Alexianerkloster Aachen, Catholic monastery in Aachen, Germany
The Alexianerkloster includes a church building and hospital complex, featuring a modern architectural style from its 1929 reconstruction by architect Wilhelm Pauen.
The monastery received its first official mention in 1391 and gained recognition during the plague years when brothers cared for the sick and buried the dead.
The monastery emblem displays a pelican, raven, and spade, representing the Pauline message of Christ's love and the brothers' dedication to helping others.
The monastery maintains archives documenting regional healthcare history and offers guided visits through its architectural complex at Alexianergraben street.
This monastery survived the French occupation from 1795 to 1815 due to its medical services, making it one of few religious institutions spared from secularization.
