Conference Dinner in the monastery Bebenhausen (Tuesday, 19.09.2017)
Attractively set in a peaceful valley, Bebenhausen Monastery is one of the best-preserved Cistercian abbeys in southern Germany. Founded between 1180 and 1183 by Rudolf, Count Palatine of Tübingen, the abbey was taken over by Cistercians a few years later – and promptly developed into one of the wealthiest monasteries in the region. After the Reformation swept through in 1534, and a boarding school was established in 1560, the number of monks dwindled, until the monastery was finally dissolved in 1648. Today, surrounded by the Schönbuch nature reserve, Bebenhausen vividly conveys the atmosphere of a Medieval Cistercian monastery – offering an experience unmatched anywhere else in southern Germany.
The conference Dinner will be held in the magnificent rooms of the monastery Bebenhausen. Since the monastery is outside of Tübingen there will be shuttle busses bringing the guests to the dinner and back to Tübingen afterwards. Detailed information will follow.
