Mallersdorf Monastery The monastery dedicated to St. John the Evangelist was founded in 1107 by Heinrich von Kirchberg, a ministerial of the Imperial Abbey of Niedermünster in Regensburg. In 1109, Bishop Hartwig consecrated the St. John Chapel, which had already been consecrated by Bishop Wolfgang, as Mallersdorf's first monastery church. In 1136, Abbot Eppo dissolved the double monastery (as a community of men and women) that had probably existed in Mallersdorf up to that point, and the women's convent moved to neighboring Eitting. Romanesque church buildings in the 12th century, a religious heyday in the 13th century, and the Kastler Reformation in the 15th century shaped the later Middle Ages. The abbey was on the verge of dissolution in the middle of the 16th century. The monastery's position was consolidated when the monks from the Ebersberg Benedictine Abbey, which had been abolished by Pope Clement VIII in 1595, moved there. Under Abbot Anton Schelshorn (1665–1695), the central training center of the Bavarian Benedictine Congregation was established in Mallersdorf. In the 18th century, the monastery experienced another cultural, scientific and religious heyday. This was expressed in the redesign of the monastery church, which culminated in the construction of the artistically outstanding high altar by the Munich sculptor Ignaz Günther. The Latin school run by monks in the monastery on the Johannisberg enjoyed an excellent reputation. In 1803, the monastery was dissolved as part of the secularization in Bavaria. The goods were auctioned off, and from 1807 onwards the monastery buildings were used as offices for the district authorities and as official residences. Since 1869, sisters from the order of the Poor Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Family have lived in the monastery. Today they run a monastery brewery there, which brews around 60 hectoliters of beer per week. The monastery also runs the "Specialist Academy for Social Pedagogy of the Poor Franciscan Sisters of Mallersdorf". There is also the Nardini Secondary School, named after the founder of the community. In August 2014, it was reported that Sister Doris Engelhard, a nun at the abbey and certified master brewer, is the last beer-brewing nun in Europe. She has been brewing beer in the abbey for over 40 years. Brewing in the abbey was revived in 1881. On brewing days, she is exempt from morning prayers and begins work in the abbey's brewery at 3:30 a.m. Source: www.wikipedia.de

The road leads idyllically through the forest with many bends. A cooling change in the summer heat. Good asphalt, a little rough.

The narrow, quiet road runs parallel to the St2111 past Mengkofen. A good alternative.

The Catholic branch church of the Holy Cross in Haindling was renovated in 1621 with a Gothic core; the tower dates from 1629. In 1626, the high-rise, essentially late medieval cross church was given an arched gallery on a high base, to which a staircase with the symbolic number of 28 steps leads up and its middle arcade is designed as a pulpit for displaying relics. Important Renaissance altar by the Regensburg master Hans Wilhelm from 1621. Baroque Stations of the Cross from 1733. The church is open during the day.
