History
The beginnings of the Cluniac Priory of St. Ulrich rich in the investiture controversy back as with the Regensburg Ulrich of Zell ( † 1093 ), a monk of Cluny, on the western edge of the Black Forest, in Möhlintal, founded a priory of the Burgundian abbey. Here Ulrich used an older, donated before 1072 monastic community back on the Tuniberg ( at Ober-/Unterrimsingen ), which was relocated again 1077-1080 by Grüningen ( at Oberrimsingen ). With the takeover of the monastic community by Ulrich this already existing connections to Cluny benefited, the built of precious Free Hesso of Eichstetten (see also Lords of Eichstetten ) and Rimsingen, the founder of the monastery Tuniberg, and the Baden Margrave Hermann I († 1074 ) had. At the instigation Ulrichs the monastic community moved around again, rising by 1087 to Zell in Möhlintal, a locality on the had a ( abbey) "cell" of the Abbey of St. Gallen found in the year 868. From the Bishop of Basel Burkhard von Fenis ( Bishop of 1072-1107 ) the Priory acquired the property in the area of cell; certainly was a lot to pay to clearing land here.
The only Cluniac monastery of the Rhine became quite satisfactory in the subsequent period. To monastic manorial estate was im Breisgau, in Alsace and in Ortenau, the Priory had, among other parishes in Grüningen, Wolfenweiler, Bollschweil and high village, while the controversial parish Achkarren was in 1315 exchanged for the in Feuerbach. The monastery bailiwick was in the hands of the Counts of Nymburk, the bishops of Strasbourg ( 1200), the Hohenstaufen Kings ( 1236 ), the counts of Freiburg and the Austrian Dukes ( 1445 ). The 13th century saw the decline of the monastic community. Repeated, emanating from Cluny visitations witness a much reduced number of four to seven monks next to the Prior of the monastery, a certain recovery is detectable under Paul Prior of kunheim (1448-1489), but during the Reformation period the monastic community lost their independence. Ortisei - the name of the monastery after its founder prevailed during the 14th century - was in 1547 priory of the monastery of St. Georgen, 1560 priory of the abbey of St. Peter, incorporated in 1578 the Abbey of St. Peter. 1806, the priory of St. Ulrich was secularized together with the monastic community in St. Peter.
Built by Peter Thumb on behalf of the abbot Benedict Wülberz baroque church was followed by some medieval predecessors. Various altar consecration, demolitions, repairs and new buildings have survived. Worth seeing are a powerful Romanesque Taufbrunnenschale from the 11-12. Century and a Madonna of the 13th century.
The Archdiocese of Freiburg operates here since 1949 in the former monastery buildings an adult education center for the rural area, the Catholic Landvolkshochschule Ortisei.
