St. Peter - St. Peter
What is the parish church of the village St. Peter (pop. 2400) was once the church of the Benedictian abbey "St. Peter auf dem Schwarzwald" ("Saint Peter in the Black Forest").
Architect Peter Thumb, who has worked as well in Schwarzach, designed this baroque church, built 1724/27. Below this church are probably the foundations of a large romanesque church, as the monastery got founded already 1093 by Berthold I of Zaehringen (see "Freiburg") as a "family monastery" for the House of Zaehringen. It was part of the monastical reformation, that Bernhard of Hirsau had triggered, influenced by Cluniac ideas. Over the centuries the abbey burnt down four times and went through hard times, but existed upto 1806, when it got dissolved in the secularisation. Most buildings of the large (baroque) monastery complex still exist - now used for the local administration and a seminary.
