The origins of the monastery date back to 1628, when the Jesuit order commenced construction of the mission in Germersheim. This institution served the Jesuits for an extended period as a center for their religious and pastoral work. Over the centuries, its use changed, and the mission was later continued by Capuchins, who preserved and carried on the site's legacy.
