Benediktinerinnenkloster Bonn

Benediktinerinnenkloster Bonn is a monastery perched on Venusberg where Benedictine nuns carry out their daily routines. The buildings occupy an elevated location and include prayer spaces, residential areas, and utility structures.

The monastery was founded in 1857 in downtown Bonn and moved to Endenich in 1888, where it remains today. During World War II, the community played a role in helping those in need throughout the city.

The monastery is a place where Benedictine nuns have lived according to their order's rules for generations, structuring daily life through regular prayer. Visitors can sense the quiet and order that shapes life here.

The monastery is open to visitors at certain times, especially for those wishing to attend prayer services or spiritual activities. It is recommended to inquire beforehand since access times are limited and tied to the nuns' religious activities.

The nuns worked in hospitals and care facilities throughout the city during wartime, contributing to medical care. This form of service was central to the community and continued the Benedictine tradition of caring for others.
