Mödingen Abbey

The first documented mention of Kloster Mödingen dates back to 1239. It was consecrated to the Dominican nuns and bore the patronage of the Assumption of Mary. Over the centuries, the monastery developed under the territorial rule of the Wittelsbach family, which later passed to the Principality of Palatinate-Neuburg. The current monastery complex and its church were built between 1716 and 1721 by Dominikus Zimmermann, with the stucco work and frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmermann. In 1802, the monastery was secularized, but the convent was allowed to remain in the buildings. From 1843, Mödingen was re-settled by Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen and now serves as the provincial house for one of their German provinces. In 2015, a fire occurred, destroying the Margareta Ebner Chapel and the sacristy, which were subsequently restored in the following years.

Kloster Mödingen is situated in the municipality of Mödingen, a district of Dillingen an der Donau in Bavaria, Germany. The complex is located at an elevation of approximately 450 meters above sea level.

Today, Maria Medingen serves as the provincial house for one of the German provinces of the Dillingen Franciscan Sisters. A Montessori kindergarten is housed in an annex building.
