Tennenbach abbey, Cistercian abbey ruins in Emmendingen, Germany
The stone remains of Tennenbach Abbey stand in the district of Freiamt, with the 13th-century hospital chapel as the main preserved structure.
Established in 1158 by monks from Frienisberg Abbey, Tennenbach operated under the name Porta Coeli before joining Salem Abbey in 1182.
The monastery followed Cistercian principles of agricultural development and religious education, influencing the surrounding Baden-Württemberg region for centuries.
Visitors can reach the abbey site through marked paths in Emmendingen, with information panels explaining the layout of the former religious complex.
The abbey church materials were repurposed to build Saint Louis parish church in Freiburg, which later sustained destruction during World War II.
