Benediktinerabteil Ettal
Sight / monastery
The Benedictine Ettal Abbey, also known as Ettal Monastery, is a significant monastic complex in Ettal, Germany. The monastery was founded in 1330 by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian and has a history going back almost 700 years. It is located about 10 km from Garmisch-Partenkirchen and is a well-known tourist attraction. The monastery church is dedicated to Saint Mary and houses the famous image of the Virgin Mary, the so-called Ettal Madonna, which has always been the destination of pilgrimages.
The monastery complex is an important example of the South German Baroque and consists of the monastery church, the basilica and other buildings. After years of planning and construction work, the monastery church was made barrier-free and is an important attraction for believers and tourists alike.
Ettal Monastery also has a rich history, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when pilgrimage to Ettal flourished. During the War of the Spanish Succession, the miraculous image, a statue of the Virgin Mary, was venerated in various churches and played an important role in the history of the monastery.
In the 20th century, the Ettal Monastery also played a role in the history of Germany. During the Second World War, some members of the Ettal community were involved in the conspiracy against Hitler. The German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer spent a few months in the monastery and worked on his book !Ethics!.
The Ettal Monastery is also home to Benediktiner Weißbier GmbH, which brews premium beers according to the original Benedictine recipe in cooperation with the Bitburger Braugruppe.
