Holy Spirit in Memmingen. Its church of St. Peter and Paul, rebuilt after 1477 as a two-nave, four-bay late Gothic hall church, was baroquified from 1709 with Wessobrunn stucco and ceiling paintings. The complex forms a three-wing layout open to the Hallhof, with a classical facade added to the north.

The monastery was probably founded in 1210 by Count Heinrich von Neuffen-Weißenhorn and his wife Hedwig, who set up a hospital by the Kalchtor and gave it to the Hospitaller order of the Holy Spirit. After a fire in 1223 it was rebuilt and first mentioned in a town charter. From 1353 the town council shared its administration, and in 1365 the complex was split into a Lower and an Upper Hospital.

The interior features ceiling paintings by Johann Friedrich Sichelbein alongside baroque stucco work created between 1709 and 1711. These decorations shape how visitors experience the space today.

The building now hosts exhibitions, concerts, and a music school throughout its spaces. Visitors should know that certain areas may not be accessible when classes or events are happening.

The 1998–2003 restoration removed a wooden intermediate floor and crane that had been installed in the church nave when it served as a goods hall, and it rebuilt the Dürftigenstube, the early 15th-century two-aisle vaulted hall that now operates as a café.
