The Abbey of Lorsch is a former Imperial abbey in Lorsch, Germany, about 10 km east of Worms.
It was one of the most renowned monasteries of the Carolingian Empire.
Even in its ruined state, its remains are among the most important pre-Romanesque–Carolingian style buildings in Germany.
Its chronicle, entered in the Lorscher Codex compiled in the 1170s is a fundamental document for early medieval German history.
Another famous document from the monastic library is the Codex Aureus of Lorsch.
In 1991 the ruined abbey was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The abbey was founded in 764 by the Frankish Count Cancor and his widowed mother Williswinda as a proprietary church and monastery on their estate, Laurissa.
It was dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
The founders entrusted its government to Cancor's nephew Chrodegang, Archbishop of Metz, who became its first abbot.
The pious founders enriched the new abbey by further donations.
To make the abbey popular as a shrine and a place of pilgrimage, Chrodegang obtained from Pope Paul I the body of Saint Nazarius, martyred at Rome with three companions under Diocletian.
In 1248 Premonstratensian monks from Allerheiligen were given charge of the monastery with the sanction of Pope Celestine IV.
During the Thirty Years' War Lorsch and its neighbourhood suffered greatly.
In 1621, Spanish troops pillaged the abbey and most of the buildings at Lorsch were pulled down.
After the Archbishopric of Mainz regained possession of it in 1623, the region was returned to the Catholic faith.
However, the abbey remained a ruin and served as a source of building materials for the whole region.
The most depressed period for Lorsch was during the wars of Louis XIV of France in the late 17th century.
Whole villages in the region were laid in ruins, the homes of the peasantry were burned, and the French soldiers torched the old abbey buildings.
One portion, which was left intact, served as a tobacco warehouse in the years before World War I.
The ancient entrance hall, the Königshalle or aula regia, built in the ninth century by King Louis II, is the oldest monument of Carolingian architecture.

Places to see in ( Mainz - Germany ) Markt
Places to see in ( Mainz - Germany ) Markt
The market in Mainz is the northern and largest of the four places around the Mainz Cathedral. The market is likely to have become the main hub for goods of all kinds at the latest with the cathedral building around 975. At the southern edge were initially the shops of woolen and cloth merchants and furriers . On the north side were food stalls and bakery stalls . Over the centuries, agricultural products began to predominate in supply . They were initially offered in large baskets standing on the floor and later on tables. The names Korbgasse, Seilergasse and Fischergasse testify that the commercial activity extended beyond the square into the immediate vicinity.
Elector Albrecht of Brandenburg had 1526 build the market well in the style of the Renaissance . Representative, but modest in their dimensions baroque houses replaced in the 18th century in front of the cathedral, the local predecessors. At the same time, the older building row on the north side of the market was given a festive character by a few new buildings and conversions.
At the end of the 19th century, for reasons of traffic safety with sidewalks and carriageways, pedestrians were separated from vehicular traffic. As a result, the market well had to be relocated. With the exception of the baroque Domhäuser Markt 18-26, none of the magnificent town buildings survived the Second World War and the air raids on Mainz . For the market place Karl Gruber demanded in 1949 that this should receive as a traffic-free space the pedestrian and not cut it with a diagonal road. [1] For the next 26 years, however, just this was realized.
In Mainz celebrated the millennial cathedral anniversary in 1975. It was the occasion for a competition for the pedestrian-friendly transformation of the cathedral places Liebfrauenplatz , Markt, Höfchen and Leichhof . First prize went to the architectural firm Infra Gesellschaft für Umweltplanung. The planning concept of the architect Wolfram Becker allowed the return of the Marktbrunnen to its old location. With the Heunensäule the market got a new center. For three of the four cathedral squares were chosen as flooring blue basalt - paving with granite strips .
On the north side of the market, according to the proposal of the first laureate, the historical façade should, as far as feasible, be restored. This concept was approved by the municipal bodies. 1979 began with the external transformation of the post-war buildings. At Haus Markt 7/9, the façade of the 1903 demolished Haus Augustinerstraße 67 was the godfather. Market 1 and 5 were rebuilt with reconstruction of pre-war facades. In 1991, the transformation was completed on the north side of the market. The reconstructed market facades soon became one of the most popular postcard motifs.
It was followed in 2003, again according to plans by the architect Wolfram Becker, the restoration of the facades of Markt 19 and 21 with a redesign of market 23-29. At the corner house, the architect based on the classical building of 1816, which had stood on this estate until the end of the 19th century. After years in the house market 11-13 the local cinemas Rex and Bambi were out of order, acquired the Wohnbau Mainz this building complex and a short time later the building market 15.
The planned change of use into a residential and commercial building according to the plans of the architectural firm Massimiliano Fuksas demanded a demolition and rebuilding. At the end of 2008, the old facade was restored with only a few changes.
