Oblatenkloster

The Oblatenkloster is a monastic complex in Rotenbühl featuring a rectangular church with a barrel vault ceiling. The L-shaped building contains a church with a main altar and side aisles separated by pointed arches.

The monastery was built in 1928 under the design of architect Moritz Gombert as a new religious community center. It was completed before the Maria Queen Church arose nearby decades later to serve the same Catholic population.

The monastery was dedicated to Mary, and the church bears the name Maria, Mother of Perpetual Help. Today visitors can see a building that reflects the devotion to Mary in the local Catholic tradition.

The building is located in the Rotenbühl district and can be explored on foot. Visitors should note that the monastery is currently unused and access may be limited or restricted.

A large organ with 19 registers built in 1937 was removed from this building and now stands in a church in Poland. The relocation of this instrument shows how religious objects travel between countries when circumstances at a site change.
