The Professed Book of the Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg is online!

The last project initiated five years ago to mark the 900th anniversary of Engelberg Abbey has now also been completed. Until then, the monastery was the only Benedictine abbey in Switzerland not to have a published professed book. But that is now history. 828 names are listed in the Engelberg profession book. Historian Annina Sandmeier-Walt and Abbey archivist Rolf De Kegel are responsible for this extensive work. In their research, they were able to draw in part on the preliminary work of Brother Meinrad Haberl, Father Gall Heer and other previous listings. The Professed Book of the Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg can now be viewed online at
