Abtei Neuburg

The emblem of Abtei Neuburg near Heidelberg is the letter N with a crozier. First established in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastry for monks, soon changed to be a convent for nuns, was a Cistercian abbey for a while, housed Jesuits and later Lazarists, was sold to worldly owners in the early 19th century, became a literary and philosophical meeting place until it was sold back to the Benedictine order in 1926 which once again established a Bendedictine monastry which still exists today – with less than 10 monks as permanent residents.
