    Bethlehem Abbey was a Franciscan monastery founded in 1648 and consecrated in 1655 in the forest of the Ville 1.5 km southwest of Oberaußem near Bergheim in the Rhineland. It was laid down in 1806. A branch of the Elisabethinnen of the same name was established on the site in 1898/99, which continued until 1964 and was demolished in 1967 due to the lignite mining there.
