Mosbach Abbey

It is first mentioned in a reference in the records of Reichenau Abbey in 825, but in the context of the other monastic foundations in the Odenwald, it seems likely that it was also founded in the previous century.

The next record of it is in 976, when Emperor Otto II granted it to Worms Cathedral chapter as a private episcopal monastery.

Their congregations form part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Freiburg and the United Protestant Church in Baden, respectively.

The wall was pierced and gates and a few steps were built, which now connect the Protestant and Catholic sides.

The friary was dissolved in 1808 during the secularisation in Baden, and the buildings were reused for administrative and local government purposes.
