The Bavarian Congregation is a congregation of the Benedictine Confederation consisting (with one exception) of monasteries in Bavaria, Germany.
It was founded on 26 August 1684 by Pope Innocent XI (1676-1689).




First Congregation


Until the secularisation of Bavaria in 1803 the following abbeys belonged to the congregation:

Andechs Abbey
Attel Abbey
Benediktbeuern Abbey
Ensdorf Abbey
Frauenzell Abbey
Mallersdorf Abbey
Michelfeld Abbey
Oberaltaich Abbey
Prüfening Abbey
St. Emmeram's Abbey
Reichenbach Abbey
Rott Abbey
Scheyern Abbey
Tegernsee Abbey
Thierhaupten Abbey
Weihenstephan Abbey
Weissenohe Abbey
Weltenburg Abbey
Wessobrunn Abbey
All these monasteries were dissolved in 1803, however, and the congregation lapsed at that point.




Second Congregation


The congregation was re-established by Pope Pius IX on 5 February 1858, comprising to begin with three monasteries re-founded by Ludwig I of Bavaria: Metten; St. Boniface's Abbey, Munich, with Andechs Priory; and Weltenburg.
