Allgemeine Informationen/General information
The federation of the Benedictines of St Lioba was founded in 1920 by Maria Benedikta Föhrenbach, as a congregation in Freiburgi Breisgau in Southern Germany.
The idea of establishing the order goes back to the years after the First World War, when she saw the need into which families had sunk because of the war. She chose St Lioba as the patron saint of the Order. The congregation was recognised by Canon Law in 1927. In 1935 the Order was called to Denmark and founded a convent in Copenhagen. The congregation was reorganised in 1969 as a federation with independent priorates. Today we have convents in Germany, India, Austria and Denmark.
