Dietramszell Abbey

The first mention of Kloster Dietramszell dates back to 1107. It was likely founded before 1098 by Udalschalk, abbot of the Benedictine monastery of Tegernsee, and dedicated to Saints Mary and Martin. In the 14th century, the monastery acquired its own land and in 1330 received the right of lower jurisdiction over its subjects and their properties from Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian. Following economic difficulties, including a fire in 1766 and the effects of the Seven Years' War, the monastery was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization. Half of the complex became private property, while the other half initially served as a central monastery for the Poor Clares of Munich. From 1831, Salesian Sisters from Indersdorf occupied this part of the buildings. In 1858, the Salesian Sisters acquired the entire complex and operated a girls' secondary school there until 1993.
