Kapuzinerkloster Offenburg

After an initial request was denied in 1613, the city of Offenburg revived the project for a Capuchin monastery in 1634. Planning was approved in 1637, and the foundation stone was laid in 1640. Construction commenced in 1641 and was completed by 1645. The consecration, under the patronage of Apostle Matthias, took place in 1647. The monastery was primarily funded by Eucharius Harst, Emperor Ferdinand, and other benefactors. During the Thirty Years' War and the Dutch War, the monastery served as a headquarters. Notably, it was the only building in Offenburg to be spared during the city's destruction in the War of the Palatine Succession in 1689. The monastery was suppressed in 1807, though its official dissolution occurred in 1820.

The former Capuchin Monastery is situated in Offenburg, a city within the Ortenau region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Today, the monastery church is used by the Old Catholic community. The remaining building complex is integrated into the Grimmelshausen-Gymnasium, housing, among other facilities, the school library. The building is considered the oldest surviving structure in Offenburg.
