With the construction of the convent in Gemünden in the 1950s, this place was the Provincial House of the Province of Bavaria until the establishment of the Province of Europa Mitte. There are two communities on the premises – the Community Elisabeth (the sisters’ nursing home) and the Convent Community of Francis.
The community cultivates good co-operation and hospitality for guests and visitors. In addition, various celebrations and events, such as retreats, jubilees, spiritual programs etc., are held here by the ‘Region of Bavaria’. For the sisters who still live outside the convent, this place is also their home convent.
Most of the sisters still have a small works within the convent, but occasionally they also work outside the ‘convent walls’.
Thanks to the various services and organizations offered in the house, the convent is also a meeting place for the different generations – from early childhood development, kindergarten to secondary school, day care, retirement home and the sisters’ nursing home – they all meet again and again on this large campus.
In addition, external institutions are also housed in the vacant rooms.
