Rheingausalon & Rheingau Cabinet

up to 25 people

Beschreibung

After the need for representation in the Baroque era did not stop even for the formerly so unworldly Cistercians, an extensive building program was initiated in Eberbach under various abbots, which resulted in very stylish room creations.

The southern part of the convent building was therefore converted into a representative dwelling, of whose former splendor the richly decorated stucco ceilings in the rooms of the side wing still bear witness today. From these rooms one has a wonderful view of the abbot's garden with the prelate's cottage and across the large abbey garden to the gatehouse of the monastery. The two stylish rooms of the former Rheingausalon are also intended to remind visitors of the abbey's importance for the Rheingau region and therefore today bear the names Rheingausalon and Rheingaukabinett.

Hospital Room

up to 79 Personen

Beschreibung

To the north of the early Gothic hospital building, a two-story building was added at the end of the 14th century.

Still the group of the five domed windows on the first floor and the seven cross-bar windows on the upper floor announce the elegance of its late Gothic residential building.

The preserved first floor hall ("Hospitalstube") preserves a remarkable testimony of medieval carpentry: a strong octagonal wooden column supporting a strong oak ceiling beam. From this room one has immediate access to the impressive vaults of the hospital.

The Hospitalstube offers a Cistercian simple yet appealing setting for a smaller banquet. In addition, seminars, workshops and meetings can be held.

Such "meetings" are appropriately rounded off by a wine tasting, a tour of the hospital or a guided tour of the monastery. But this special room is also suitable for a press conference in an extraordinary ambience.

Abbot´s Garden

up to 100 people

Beschreibung

The garden house and the multi-level garden are visible signs of the development and the associated changes in the former Cistercian Abbey of Eberbach in the Rheingau and were reserved for the abbot alone. They were an expression of the Baroque era, which had almost been replaced, and were laid out opposite the abbot's residence on the western slope of the monastery grounds. The habitable part of the garden house also ensures that the abbot could stay in the highest place in the monastery.

The abbot's garden can only be reached via the upper lawn parterre. Smaller receptions can be held in the open air on a paved terrace; you will not feel any of the visitor traffic in the monastery complex.

Would you like to be married in the open air? The quietly situated abbey garden offers the ideal and special setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony.
Accessible only by 40 steps, the Abtsgarten is the highest area in the monastery and offers a unique view of the monastery grounds.

Old Brewery

up to 80 people

Beschreibung

The high school of viticulture was cultivated in Eberbach at all times. The handling of wine, which reached as far as Cologne, formed a decisive basis for the economic prosperity of the Cistercian abbey.

In addition, the brewing of beer played a subordinate role. However, a brewery dating from the Baroque period has been preserved in Eberbach. Those accustomed to the technical appearance of today's breweries will be surprised by the artistic quality of the architecture of this building.

Cross-vaulted ceilings rest on four solid central pillars, suggesting the abbot's reception room rather than a commercial establishment. This traditional design bears witness to the high value the Cistercians placed on manual labor.

Information for your event planning
Following its extensive renovation, the Old Brewery House can be used for lectures, conferences and presentations. The former band house in front (part of the cooperage) serves as a spacious reception and checkroom. With its stylishly simple atmosphere, the room is suitable for up to 80 people. It can be used in a variety of ways with different seating arrangements.

In the context of large events in the layman's dormitory, the band house presents the organizer already in the entrance area and forms there an independent reception unit.

Monk´s Refectory

up to 120 people

Beschreibung

Monastic dining rooms are called refectories. The Eberbach monks' refectory, like the other buildings that determined the monks' daily routine, is located in the cloister. This innermost district of a monastery, located around the cloister garden, was originally reserved exclusively for the consecrated choir monks.

Adjacent to the refectory was the monastery kitchen: during the renovation, the room was returned to the Romanesque period of construction around 1180. This cross-vaulted ornate room now serves as the vestibule of the refectory and is directly accessible from the Great Monastery Courtyard.

Information for your event planning
The dining hall, which was remodeled in the 18th century, today offers a very exceptional setting for conference events of all kinds. The representative ambience will leave a lasting impression on the participants.

