Schlüsselau Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Under Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Gebsattel, who was also committed to the expansion of the Giechburg, the church was restored in the Renaissance style starting in 1603. The nuns' choir and the elevated nave, typical of the Cistercian nuns, were omitted during the reconstruction. The rebuilt convent building received an ornate facade with a Renaissance-style gate and a prestigious forecourt.[7]

The church's furnishings date from around 1730, with Martin Walther from Bamberg contributing to the work. Further construction work took place between 1753 and 1765, and the westwork was rebuilt in 1895.

Several furnishings from the monastery period were also returned to the church. In the choir, formerly located in the center of the presbytery, is the cenotaph of the church's founder, Gottfried von Schlüsselberg, with a large coat of arms of the Schlüsselberg family. The inscription reads "Anno domini MCCCVIII nonas Junii obiit dilectus Gotfridus de Sluzzelberg fundator ecclesie istius," meaning: In the year of our Lord 1308, on June 5, the honorable Gottfried von Schlüsselberg, the founder of this church, died (see image).

The altarpiece on the high altar was retained, but was extended in height and painted over; the secondary figures on the high altar are by Franz Anton Schlott. The Sorrowful Trinity from the high altar of 1603, also known as the Mercy Seat, is located on the southern inner outer wall. A larger-than-life crucifix with the symbols of the evangelists at the ends of the cross dates from the 14th century. A Vespers group is dated around 1420; it is a Nuremberg work made of fired clay. Twelve Passion reliefs from the 16th century were probably originally part of an altar. A painting depicting the holy clan follows the tradition of Dürer's followers from the 16th century.

Eberhard IV von Schlüsselberg founded the end of the 13th century, a Cistercian monastery, which was dissolved after the destruction of the monastery and church in the Margrave War in 1553 by the Bishop Bishop. 1601-1603 was the reconstruction and Schlüsselau becomes parish. At this time also the pilgrimages to the Painful Trinity begin. In the course of the Baroque transformation, the winged altar is dismantled and walled into the side wall. In the 19th century a neo-Gothic painting took place; Stations of the Cross and new pictures in the side altars in Nazarene style.
The monastery building is now used as a rectory and parish center.

August 8, 2021,An der Reichen Ebrach und Aisch zum Kreuzbergkeller
Family bike tour starting in Hirschaid. The tour took us in the valley of the rich Ebrach to Pommersfelden Castle. Then we switched to the Aisch valley and were still in the Kreuzberg cellars. Then we went back to Hirschaid on the RMD Canal.

The golden hour was perfectly used today. Through the Aischgrund we went into the Regnitztal, to Köttmannsdorf, from there into the valley of the rich Ebrach. Here to Pommersfelden and then back again. I had to really step on the gas towards the end. 😊🙋‍♂️

We started in Hirschaid at the indoor swimming pool. Our route took us over Rothensand, Schnaid, Stiebarlimbach and Aisch over a few hills to Höchstadt/Aisch. In the wonderful summer weather we treated ourselves to a cup of coffee at the market square. There are many stork nests on the houses all around, all of which are occupied.

Continue along the canal and finally a short detour to a cellar.🍺
