Klosterkirche „Zur unbefleckten Empfängnis“ Im späten 12. Jahrhundert wurden die Grundmauern für eine dreischiffige romanische Basilika gelegt, Teile dieser Grundmauern, nämlich die der Chorapsiden, konnten bei Grabungen im Klostergarten gefunden werden. Am Mauerwerk sind Spolien der romanischen Basilika zu erkennen. Als die alte romanische Klosterkirche 1691 abgebrochen war, begann der Neubau nach den Plänen von Wolfgang und Georg Dientzenhofer, der Rohbau wurde 1696 vollendet. Bei der Prämonstratenser-Klosterkirche zur Unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariä handelt es sich um eine Emporen-Wandpfeilerhalle mit eingezogenem Chor. Sowohl Kapellen wie Emporen sind mit Quertonnen gewölbt. Den Saalraum deckt eine abgeflachte Stichkappentonne. An den Stirnen der Wandpfeiler stehen Doppelpilaster. Diese tragen ein kräftiges Gebälk. Typisch für die Klosterkirche ist, daß die Kapellen deutlich höher sind als die darüber liegenden Emporen. Die Oberkante der Emporenbrüstung liegt oberhalb der Oberkante der Gebälkzone. Ein aus Doppelpilastern und einem gedrückten Bogen gebildeter Triumphbogen leitet als Würdeformel vom Saalraum zum Chor. Charakteristisch sind insbesondere die gedrückten, wuchtigen Raumproportionen. Für die Gestaltung und Ausstattung des Innenraums beauftragte Abt Gottfried Blum die italienischen Brüder Carlo Domenico (Stuckateur) und Bartolomeo (Maler) Lucchese. Sie gaben dem Raum mit der schweren barocken Ausgestaltung eine italienische Prägung. Die durch Pilaster und stark hervortretende Gesimse gegliederten Wände gehen scheinbar fließend in die mit schweren Frucht- und Blütengirlanden dekorierte Decke über. Kunstvoll umrahmt heben sich im Langhaus drei großformatige Deckenfresken hervor, die von kleinen, ebenfalls freskierten Medaillons umgeben sind. Im Chorraum ist die Deckendekoration noch dichter und enger zusammengefügt. Carlo Domenico Lucchese fertigte auch den Hochaltar aus Stuck, dieser wurde erst 1714 farbig gefaßt. Das Bild der Immaculata im Hochaltar stammt vermutlich von Antonio Triva, also ebenfalls von einem italienischen Künstler. Nach der Weihe des neuen Gotteshauses 1706 nahm der Innenraum erst nach einigen Jahren seine heutige Gestalt an. In der repräsentativen Vorhalle des eigentlichen Kirchenraums ist das Gründungsereignis des Klosters an der Decke in Szene gesetzt. Flankiert wird die Vorhalle links von der Nepomuk-Kapelle und rechts von der Tauf- oder Silvesterkapelle. Quelle: Auszüge aus www.wikipedia.de

Kloster Speinshart In the year 1145, the childless couple Adelvolk and Richenza von Reifenberg founded Speinshart Monastery. A confirmation document for the monastery was issued by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1163. The first Premonstratensians came to Speinshart from the Premonstratensian monastery of Wilten near Innsbruck in Tyrol. In a protection letter from Pope Alexander II in 1181, the Premonstratensians in Speinshart were officially mentioned for the first time. Twice the monastery was severely damaged: in 1310, a royal army heavily damaged it, and in 1429, the Hussites plundered the monastery. The monastery experienced its first flourishing period in the 15th century under Provost Georg Ochs von Gunzendorf. At that time, Pope Pius II elevated the monastery to an abbey. For a time, Speinshart was the mother abbey for the Tepl Monastery in Bohemia. The Reformation period marked the first turning point in its history. Under Elector Ottheinrich, the Catholic doctrine was replaced by the new Lutheran doctrine throughout the Upper Palatinate in 1556; all Catholic rites and practices were forbidden. With the transfer of the Upper Palatinate to the Calvinist Elector Frederick III, the Speinshart Abbey collapsed, was eventually secularized, and became state property. In 1661, during the reign of Elector Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria, Premonstratensians returned to Speinshart from Steingaden Monastery. In the following decades, the new convent strove for the structural renewal of the collegiate church and the aging convent tract. In 1691, the monastery regained the status of an abbey. Around 1684, the canons of Speinshart responded to the general Baroque popular piety by reviving the medieval pilgrimage to Barbaraberg. In Speinshart, the veneration of the Flagellated Savior also began in the 18th century, as in the Wieskirche near Steingaden. Through secularization in 1803, the monastery and its possessions fell to secular power for the second time. In the following period, the monastery housed, among other things, the rectory, a school, and the forestry office. On September 30, 1921, the Premonstratensian Order bought the monastery complex back from the Bavarian state. On October 2, 1921, Premonstratensians from the Tepl Abbey in Egerland moved in. In 1923, the Apostolic See confirmed the monastery again as an abbey with all rights. Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de
