Joins as we take a quick walk around Salzburg on our last day in the city, and share some of what we learned during our visit. Also, we will show you where we stayed (Hotel Hofwirt) and where we had our final meal in the city (Die Weisse Beer Garden) before heading off to Switzerland.
Graz
Graz (früher auch Grätz) ist die Landeshauptstadt der Steiermark und mit 286.292 Einwohnern die zweitgrößte Stadt der Republik Österreich. Der Großraum Graz war in den letzten zehn Jahren der am schnellsten wachsende Ballungsraum Österreichs.
Das Grazer Feld war in der römischen Kaiserzeit eine dicht besiedelte Agrarlandschaft. Im 6. Jahrhundert wurde hier eine Burg errichtet, von der sich der Name Graz ableitet (slowenisch gradec bedeutet kleine Burg).[2] Das Stadtwappen erhielt Graz 1245, von 1379 bis 1619 war es habsburgische Residenzstadt und widerstand in diesem Zeitraum mehreren osmanischen Angriffen. 2003 war Graz die Kulturhauptstadt Europas; 2015 wurde es Reformationsstadt Europas.
Graz hat sich zu einer Universitätsstadt mit insgesamt fast 60.000 Studierenden entwickelt. Sie wurde zur Menschenrechtsstadt erkoren und ist Trägerin des Europapreises. Die Altstadt von Graz und das Schloss Eggenberg gehören seit 1999 bzw. 2010 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Graz ist Bischofssitz der Diözese Graz-Seckau. Seit März 2011 ist Graz als UNESCO City of Design Teil des Creative Cities Network.

Ettal Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in the village of Ettal close to Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. With a community (as of 2005) of more than 50 monks, with another five at Wechselburg, the Abbey is one of the largest Benedictine houses and is a major attraction for visitors.
History
======
Middle Ages and Early Modern period
--------------------------------------------------
Ettal Abbey was founded on 28 April 1330, Saint Vitalis of Milan's day, by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in the Graswang valley, in fulfilment of an vow, on his return from his coronation in Rome, on a site of strategic importance on the primary trade route between Italy and Augsburg. The foundation legend is that Ludwig's horse genuflected three times on the site of the original church building, where a marble statuette of the Madonna and Child (Frau Stifterin or the Ettal Madonna) now stands. The statuette was brought by Ludwig from Pisa as a gift for his new foundation. It soon became an object of pilgrimage.The church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin.
The foundation originally consisted of a Benedictine double monastery – a community for men and another for women – and also a house of the Teutonic Knights.
The original Gothic abbey church, built between 1330 and 1370, was a modest structure in comparison to the great churches of medieval Bavaria.
The abbey suffered great damage during the Reformation at the hands of the troops of Maurice of Saxony, but survived the troubles of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).
Baroque expansion
---------------------------
In 1709, under Abbot Placidus II Seiz, the golden age of Ettal began with the establishment of the Knights' Academy (Ritterakademie), which developed into a highly successful school and began the educational tradition of the abbey. In 1744, the abbey and the abbey church were largely destroyed in a fire. The subsequent spectacular re-building in the Baroque style, with a double-shelled dome, was to the plans of Enrico Zuccalli, a Swiss-Italian architect working in Munich, who had studied with Bernini. The decoration was primarily carried out by Josef Schmutzer of the Wessobrunn School of stuccoists and Johann Baptist Straub, who was responsible for the altars and the chancel.
Ettal's importance as a place of pilgrimage grew with the new buildings and it became one of the most important monasteries in the Alpine region.
Secularization
-------------------
The abbey was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization of church property in Bavaria. The site was acquired in 1809 by Josef von Elbing and sold by his descendants in 1856 to Count Pappenheim. Some small building works were completed during the 19th century, principally the renovation of the façade and the twin bell towers.
Second foundation
------------------------
In 1898, the buildings were acquired by Baron Theodor von Cramer-Klett and, in 1900, given to the Benedictines of Scheyern Abbey, who re-founded the monastery here. It has been a member of the Bavarian Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation since 1900. The abbey church of the Ascension was declared a basilica minor in 1920.
During the winter of 1940–1941, the German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) spent some months at the monastery as the friend and guest of the Abbot. Like Bonhoeffer, a number of those in the Ettal community were involved in the conspiracy against Hitler. While at Ettal, Bonhoeffer also worked on his book Ethics. Catholic priest Rupert Mayer was kept at the Abbey under house arrest from 1939 to 1945 by the Nazis to prevent him from further anti-Nazi preaching.
In 1993 Ettal re-founded the former Wechselburg Abbey in Saxony, an old monastery of the Augustinian Canons, as a Benedictine priory.
Ettal maintains a Byzantine Institute. The abbot of Ettal, Joannes Hoeck, made a significant contribution on the role of Patriarchs in Church government at the Second Vatican Council.
In early 2010 ten priests at the Ettal Abbey boarding school were accused of sadistic beatings, molestation, or making sexual advances on boys as well as sadism. In March, 2010, authorities raided the monastery as part of a probe into allegations that priests sexually abused children there.[2] By an Apostolic Visitation and an independent investigation these allegations have been surveyed and consequences have been drafted. The major part of the abuses took place in the late 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.
