Klarissenkloster Pfullingen, Medieval monastery in Pfullingen, Germany

The monastery complex includes a western church section with early Gothic wall paintings and a preserved communication lattice from the thirteenth century.

Founded in 1250 by two noble sisters, the monastery received papal permission to follow the Poor Clares rule from Pope Innocent IV in 1252.

The monastery held 54 nuns in 1413, primarily from noble families and later accepted daughters from wealthy local merchant families.

The monastery church transformed into a concert and exhibition space in 1981, making it accessible for modern cultural activities.

The original speaking grill from 1250 remains intact, allowing nuns to communicate with visitors while maintaining their enclosed lifestyle.
