What cunning did Countess Gertrud von Roggenstein use to lure land from her sons to found a monastery? Why is the Wettenhausen winged altar better known to postmen in the United Arab Emirates than in Germany and what is Queen Marie of Naples' wedding dress doing in Wettenhausen? The museum offers exciting insights into the almost thousand-year-old tradition of the monastery, which is particularly famous for its imperial hall with its monumental stucco ceiling.
