Kornelimünster Abbey

Kornelimünster Abbey , also known as Abbey of the Abbot Saint Benedict of Aniane and Pope Cornelius, is a Benedictine monastery that has been integrated since 1972. The abbey is located in Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.

The monastery was founded in 814 on the river Inde by Benedict of Aniane, an adviser to Emperor Louis the Pious . The monastery was at first known as the "Monastery of the Redeemer on the Inde". In the mid-9th century, the monastery became an Imperial abbey and received large endowments of land, as well as Biblical or Saviour's relics: a loincloth, a sudarium and two shroud-like cloths.
