Erzbischöfliches Studienheim St. Fidelis

The Erzbischöfliches Studienheim St. Fidelis stands as a three-wing building complex at the edge of Sigmaringen, featuring modern architectural elements from 1933.

The institution began in 1856 when Pastor Thomas Geiselhart purchased Fidelis von Sigmaringen's birth house and started operations with eleven students.

Students at the seminary followed a structured daily schedule that included academic studies, religious education, and communal activities from early morning until evening.

The building transformed into a mental health facility in 2004 after serving as an educational institution for nearly 150 years due to declining enrollment.

During World War II, the seminary preserved its existence by converting into a military hospital, preventing complete takeover by the Nazi regime.
