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.

gollark: Apple have actually been doing really amazing work, but they still have worse power constraints.
gollark: Don't think so, no.
gollark: "So you can get movies, but you can't actually play them in some regions, or unapproved devices/software, or devices with one of the *two existing* x86 CPU manufacturers, or probably unapproved OSes, and can't back them up. Sounds great, right?"
