Stuben Monastery - The ruins at the feet of the Bremmer Calmont

In this video I show the Stuben monastery ruins at the feet of the Calmont vineyard.

Episode: 200
Idea and implementation: Markus Köbler
It lies truly majestically, the ruins of the collegiate church can be found on a peninsula near Bremm on the Moselle. This peninsula is nothing more than a loop of the Moselle, perhaps even the most famous loop of the Moselle, because the Bremmer Calmont towers above it, which, with a slope of over 65 degrees, is the steepest vineyard in Europe and one of the steepest locations on earth.
Today you can only find the outer walls of the former monastery church; the monastery complex used to consist of several buildings that were attached to the church. The church that can still be seen here today was only rebuilt at the end of the 17th century.
In recent decades, extensive excavations have been carried out here in order to find information about the pre-monastic settlement and the development of the monastery. It was recognized that over the centuries, when the monastery complex was newly built or converted, existing older components repeatedly became part of the newer buildings.
The south side of the church that is visible today stands on the foundations of the previous Romanesque church from the 12th century. There used to be a cloister on the south side of this Romanesque church, to which a paved driveway led in the east. In this area, remains of the cross chapel from the 13th century were discovered and uncovered. This cross chapel was a place of pilgrimage for many centuries. A relic was kept here that is said to have contained wood particles from the cross of Christ. This relic was captured by the knight Henry of Ulmen during a crusade in Constantinople and bequeathed it to the monastery.
And so it is hardly surprising that the Kreuzkapelle was left out of the construction work in the 17th century. It was possible to reconstruct that the Romanesque church was built on the remains of a castle, which in turn emerged from the ruins of a massive Roman building. In addition to the Roman remains, early medieval traces were also found, so that it can be stated that the place was probably continuously inhabited from Roman times until the end of the monastic period.
At the end of the 18th century, the monastery, which was basically founded as a large women's convent, was converted into a free women's monastery after the monastery had repeatedly struggled with constant violations of the vow of personal poverty since the 14th century. But just a few years later this was lifted again before the monastery building was auctioned off for demolition in 1820.
At the beginning of the 21st century, a support association set itself the task of renovating the ruins and transforming them into a worthy event location. After the renovation, the former monastery ship can be used again for events. It is possible to create a roof when it rains as well as to provide lighting. Concerts in particular take place here, of which the Mosel Music Festival is one of the best known.

Merci, da kann ich jetzt herrlich mit Wissen gluckscheißen, wenn dieses Frühjahr der Bremmer Calmont auf der Wanderroute an der Mosel ansteht ;-)

Glückwunsch zum 200 s ten Video. Diese Ruine hab ich beim Klettern über den Calmont aus der Ferne gesehen. Deshalb ist es sehr interessant, die Geschichte des Bauwerkes und seiner Vorbauwerke zu erfahren. Gut finde ich, dass man den Text des Videos nochmal nachlesen kann. Danke für die Mühe und viele Grüße, HCF

Vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung und deine Glückwünsche! Es ist auch aus der Perspektive des Weinbergs eine beeindruckende Kulisse!

Video ist aber sehr aktualisierungs bedürftig. Es hat sich an der Ruine Kloster Stuben so einiges verändert. Was man allerdings am besten erkennen kann wenn man auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite steht. Die bunten Bilder die Fenstern mit bunten Scheiben erinnern. Was ich noch sehr schön finde sind die dortigen kulturellen Veranstaltungen und im Sommer kann man von der Ruine aus sehr schön an dem dortigen Moselstrand ins Moselwasser zur Abkühlung.

Danke für das Feedback! Ein Video entspricht immer dem Stand, an dem die Aufnahmen gemacht wurden. Ich verfolge nicht das Ziel einer tagesaktuellen Nachrichtenseite. Wenn sich so viel dort getan hat, danke ich für den Hinweis und freue mich, es mir nochmal live anzuschauen.