The room can accommodate up to 180 people. It can be used in a variety of ways with different seating arrangements. In the context of larger events, the vestibule presents the organizer already in the entrance area and forms there an independent reception unit.

Cabinet Cellar

up to 120 people

Beschreibung

The Romanesque cellar vaults in which the Cistercian monks initially worked together in daylight soon became a place for storing special wines. A "treasure chamber" for the storage of their noblest wines, which they called "Cabinet" in the age of the Baroque in noble Frenchization.

Today, the Cabinetkeller serves as an atmospheric venue for wine tastings, receptions and wedding ceremonies.

Information for your event planning

Monk's Dormitory

up to 600 people

Beschreibung

The dormitory, i.e. the monks' dormitory, served for the common night's rest of the monastic community. In the early days, the monks rested in the hall, which was unheated all year round, on wooden cots, clad only in their vestments. However, this night's rest lasted only for a short time, since the first choir prayer was usually called into the church shortly after midnight.

The 72-meter-long Eberbach Monks' Dormitory was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. Due to a floor level that rises by about half a meter from south to north, the already enormous hall appears to be lengthened again in perspective when viewed from the south, since the column shaft height had to be successively reduced by the same amount.

The elegant cross-ribbed vaults, which are based on leaf-embellished capitals and plain wall consoles, appear downright noble. Today's visitor is impressed by the experience of a space at rest in itself, which with its light vaults forms a perfect example of the mastery of Gothic architecture.

Information for your event planning
The room is located in the center of the enclosure and cannot be heated.

Layman's Dormitory - North Part

up to 238 people

Beschreibung

The Laymen's Dormitory, the former dormitory of the lay brothers, is located in the largest building in Eberbach, the mighty Converse Building from the early 13th century.

The term "Konversen" was used to describe men, mostly from humble backgrounds, who had turned away from worldly life (conversio = conversion) in order to place their lives and physical labor at the disposal of a monastery. The dimension of the Eberbach convent building testifies to the great importance of the conventuals for the functioning of the religious life.

As a "monastery within a monastery", so to speak, the Konversenbau housed all the rooms necessary for the lay brothers: the dormitory, which today is located at ground level to the guest house, and in the basement the dining room and the storage cellar. The dormitory, 83 meters long, occupies almost the entire floor. The atmosphere of this largest medieval room not used for sacral purposes in Germany is overwhelming.

The two-nave hall comprises 13 cross-vaulted double bays resting on simple squat columns. The clear rhythmic arrangement in the form of vaults, columns and belt arches gives the dormitory a dignified solemnity that has no equal in this form.

Information for your event planning
This Romanesque-simple monumental hall is today equipped with modern technology and is mainly used for large events. For example, the traditional annual Eberbach wine auctions take place here.
The hall is also a frequent venue for highly acclaimed gala events, such as the Rheingau "Riesling Gala", an exquisite wine banquet for many hundreds of participants.

The hall is ideally suited for corporate events such as festive banquets, product launches, annual general meetings, lectures or award ceremonies. It also offers sufficient space for exhibitions or trade fairs. The foyer is ideal for receptions or for catering to guests during breaks. If necessary, the layman's room can be divided by mobile partition walls.

A spacious kitchen area housed on the same level is available for catering.

Basilica (Monastery Church)

up to 600 people

Beschreibung

The monastery church is the central building of every abbey. Seven times a day and once a night, the monks gathered here for choir prayers and church services. The monumental Eberbach monastery church was built between 1136 and 1186 in the form of a Romanesque basilica with three naves.

Its interior still shows the extreme simplicity typical of all Cistercian churches. The monks were not to be distracted from their dialogue with their creator God by any decorations or ornaments. Since this appearance still determines the Eberbach Basilica today, there is hardly any other place in Germany where one can study and experience the purism of Romanesque architecture so impressively.

Information for your event planning
The monastery church is the centerpiece of the visitors' tour and is therefore only considered for an exclusive event during visiting hours in special cases. Concerts and choir singing in the monastery church with its unique acoustics captivate the audience with their dignified charisma and convey unforgettable impressions.

The church is also available for wedding ceremonies, if necessary.
 Please note that the church has been secularized since the secularization.
