Franziskaner, Franciscan monastery in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
The Franciscan monastery complex includes a Gothic church that underwent Baroque modifications, featuring frescoes depicting scenes from Saint Francis's life.
The monastery, established in 1222, served as a religious center until 1809 and later transformed into a Catholic community and administrative center.
The monastery's church contains artwork by J. Wannenmacher and represents the architectural evolution from Gothic to Baroque styles in southern Germany.
The building now houses Catholic institutions, including the St. Francis parish office and various counseling services for the Schwäbisch Gmünd deanery district.
In 1736, the monastery founded a school that later developed into the Gymnasium in Schmalzgrube, contributing to education in the region.
