Kloster Marienburg

Kloster Marienburg is a monastic community in Abenberg with spaces for prayer, residential quarters for the sisters, and functional areas for daily work. The complex integrates housing and service buildings where communal and spiritual life unfolds.

The monastery was founded in 1142 by Wolfram von Abenberg and developed as a spiritual center. A major turning point came in 1806 when local citizens purchased the church and buildings during the secularization period.

The sisters shape monastic life through daily rituals and handwork such as embroidery produced in their workshops. Visitors encounter an active community devoted to spiritual practice and practical service.

Visitors can attend religious ceremonies and explore the grounds during set opening hours. It helps to check visiting times in advance and be respectful of the active monastic community.

The monastery marks the endpoint of the Stilla-Weg, a walking path that connects Wolframs-Eschenbach to Abenberg through the Rangau region. This trail offers hikers a route that terminates at a spiritual location.
