The Eberbach Monastery, with its array of impressive buildings especially from the 12th to the 14th century, is the most important medieval architectural work of art in the State of Hesse.
In addition, Baroque architectural elements have been preserved in the Eberbach Monastery buildings, which, when combined with Romanesque and early Gothic architecture, form a unique architectural ensemble with striking expressive power.
The Cistercian Eberbach Monastery was founded by St. Bernhard, who sent a group of monks from his monastery in Clairvaux in Burgundy to this location in the Rheingau in 1136.
The lives of the monks rigorously followed the strict Rule of St. Benedict and were characterized by the most ascetic of living conditions and the unvarying daily routine of choir prayer and hard work. Soon after its founding, the Eberbach Monastery developed a significant spiritual influence, and it became the "mother abbey" of four other monasteries during the first 100 years of its existence. In addition, the Monastery was a gigantic business enterprise which owned much land extending far beyond the borders of the Rheingau. Although less than 5 % of this land were used for winegrowing, this activity was the most important source of income for the Monastery. The Eberbach monks made a valuable contribution to the science of winegrowing.
Become enthusiastic about the fine bouquet and the aromatic taste of the wonderful wines served there. All of the wines have been produced by the Hessische Staatsweinguter Kloster Eberbach, which today still cultivate a key area of the former Monastery vineyards.
