History

The monastery St.Trudpert goes medieval tradition according to the holy Trudpert, a missionary in the Southern Irish and martyr ( 7th century, first half) back. He built a hermitage in the Munster in the Black Forest, which was probably transformed only in ( incipient? ) 9th century to a monastery. The monastic community has been supported by no later than 900 of the noble family of the Upper Alsace Liutfride, for 901 and 965 shortly after translations are attested by Trudpertreliquien. On April 3, 1144 Pope Lucius II takes the monastery St.Trudpert in the protection of the Papal See and confirmed its liberties and possessions. Well at this time existing intrinsically religious ties to the Strasbourg diocese reflected in the 13th century in patronage rights of the bishops resist. Church Reform and the Investiture Controversy seems to have left no traces in St.Trudpert, the basic rule expanded mainly in the Munster, im Breisgau, in the Ortenau and Alsace from, and in the late Middle Ages came a certain concentration of ownership and so the monastery eg in Tunsel, at the output of the Munster, the local rule gained. There were a church owned the parishes in Munster, Grunern, Krozingen, Tunsel, running, among other things Biengen Also, the rising in the Middle Ages silver mining could be used by the spiritual community. It developed on the basis of mining the town of Münster below the Abbey, which was destroyed in 1346 along with the castle of the lords of Staufen Scharfstein of Freiburg gunmen and as a result of this attack and a creek flood that aroused the part of this town, was received. The economic decline in the second half of the 14th century overcame the monastery apparently during the abbacy of Paul I ( 1435-1455 ). 1525 was drawn through looting affected the peasant war St.Trudpert.

At an unknown date won the lords of Staufen, Ministeriale of the Dukes of Zahringen, Vogt rights over St.Trudpert. Monastic forgeries are the reason that the Staufener not be known until 1218 for a reliable certificate document. A top Bailiwick of Count (or Duke ) of Habsburg is occupied to 1277 for the first time, so that the lords of Staufen acted up to their extinction (1602 ) as Habsburg Untervögte. The Habsburg upper bailiwick also meant that the monastery part of the front- Austrian provincial government was thus Habsburg prelate monastery. As such, it made with the secularization of the year 1806 and then came to the Grand Duchy of Baden.
