Wallerstein Abbey

The monastery, dedicated to Saint Anna, was founded in 1761 by Count Philipp Karl von Oettingen-Wallerstein. Originally managed by the Piarists, the monastery's existence ceased in 1803 due to secularization. In 1859, the English Ladies established themselves in Wallerstein and took over the girls' elementary school. The premises became their property in 1866. Around the turn of the century, a lyceum was opened, and the sisters were also involved in the kindergarten. During the Nazi era, they had to discontinue their educational work. After World War II, a girls' secondary school was reopened in 1946, which developed into a girls' Realschule in the early 1960s. The last sisters departed from the monastery in autumn 2008.

Wallerstein Monastery is located in the Donau-Ries district in Bavaria, Germany, at an elevation of approximately 448 meters above sea level.

Following the handover of the school in 2008 by the Maria Ward Sisters, who have been known as Congregatio Jesu since 2004, the former use as a monastery has ended. The buildings now house the Wallerstein Girls' Realschule.
