Germany: Maulbronn Monastery Complex

On 22nd June I got two postcards from Germany.

One of them shows the Maulbronn Monastery Complex. The Maulbronn Monastery was founded in 1147 by the Cistercians and the main buildings were built between the 12th and 16th century. The Monastery's church was built in Transitional Gothic style and had an influence on the spread of Gothic architecture in northern and central Europe. Today is the Maulbronn Monastery Complex considered the most complete and best-preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps. Some parts of Hermann Hesse's novel Beneath the Wheel are set there. Since 1993 is the Maulbronn Monastery Complex on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

A flower definitive was used here.


Thank You very much Marcel!
