Abbaye d'Auhausen, Benedictine monastery in Auhausen, Germany.

Auhausen Abbey is a Benedictine monastery featuring two square towers topped with pyramidal roofs. Inside stands a three-nave pillar basilica adorned with Renaissance paintings created in 1542.

Founded in the first third of the 12th century by the local noble family of Auhausen as a Hirsau reform monastery, it was first mentioned in a papal privilege of Innocent II in 1136. In 1530 Abbot Georg Truchseß von Wetzhausen fled to Eichstätt during the Reformation, ending monastic life.

The monastery was long confused with Kloster Anhausen an der Brenz, and the founding legend names Count Ernst von Truhendingen and Hartmann von Lobdeburg (d. 958). The annual "Große Spend", a bread and money donation to the poor on the fourth Sunday of Lent, drew many needy people and was continued by the monastery administrator's office after the abbey was dissolved.

The former abbey church of St. Mary, now the Evangelical parish church, stands on Klosterstraße in Auhausen between Oettingen and Wassertrüdingen. The south tower dates from 1334. Visitors should not confuse the site with the similarly named monastery at Anhausen an der Brenz, a mix-up documented since the Middle Ages.

The abbey is regularly confused with the similarly named Kloster Anhausen an der Brenz in Baden-Württemberg, a monastery of the same age. The mix-up dates back to the Middle Ages. The church of St. Mary, shown on Auhausen's coat of arms, is the village's landmark.
