Maria Engelport Monastery, Cultural heritage monastery in Treis-Karden, Germany
Located on the edge of the Hunsrück in the Flaumbach Valley, Maria Engelport Monastery features traditional Benedictine architecture with stone walls and simple designs.
Knight Emelrich of Monreal established the monastery in 1220, initially for Cistercians, before it was refounded in 1262 by Philipp von Wildenburg for Dominican nuns.
The monastery functioned as a training center for missionaries heading to German South-West Africa and later served as a Novitiate for the German Province.
The monastery maintains regular prayer schedules and welcomes visitors for guided tours through its buildings, gardens, and historical exhibition rooms.
Two notable oblates, Friedrich Lorenz and Engelbert Rehling, who faced persecution during the National Socialist period, received their initiation into the Order here.
