Karmelitenkloster Esslingen

The foundation of the Carmelite Monastery in Esslingen dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Carmelite order settled in the flourishing imperial city. Over the centuries, the monastery developed into an important religious and cultural center. It survived various eras and changes, including the Reformation and secularization, which threatened or ended the existence of many other monasteries. The precise circumstances of its foundation and the development of the monastery are closely linked to the history of Esslingen.
