Bavarian Congregation
The Bavarian Congregation is a congregation of the Benedictine Confederation consisting (with one exception) of monasteries in Bavaria, Germany.
It was founded on 26 August 1684 by Pope Innocent XI (1676-1689).
First Congregation
Until the secularisation of Bavaria in 1803 the following abbeys belonged to the congregation:
- Andechs Abbey
- Attel Abbey
- Benediktbeuern Abbey
- Ensdorf Abbey
- Frauenzell Abbey
- Mallersdorf Abbey
- Michelfeld Abbey
- Oberaltaich Abbey
- Prüfening Abbey
- St. Emmeram's Abbey
- Reichenbach Abbey
- Rott Abbey
- Scheyern Abbey
- Tegernsee Abbey
- Thierhaupten Abbey
- Weihenstephan Abbey
- Weissenohe Abbey
- Weltenburg Abbey
- Wessobrunn Abbey
All these monasteries were dissolved in 1803, however, and the congregation lapsed at that point.
Second Congregation
The congregation was re-established by Pope Pius IX on 5 February 1858, comprising to begin with three monasteries re-founded by Ludwig I of Bavaria: Metten; St. Boniface's Abbey, Munich, with Andechs Priory; and Weltenburg.
