Schäftlarn Abbey

During the next two centuries the monastery grew as a result of various gifts and endowments (among them the estates of Schwabing and Hesselohe).

[2] In 1140, Bishop Otto of Freising refounded it as a Premonstratensian monastery, with canons from Ursberg Abbey.

Schäftlarn reached a high point in the cultivation of arts in the eighteenth century.

[3] In 1866 King Ludwig II of Bavaria restored possession to the Benedictines, who set up a secondary school ("Gymnasium") here.

Schäftlarn Abbey is the starting point for the first stage of a Route of Santiago de Compostela.

[citation needed] In February 2022, two S-Bahn trains collided head-on, resulting in one fatality and at least eighteen injured, some seriously.
