Highlight • Historical Site

The town of Seligenstadt am Main is very popular with cyclists not only because of the well-known local ice cream parlors. There is also much to discover. For example, the Einhard basilica with the beautiful monastery garden invite you to linger. In addition to the monastery complex there are still many buildings to admire with half-timbered and also the town hall, the city fortifications, the water tower or one of the five museums are tourist attractions.

Basilica of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, Seligenstadt

Highlight • Religious Site

Seligenstadt Monastery was a Benedictine abbey in Seligenstadt that existed from the 9th to the 19th century. The monastery complex is located on the banks of the Main in the immediate vicinity of the ruins of the Seligenstadt Palace, historically on the edge but within the ring of walls of the city of Seligenstadt, and today in its center in the eastern district of Offenbach in Hesse.

Einhard († 840), biographer of Charlemagne, received the settlement "Obermulinheim", the original name of the place, as a gift from Charlemagne's son, Louis the Pious, in 815. Einhard founded the Seligenstadt Monastery here around 828 and became its first abbot after the death of his wife Imma in 830. In Rome, he acquired relics of the early Christian martyrs Marcellinus and Peter in an unclear manner, which he initially housed in the Steinbach Monastery and then transferred to Seligenstadt. Einhard set up a convent of clergy to institutionalize the cult of the saints and to look after the pilgrims.

There are hardly any reliable sources from the period between about 850 and 1000. The clerical foundation was probably converted into a Benedictine monastery around 1000. The monastery was directly under imperial control until 1002, when King Henry II transferred it to the Würzburg bishop Henry I as a fief. In 1045 the monastery received the right to mint coins from Emperor Henry III. In 1063 King Henry IV handed the monastery over as a private monastery to the Archbishop of Mainz, to whose domain it belonged until secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. From 1051 to 1122 the Archbishops of Mainz were also abbots of the monastery in personal union.

The monastery complex corresponded to the ideal model of a Benedictine monastery according to the monastery plan of St. Gallen.

Went on a great bike tour with the girls. From Mainaschaff to Klein Krotzenburg, always along the Main River. On the way back, we took the ferry across the Main in Seligenstadt. Then we made a quick stop at the Marienhof in Kleinostheim... the pace was wearing me out 😅😉
